What does Silver Cristal smell like?

It opens with geranium, lily, rose and ylang-ylang, with carrot leaf and cyclamen adding a green edge. The heart brings heliotrope, iris, jasmine, peach and plum, with clove adding spice. The base is led by sandalwood, cedar, oakmoss and amber, while frankincense, vanilla and civet make it warm, resinous and oriental.

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so that picture rests on a limited sample. The scent is dense, mature and distinct. Halston Halston (Eau de Toilette) and Fragonard Rêve Indien have a close profile.
