Olivier Polge

"Balenciaga is a refined chypre-floral fragrance introduced in 2010 for women. Its opening combines bright bergamot and mandarin with the warm aromatic lift of cardamom. The heart is floral and powdery, built around iris, tuberose, violet, and jasmine. Amber, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk create a soft, warm, and gently sensual foundation. The overall character is luminous, sophisticated, and artistic rather than overtly sweet or dramatic. Its understated presence gives it a modern yet classic impression, although performance may feel quiet to some wearers."
