Cristóbal
Inspired by the House’s founder, Cristóbal is enigmatic and understated, yet radiates
gravitas, evoking the duality of M. Balenciaga. It layers the preciousness of real Assafi
oud essence with a sensual double-thread weaving of glowing patchouli and oak
moss. Its silky oud structure is twisted with subtle ripples of texture, recalling the
House’s iconic “chou” shapes—a tribute to the founder’s name, the most treasured
name of the House, realized through one of the most precious ingredients in
perfumery, oud oil.
