Balenciaga Paris perfume
Inspired by everyone’s favorite It Girl, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Balenciaga’s new Paris perfume is a fresh, fragile, and discreet paradox of scents.
Just like its muse, this purely unadorned bottle is also purely sophisticated. With demure violet notes that are a reminder of the first days of spring, this signature Balenciaga scent features the antique charms of dried petals, rendering a light fragrance with dark apertures that evoke the lightness of sunshine with fiery, peppery notes of calm woods. Sensual and luminous, a few spritzes of this are enough to emulate Gainsbourg’s close-yet-inaccessible air.
Balenciaga Paris perfume, $95, available at Balenciaga online and Balenciaga boutiques worldwide.
