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.
