The Story

Balenciaga Paris by Balenciaga is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Balenciaga Paris was launched in 2010. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Polge. The fragrance features Violet, Violet Leaf, Virginia Cedar, Carnation and Patchouli. Balenciaga Paris is a new fragrance by the house of Balenciaga and it was launched as the first fragrance after starting partnership with Coty, in 2008. Designer of Balenciaga - Nicolas Ghesquiere worked on developing the new fragrance and was meticulous about every detail of Balenciaga Paris edition. Perfumer who created this composition is Olivier Polge of IFF. Balenciaga Paris is not a romantic floral fragrance, but created with a dose of the urban and the traditional with nuances of metal effects. Its composition is characterized as a chypre floral with accentuated violet. The effect it leaves is not powdery as it usually does in other compositions, but violet leaves are put in the front plan so the fragrance receives light, fresh and natural nuances. Olivier Polge integrates redistilled wood such as cedar and patchouli. Floral essences are represented by carnation and violet. Flacon is made of transparent glass body, shaped like beans and decorated with a stopper which reminds of old vases from the 18th century. The designer's wish was to give character to these fragrance and flacon, so he believed that head, neck and stable body would make appropriate design. Fragrance Balenciaga Paris is available as 30, 50 and 75ml EDP, along with 200 ml perfumed bath and 200 ml body lotion. Advertising face and muse of the creator is Charlotte Gainsbourg, known from other advertising billboards by the house of Balenciaga. Photographer of the campaign is Steven Meisel.

Olivier Polge portrait
My father taught me that a Chanel perfume must have a certain allure — you must want to lean closer.

Olivier Polge succeeded his father Jacques as the in-house perfumer-creator at Chanel in 2013, becoming only the fourth person to hold this role in the house's history. The weight of that inheritance would paralyze most perfumers, but Polge has carried it with grace and creative courage. His contributions to Chanel — including Gabrielle, No. 5 L'Eau, and the Les Exclusifs range — honor the house's DNA while introducing a lighter, more contemporary sensibility. He is also celebrated for his work before Chanel, including Viktor & Rolf's Spicebomb.
