Balenciaga B. Balenciaga is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Domitille Michalon Bertier. B. Balenciaga opens with Violet Leaf and Lily Of The Valley, settles into a heart of Sweet Pea, Cedar, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Ambrette and Cashmeran. Balenciaga's B. Balenciaga carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This green, woody Balenciaga offering is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique cool pea-pod freshness and sophistication or wrinkle your nose at its savoury, pickle-like oddness. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

About

B. Balenciaga opens with an intriguing blend of fresh green notes, led by violet leaf and the unusual sweetness of pea, softened by lily of the valley. This crisp introduction transitions into a heart of earthy orris and clean cedar, lending a woody depth. The composition settles into a musky, subtly aquatic base, creating a cool, somewhat metallic aura that evokes a sense of modern elegance. It's a scent that manages to be both familiar and utterly unique, like freshly cut stems after a spring rain.
