Carbone
Balmain · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2024
≈ $165 · 100ml · approx. retail
Part of the all-gender Les Éternels de Balmain collection, the 2024 Carbone by Quentin Bisch pairs a maximalist white-musk-and-suede base with a minimalist rose-and-patchouli heart, spiked with a touch of cumin. It reimagines the house's 2010 masculine Carbone as a sleeker, unisex musk-woody signature under creative director Olivier Rousteing.
