Balmain Beauty 2012 EDP
Ivoire
by Michel Almairac , Jacques Flori
Balmain Beauty Ivoire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Michel Almairac and Jacques Flori. Ivoire opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Balmain Beauty's Ivoire carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Timeline
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.
