It wasn’t until the tenure of Nicolas Ghesquière – who took over in 1997, the first designer truly to fill Cristóbal Balenciaga’s shoes, after the couturier retired – that the house turned its creativity to fragrance once again. First came Balenciaga Paris, its elegant, pared-down bottle promising a ‘delicate mystery’, and with Charlotte Gainsbourg – a new Balenciaga‘muse’ – as its face. (Charlotte was actually involved in choosing the final fragrance, out of the final trails, opting for this version of the spring-like, violet-rich scent because ‘there was something more frank about it,’ as she told WWD.) Paris is one of the best known fragrances produced by the brand Balenciaga and a perennial favourite. This long-wearing and intense eau de parfum will persist up to 8 hours with just a few sprays. Olivier Polge is the perfumer who designed this memorable fragrance.. The year of conception is 2010, a fact that identifies it as a must-have proposal of the 2000s. A proportion of essential oil making up approximately 15% of the total composition is the requirement that allows the product to be categorised as an eau de parfum. Bouquet Lovers Dream Like so many, Balenciaga fled the Spanish Civil War – in his case, moving his HQ to the world’s fashion capital of Paris, in 1937. A year later, he opened his beautiful neoclassical flagship store at 10 Avenue George V, which you can still visit today. Despite the list of notes, Balenciaga Paris is a seemingly simple perfume in that there is little else but violet that can be smelled, however if you are a violet lover like me, this perfume is unique because of what it is not. It is not a green earthy violet, nor is it a moody, dusty violet, nor is it a candied, sweet violet. It a light, almost sheer floral violet, slightly cool, with just a tinge of a metallic edge, surrounded by an ever so light musky, woody accord. It is minimalist in character, though far from generic or boring, and to call it 'violet musk' would not be inaccurate. It is both light and expansive; it is one of those fragrance that creates a soft aura around the wearer, and others will often smell it when you think it is not present. It is beautiful to wear in the spring.

If you’re looking for something that will complete your retro outfit, see if you can get your hands on a bottle of Quadrille. Lauded for its solidly-balanced scent and incredible longevity, Quadrille is a classic that starts with plum, peach, and lemon. Then Rosabotanica – in an equally striking contemporary bottle, again with Kristen Stewart as its ‘guardian angel’ – was unveiled: ‘the second flower in Balenciaga‘s magical garden’, taking florals into positively futuristic territory with this: ‘an enchanted spicy vegetal rose, lightened up by drops of green and milky fig leaves, with an “experimental” rose accord.’ And Balenciaga B: a green fragrance with a dark, woody flair, touched by notes of lily and green leaves and in a bottle inspired by the marble flooring of Balenciaga’s original Parisian salon. Fragrance and Balenciaga were always inextricably linked, in women’s hearts. Balenciaga Le Dix was one of the most acclaimed fragrances of its time, created by Francis Fabron (who also made L’Air du Temps). There was elegant and mysterious Quadrille, and La Fuite des Heures: each of them a final couture‘touch’, for Balenciaga clients who wore the real thing – and for those around the world who could only dream of doing so. As Ghesquière commented at the time, ‘We really put ourselves in the shoes of biologists discovering enigmatic plants whose secret we wanted to uncover. And take samples of the flowers for our research. We created a bottle that would express the whole scientific technique, clean lines and play on mirrors like those slides you find in laboratories.’ And Florabotanica went on to win a 2013 Fragrance Foundation Award for Fragrance of the Year.

Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Opening the scent is a head note of delicate violet. Next a middle note of carnations takes the lead. The fragrance climaxes with a base of erotic patchouli and cedar. The mingling of notes in this eau de parfum is sure to please those with a floral signature. This fragrance belongs to the powdery olfactory group, which is demonstrated in the warm and soft result. Bottles for all Needs at an Average Price Cristóbal Balenciaga was born in the Basque region of Spain, and had the choice or becoming a fisherman like his father, or a priest like his uncle. But Cristóbal wasn’t having any of that: he desired to work with clothing, in the footsteps of his dressmaker mother. Completely self-taught, he opened his salon – Balenciaga y Compañía – in 1918, and almost from the word go royalty and aristocrats were beating a beautifully-shod path to his door. Look for an introduction to tender violet, aldehydes, and coriander. Diverse middle notes include lily-of-the-valley, sweet rose, and lilac. The dry down is timeless, an upbeat vintage mix of sandalwood, Peru balsam, and musk. It says everything about couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga that Christian Dior himself once commented: ‘ Haute couture is like an orchestra, whose conductor is Balenciaga. We other couturiers are the musicians and we follow the directions he gives.’The nose behind Le Dix is Francis Fabron, and it is a classically strong perfume that speaks to its era. This Balenciaga perfume price is high like other vintage scents like Chanel No. 5. So far I have not encountered a violet perfume that satisfies my basic violet itch as well as this one does. It is also approachable, easy to wear, office friendly, and while there's an elegance to it, it can also be worn with jeans and a t-shirt. It may actually be the perfect violet soliflore.

Founder Cristóbal Balenciaga opened his first boutique in Spain in 1918, but it was forced to close at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. So he relocated to Paris – and his loyal customers braved the difficult journey just to see his work. Today, his visionary genius lives on in the House that still bears his name, with Creative Director Demna Gvasalia filling each collection with the avant-garde shapes that set Balenciaga clothing apart. Boxy cotton T-shirts, baggy jeans and oversized hoodies bring stand-out profiles to our selection of favourites. Look out for the brand moniker embroidered on cuffs, splashed across shirts and even etched into the glimmering gold frames of sunglasses. This scent is rounded out with outdoorsy, fresh notes of moss, cloves, and cardamom, with a dry down of absolutely classic musk.
