Crystal is a long lasting Extrait de Parfum for men and women. It lasts up to 12 hours and is made for Indian heat and humidity.
Crystal is green, clean and a little sharp. It opens with crushed green leaves, bergamot and a touch of pepper. After an hour it softens into iris, rose, violet and jasmine, powdery rather than sweet. By evening it is oakmoss, vetiver and sandalwood, dry and earthy. If every perfume you have tried is too sweet, this is the one.

Why it lasts
Extrait de Parfum is the strongest perfume type, with far more perfume oil than an EDT or EDP. Oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver are base notes that hold on fabric for hours. Wear time depends on fabric, weather and how many sprays you use.
How to wear
Spray on clothes, not skin, from about 10 inches away. One or two sprays on the collar or chest. More sprays make it louder, not longer.
Best for
Office, daytime, meetings, travel. Summer and monsoon, when sweet perfumes feel heavy. A woman who wants something elegant without sugar. A man who wants a classic, not a trend. If you want sweeter, see Celebrate. If you want warmer, see Honey Dew.
Sizes
55 ml and 100 ml. Both are full-size bottles.
