Ivoire

Which Should You Buy?
A perfectly balanced violet that's both refined and a bit aloof. Often described as elegant yet distinctly modern, Balenciaga Paris is a beloved, versatile scent that many lament has been discontinued.
If you're after a clean, sophisticated, soapy scent that exudes timeless elegance without screaming for attention, Ivoire is an absolute gem. A real love-it-or-hate-it for some; for others, it's a classy office staple that evokes pure comfort. Prepare to search for it, though - this beauty's been cruelly discontinued.
