OrientalWhat does Cristobal Eau de Cristobal smell like?
It begins with rhubarb, mandarin orange, bergamot and blackcurrant, giving a citrusy, fruity brightness. In the heart, freesia, peony, ylang-ylang and jasmine bring the floral side forward. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood, amber and vanilla sweetens it and settles into a woody, powdery, lightly spicy warmth.
Its profile is close to Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo Eau Indigo pour Femme and La Perla Just Precious.
