The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cristóbal (2025) by Balenciaga captures the essence of the brand's architectural and elegant design philosophy. Launched in 2025, this Oriental Woody fragrance is a unisex creation that embodies sophistication and earthy warmth. The composition centers around patchouli and oud, creating a rich blend of earthy and woody notes with a warm, spicy undertone. This blend is anchored by mossy and balsamic accords, adding depth and complexity to the overall scent.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly; the patchouli and oud notes are potent and project well. One or two sprays should suffice to carry you through the day with its rich, warm character. It pairs best in cooler weather when the earthy and woody nuances can truly shine.
