Ivoire, a perfume in the image of Balmain's couture creations
Ivoire is a sensual and untamed perfume. In short, it is in the image of Balmain fashion. It pays tribute to the beauty of women and combines the sobriety of the house's creations with modernity as well as profound elegance.
The elegance of the perfume Ivoire
Ivoire is a legendary perfume that was created in 1982 by Pierre Balmain. This olfactory masterpiece was this talented designer's last juice. It is at once elegant, deeply feminine and timeless. Also, when Pierre Balmain described it, he said: This is the name I gave to a dream. The name of a woman of sovereign beauty, dressed in very pale silk. I crossed paths with her for a moment at the foot of the Opéra staircase before she disappeared into the night. What remains in my memory is her hat and her perfume… He thus turned this unexpected vision into a charismatic, elegant and simply timeless perfume.
The chypre scent of Balmain
Although this iconic perfume was created in 1982, it was nonetheless readjusted in 2012. Of course, it kept its original spirit but was slightly modernized. It opens on a bouquet of violets paired with orange blossom as well as jasmine and rose. In this sense, it is immediately deeply feminine. However, it also highlights all its liveliness through mandarin. Galbanum, for its part, releases a biting freshness. It is, on the other hand, softened by the exoticism of ylang-ylang. Then, Ivoire reveals a more chypre base. It releases notes of patchouli, vetiver and cedar. Finally, the whole is tied together by a touch of vanilla that makes it even more enveloping.
