Balmain de Balmain

Balmain · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1998

≈ $55 · 75ml · approx. retail

Balmain de Balmain (1998) continues the house's green-chypre lineage with a peppery galbanum opening over an iris-and-violet floral heart and a mossy woody base. It is a quieter, more understated take on the classic Balmain chypre formula from the 1990s.
