About
Noel au Balcon by Etat Libre d'Orange is a Oriental fragrance for women. Noel au Balcon was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Antoine Maisondieu. Top notes are Honey, Apricot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Cinnamon, Orange Blossom and Chili Pepper; base notes are Vanilla, Caraway, Black Clover, Labdanum, Musk and Patchouli. This girl is a gift for well-behaved men. The one who bursts into a party and suddenly makes you want to believe in Father Christmas. Half way between a flirtatious temptress and a dancing queen, temperature rises just by her presence. To hell with “global warming” She’s here to have fun, no matter what. Heavenly lightness in December…Sweet honey notes at the start lie on a vanilla-tangerine accord and all at once life becomes as captivating as the fullness of her décolleté. It’s soft and warm, notes swirl and dance, and the world starts spinning, like a faceted mirror ball, marvel of all marvels. In the heart, red pepper mingles with nigella in a detonating cocktail of scents. Hot red lips adorn a lavishly extraverted smile. Breathtaking! The slightly musky, solar accord of the base tells the radiant warmness of her skin under her laughing throat. She calls for her after-midnight man, the one who will abduct her under the Xmas tree. And who will jealously sweep her off her feet and into his room, like a child would with his most precious present. Composition: Tangerine, vanilla, honey, orange blossom, apricot, red pepper, patchouli, musk, cistus, cinnamon, nigella...Nose for this fragrance is Antoine Maisondieu.
