Editorial notes

  1. 01

    A green hesperidic floral built as a daytime counterpart to Chanel No. 19: sharper, citrusier, less meditative than its iris-led sister.

  2. 02

    Henri Robert's last major composition for Chanel before handing the in-house chair to Jacques Polge in 1978.

  3. 03

    The name (French for 'crystal') matches the fragrance's transparent, refined feel and the clear flacon's faceted shoulders.

  4. 04

    Composed by Henri Robert in 1974 around lemon and green notes over a jasmine-honeysuckle heart, with a vetiver-oakmoss drydown.

The brief

Henri Robert built it as a daytime counterpart to Chanel No. 19, sharper and citrusier where No. 19 was iris-floral.

Name'Cristalle' — French for 'crystal', matching the fragrance's transparent, refined feel.

The Curator's Note

Chanel's daytime sister to No. 19, lighter on the meditation, heavier on the daylight.
