About

Balenciaga Paris opens with an immediate, fresh burst of green, dewy violet leaf, quickly joined by the delicate, slightly sweet essence of violet petals. This floral heart is beautifully accented by a subtle, peppery carnation. As it dries down, a sophisticated woody base of cedar emerges, intertwined with a clean, earthy patchouli that grounds the fragrance without making it heavy or 'hippy'. It's a predominantly cool, powdery, and woody violet experience.
