    Real talk

    This is the galbanum lover's gamble. That sharp, green, almost-medicinal note takes over the heart, some find it remarkable, others find it unsettling.Macaque
    Cristalle EDP is the answer for anyone who wants Chanel elegance without the heavy aldehydes or overwhelming sillage. The peach and hyacinth heart gives it a ripe quality that feels modern even now.Cristalle Eau de Parfum
