In short, Balmain Homme is a juice that is sure to delight the unconditional fans of this great creative house.

The oriental and woody scent of Balmain Homme

Balmain Homme is a fragrance imagined by perfumer Olivier Pescheux. He created an addictive, sensual and elegant juice. It is an essence that would be classified in the oriental woody family. Its scent opens on a marked and soft freshness of bergamot. This ingredient is a true stimulant that immediately sends a genuinely fresh breath wafting through. Equally, the character of Balmain Homme is clearly expressed through the spicy notes of saffron. This particularly luxurious ingredient is exclusively reserved for fine perfumery. Indeed, its spicy, leathery and honeyed notes conceal a rather exorbitant price that can reach up to €45,000 per kilo! This very luxurious raw material is then coupled with the creaminess of macadamia nut. This accord thus appears particularly gourmand. The heart of Balmain Homme is all about contrast. It combines the very virile smell of leather with the more floral and powdery softness of violet leaf. This combination gives the essence an irresistible retro chic quality. Finally, Balmain Homme closes on a woodier scent of cedar and oakmoss. These elements bring complementary richness to this refined fragrance. The tonka bean also enriches the whole with a very natural, soft, slightly smoky and almond-like effect.

The look of Balmain's new bottle

Balmain is a brand with an inimitable style that paints the image of a free, bold and urban man. And it is precisely this image that seems to have been captured to be placed at the heart of this fragrance. It creates a perfect continuity between the fashion universe of Balmain and its perfumery sector. The design of the bottle is signed by the talented Olivier Rousteing. To create it, the designer drew direct inspiration from the brand's menswear. The bottle opts for the very structured lines that are iconic to Balmain. In particular, it fully evokes the look of the brand's famous military jacket. One finds its epaulettes and metallic badge. This bottle displays a true attention to detail. Its midnight blue hue is absolutely captivating and very elegant. Its black cap is majestically engraved with an eagle, the emblematic figure of Balmain's buttons. The eagle is a symbol of strength and freedom, a guiding principle very dear to the brand, which shines through in every aspect of this new fragrance.
