A new fragrance just made for springtime is in stores now. From the haute couture House of Balenciaga comes Balenciaga Paris, described poetically in press materials: "Immediately, the demure violet note makes us think that Balenciaga Paris is a light fragrance, as pleasant as sunshine. In Balenciaga Paris, we find the first moments of April, floral breezes and blossoms from milder days. A spring-like feel: airy dresses and fleeting glances. A bouquet of violets also has an old-fashioned tone, the antique charm of a few dried petals that we find between the pages of a book by Colette, traces of memories, the work of art so fine that is the past... But soon, a peppery note reveals itself and swells over calm, mossy wood. Foliage that breathes in the secret hours of night. Then, another more nocturnal facet of nature expresses itself. A sensuality becomes clearer. The shadowy color of the liquid within already says something of its mystery. It is a fragrance full of light with a few dark apertures. Balenciaga Paris is a lovely paradox. It is a fragrance that becomes life: that melds with living. Balenciaga Paris offers itself and guards itself... Wear Balenciaga Paris and become a close yet inaccessible woman who strolls under leafy arbors...
Well, who doesn't want all that? And I just love the bottle and cap.
Balenciaga Paris eau de parfum spray retails from $95, and the fragrance is available in shower gel and body lotion, too.
