Where to buy
It is therefore more particularly on the last of these that we will dwell today. Who then is the character hiding behind the name Balthazar?
A few words on the house Héloïse de V
Héloïse de V is a house that stands apart from fashions and trends. Its perfumery is above all a source of sensations and emotions. It is much more a creative approach than a marketing one. In this sense, many Héloïse de V perfumes stem from an unforgettable moment, an aromatic memory or a place dear to her heart. Most of them are indeed evocative of the south of France and smell of the scents of the Garrigue. Generally speaking, Héloïse de V, or rather Valérie d'André by her real name, is an artist who is just as passionate about music as she is about writing or craftsmanship. A wanderer at heart, she does not hesitate to travel across continents to discover multiple cultures there and to develop her taste for others and for scents. Behind this woman of character lie perfumes full of poetry. Indeed, Héloïse de V is a person who stands out, and it is precisely a bit of her temperament that is found in the fiery scent of the perfume Balthazar.
Who is the one called Balthazar?
Balthazar is a name that refers to a historical figure from Valérie d'André's family. Balthazar d'André was a fervent defender of the Republic, born in the 18th century. He is notably known for having taken part in the first constituent assembly of Aix-en-Provence. This architect of the future Republic was also a descendant of Saint Louis. A particularly committed man, he loved above all to defend his ideas, and more particularly liberty and equality. Balthazar was an important political figure with a strong character. This is also precisely why the perfume Balthazar by Héloïse de V is intended for men in his image. This fragrance takes the form of a thick leather, a kind of solid armor actually concealing an extreme softness. Balthazar elegantly combines woody notes with those of blond tobacco and whisky. This intoxication is also accompanied by the virility of vetiver as well as a touch of anise. If one were to describe Balthazar as a man, he would most likely be described as a refined adventurer. In other words, if you are a leader at heart, chances are this perfume will appeal to you. What is more, know that it comes in a very elegant bottle to which it would be impossible to give an age, so chic and refined is it.
