The Different Company Sublime Balkiss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Céline Ellena. Sublime Balkiss opens with Bergamot and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Lilac, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Patchouli, and Heather. The Different Company's Sublime Balkiss carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a divisive green floral: some find it a gorgeous, ethereal spring garden, others a messy clash of notes. Its subtle nature means those who love it might need to reapply often.

Its fresh, green, and floral profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for the office due to its moderate projection. However, its often-reported short longevity and mild character limit its appropriateness for formal events where a more impactful fragrance might be preferred.

About

Sublime Balkiss opens with a sharp, ozonic burst of violet leaf and bergamot, evoking wet, freshly cut greenery. Soon, a watery floral heart emerges with rose, lily of the valley, and lilac, underpinned by a tart blackcurrant. As it settles, hints of earthy patchouli and a touch of raw cacao add a subtle, grounded depth.
