Homme

The perfumes of this house also seem to be conceived with exactly the same philosophy. Such is unquestionably the case with the men's fragrance Balmain Homme, created in 2015 and signed by perfumer Olivier Pescheux.

A fragrance in the image of all Balmain collections

Olivier Rousteing is the new creative director of the Balmain house. He joined the label a few years ago and immediately gave a second wind to the whole of its creations. He has brilliantly preserved the tradition of this great house while infusing it with a breath of modernity. Furthermore, Balmain unveils collections built of elegance and confidence, precision and creativity. Balmain has today gained a rock culture and its masculine signature is now freer and bolder than ever. The Balmain man is more urban than before. Balmain Homme is thus a fragrance conceived in his image, ideally designed to enhance his style. This juice possesses an uncommon elegance, both refined and contemporary. It suits perfectly a determined man with a strong temperament. Thanks to it, the Balmain man gains an unmatched power of attraction. Indeed, Balmain Homme possesses an unmatched sense of seduction. It sits at the boundary between fragility and virility. Made of multiple contrasts, it is a resolutely captivating juice.

The multiple facets of Balmain Homme

Balmain Homme is a fragrance that does not beat around the bush and that electrifies our senses from its top notes. It opens with a metallic freshness, tender at once, emanating from bergamot, a fruit born from the crossing of the lemon tree and the bitter orange tree. This is also paired with spices such as nutmeg or saffron. Balmain Homme thus immediately plays on a warm-cold contrast. It then evolves toward a subtler heart made of leathery, virile notes counterbalanced by the presence of violet leaves. These lend the whole a green and elegant character. The whole becomes akin to a second skin. At this point, its formula surprises with the crisp presence of a green apple. The fruity character of this ingredient is then relayed by a more languid base. This base notably contains cedarwood paired with the sweetness of tonka bean as well as the depth of oakmoss. In terms of visuals, Balmain Homme is housed in a bottle unmistakably inspired by the house's menswear. It resembles a kind of military jacket with a virile build, fitted with elegant epaulettes and metallic plates. Balmain has thus designed its fragrance with extreme attention to detail. Balmain Homme is as surprising in terms of scent as it is in terms of design.
