Cristalle Chanel 1993 Eau de Parfum

An extraordinarily green-floral fragrance with a powdery iris and hyacinth at the center of attention. Small dabs of dark green aquilegia blend into a pastel landscape painting. Delicate colors that nevertheless light up vividly. It is a fragrance with an elegant, possibly austere aura, which nevertheless does not lapse into harshness. It also has the typical cosmetic scent of some Chanel fragrances. For me, it sometimes seems a little distant. Not a perfume that everyone wants to like. At least not from today's perspective.
I have the new version and also know the old one. The new one is a little lighter, a little less mossy, but more powdery and lighter.
Slight hints of fruit, peach, but possibly also melon, take away some of Cristalle's heaviness and allow the perfume to breathe.
I would not generally attest to the perfume's suitability for seduction, as a certain severity, but no harshness, resonates. It goes well with neatly coiffed hair, a knee-length skirt, heels without red soles, a high-necked blouse, soft red lips and a capeline hat that keeps out the sun. Does that fit in the garden? Yes and no....The scent is unlikely to capture a natural garden, but it could be associated with an English garden.
