Balenciaga Le Dix Perfume is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1947, created by Francis Fabron. Le Dix Perfume opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Coriander, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Balenciaga's Le Dix Perfume carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. "Le Dix" is a divisive masterpiece of powdery aldehydes, fiercely loved by some for its vintage charm and elegant complexity, while others find its classic intensity a bit much. It's a journey, not a sprint.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine stepping into a cloud of sparkling, fresh aldehydes, brightened by zesty lemon and a hint of sweet peach. This effervescent opening quickly settles into a rich, powdery floral heart where iris, rose, and a phantom violet meld with buttery ylang-ylang. The real magic happens as it dries down, revealing a surprisingly sensual base of civet and musk, softened by warm amber, vanilla, and creamy sandalwood, creating an animalic yet refined allure.
