Balmain Beauty 2008 EDP
Ambre Gris
Balmain Beauty Ambre Gris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Guillaume Flavigny. Ambre Gris opens with Pink Pepper and Sage, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Frangipani, Myrrh, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, and Ambergris. Balmain Beauty's Ambre Gris carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.
Balmain's Ambre Gris is a divisive beast. Some find it a 'masterpiece' of spiced amber, creamy and sensual; others, a 'pissy' or 'industrial' mess. If you're after a unique, warm scent unlike anything else, it's worth the gamble for its sublime dry-down.

Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its warm, balsamic nature and reported excellent longevity make it a perfect fit for dates and formal events, creating a sensual aura. However, the strong initial spice and intimate character might be too much for an office setting, and it’s definitely not suited for sport.
