Perfumers
"Ivoire de Balmain is a classic women’s chypre-floral fragrance launched around 1980. Its character is defined by a sharply green and aldehydic opening with aromatic herbs, citrus, and galbanum. The heart develops into a complex floral composition supported by iris, carnation, narcissus, rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. A mossy, woody base of oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, incense, and labdanum gives the fragrance its traditional chypre structure. Spices, resins, musk, tonka bean, amber, and vanilla add warmth and depth without removing its dry, tailored feel. Ivoire is especially associated with vintage perfumery, complexity, and a powerful green floral signature."
