Ivoire (EDP)

"Ivoire is a green floral chypre fragrance that reinterprets Balmain's original 1979 Ivoire for a contemporary audience. Its opening is crisp and vivid, combining galbanum, violet leaf, and mandarin orange. The heart introduces iris, rose, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, creating a refined floral and softly powdery character. Vetiver, cedar, patchouli, and vanilla form an earthy, woody, and gently sweet foundation. The 2012 composition is cleaner, sharper, and more transparent than the original while retaining its elegant green-chypre identity. Overall, it presents a sophisticated and distinctive style suited to confident everyday wear and polished occasions."
