Cristóbal (Parfum)

"Cristóbal is a unisex parfum introduced as part of Balenciaga's 2025 fragrance relaunch. The composition centers on Assafi oud, supported by patchouli and oak moss. Its character is dark, spicy, smoky, animalic, and woody-green rather than conventionally sweet or floral. The oud gives the fragrance a powerful and highly distinctive identity. Patchouli adds earthy depth, while oak moss contributes a cool green and shadowy facet. The overall impression is bold, enveloping, and cocooning, with a polished interpretation of oud that suits the house's modern luxury image."
