Cristobal pour Homme is a sophisticated, deeply layered masculine fragrance with a powerful olfactory presence that lingers for hours. Its opening features a bold mix of artemisia, bergamot, coriander, lavender, and white pepper, creating a bright, spicy, and aromatic introduction that evolves into a rich woody-amber base. The heart reveals a compelling blend of sandalwood, patchouli, tea, and geranium, contributing depth and texture, while the base anchors the scent with warm, noble elements—vanilla, benzoin, amber, and tobacco—that give it a luxurious, slightly sweet, yet restrained character. The fragrance is both elegant and confident, embodying a refined masculinity that balances gourmand sweetness with dry, elegant woods and a hint of powdery sophistication.
