Wow not the ivoire I remember smells of diesel and rubber what have you done

This scent is not something I would normally go for since I don't really like smokey notes but with the floral smell it worked out really nicely. I like woody scents but the smokey scent with the floral was a pleasant surprise. I think it's best worn at night. I can see myself repurchasing.

I typically gravitate toward sweeter, modern fragrances like Valentino, so this scent was outside my usual preference. I used this perfume in the morning as part of my regular routine, applying it directly to my skin. While it applied like a standard eau de parfum and had good longevity, the scent itself was not enjoyable for me. Balmain Ivoire opens with citrus and green notes such as bergamot, mandarin, and galbanum, followed by a floral heart of jasmine and rose. On my skin, these notes came across very sharp and heavy rather than fresh or elegant. As it dried down, the base notes of patchouli, vetiver, and woody accords became more prominent, giving it a very mature, smoky scent profile. Personally, the fragrance reminded me of something much older and dated, and I also noticed an undertone that smelled similar to an ashtray, which made it unpleasant for me to wear throughout the day. Because of this, I would not recommend this perfume, especially for anyone who prefers lighter, sweeter, or more modern fragrances.

On my skin it smells floral with strong woody notes later on. Lasts around 5 hours on my skin before it's no longer noticeable. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.

I love how long this scent lasts. It's perfect for a long night out. It's not too overpowering and works for any occasion. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.

This scent goes on strong with an overpoweringly smokey scent - I don't love it immediately. As it dries down, the floral scent is able to shine through. After about 30 minutes most of the smokiness fades and the woody and floral notes are able to be detected. My biggest issue is that the fragrance does not last all day - I'd say 5-6 hours max on the skin. It's pleasant if you like the juxtaposition of the smoke and floral, giving you a mix of feminine and masculine and are okay with it being very subtle by the end of the day.

The scent is very good with strong notes of floral with undertones that are more earthy or woody. At application the scent is strong but seems to fade, it does not last all day and would need to be reapplied before any after work plans. Overall it is not something I would purchase for myself or as a gift but it could very well be a good fit for someone else.

I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes, and I am very happy with it. I ended up liking it way more than I expected. The scent feels soft and calm, like fresh flowers with a touch of powder, and it settles into something warm that makes me feel a bit more put together during the day. It isn't loud or heavy, just a gentle trail I catch now and then that makes me smile. I know it smells good and is high quality because halfway through the day I can still smell it and still enjoy it. The tiny spray fits easily in my bag, and I've been reaching for it whenever I want something simple and elegant without trying too hard. I definitely recommend this scent!
