Where it fits.

  • Date night

    Crystal is amber and sweet, made for a night out.

  • Signature

    Crystal is amber and woody with a clear character, good on most days.

  • All-rounder

    Crystal works in three seasons and many places, the one to grab when unsure.

  • Winter cold

    Crystal is warm, amber and sweet, so it lasts in cold air.

  • Formal

    Crystal is polished and woody, so it sits well with a suit.

Try them together

Three pairings

The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.

  1. Amouage

    Jubilation XXV's oud wood takes on a warm glow from Crystal's saffron, and both carry ambergris.

    Spray Jubilation XXV first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Crystal on top (1 spray, neck and wrists).

  2. Armaf

    Club de Nuit Precieux 1's leather takes on a warm glow from Crystal's saffron, tied by shared ambroxan.

    Spray Club de Nuit Precieux 1 first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Crystal on top (1 spray, neck and wrists).

  3. Armaf

    Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir's pink pepper adds a spark to the ambergris in Crystal, tied by shared ambroxan.

    Spray Crystal first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
