About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Cristobal by Balenciaga, launched in 1998 and composed by Olivier Gillotin, is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women. The top notes open with fig leaf, carnation, and bergamot—a green, slightly spicy, and citrusy introduction. The heart reveals a floral bouquet of peony, freesia, and jasmine, adding a soft, powdery sweetness. The base grounds the composition with vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli, creating a warm, woody, and slightly earthy finish. The main accords—woody, floral, vanilla, warm spicy, fresh, and green—reflect a complex, well-balanced scent that evolves beautifully on the skin.
This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate classic 1990s orientals with a modern twist. It is ideal for those who enjoy green and spicy openings that transition into a creamy, floral heart and a comforting, woody base. Perfect for evening wear or cooler months, Cristobal is a sophisticated choice for women who prefer a scent that is both elegant and distinctive. Its discontinued status makes it a sought-after gem for vintage perfume enthusiasts.
中文簡介
Balenciaga Cristobal 於1998年推出,由調香師 Olivier Gillotin 創作,屬東方辛辣調女香。前調以無花果葉、康乃馨與佛手柑揭開,帶來綠意、微辛與柑橘的清新感;中調綻放牡丹、小蒼蘭與茉莉的花香,柔美粉甜;基調以香草、檀香與廣藿香收結,溫暖木質中帶一絲泥土氣息。整體香調結構平衡,木質、花香、香草、暖辛、清新與綠意交織,層次豐富。
此香適合喜愛90年代經典東方調的收藏家,尤其鍾情綠意辛辣開場、奶油花香中調與舒適木質基調的女性。適合晚間或涼爽季節使用,展現優雅而獨特的氣質。由於已停產,更顯珍貴,是復古香水愛好者不容錯過的選擇。
