Balenciaga Paris L’Essence Fall Fragrance
I recently sampled L’Essence, the new eau de parfum by Balenciaga and I love the spicy, woodsy and powerful yet feminine scent. It contains all the essential elements of Balenciaga Paris, the iconic fragrance which reconnected with the couture spirit of the fashion house. L’Essence by Balenciaga is similar, concentrated, but different, emphatically different as L’Essence says it all.
It is in the same faceted bottle with simultaneously sharp and soft ribbing. It has a reflective, raw effect, as pure as a sharp-edged jewel, like those dark, sensual necklaces made of hematite, a semi-precious stone from the mists of time, slightly poisonous and highly magnetic.
L’Essence is impulsive and unambiguous. On the skin, L’Essence is as pure as the searing honesty of short-lived flowers. Delicate violet leaves are like a blast of woodland and their youthful energy stimulates the skin. Violet leaves are unfailingly honest and offer up their exquisite coarseness. Vetiver also takes the upper hand, wild, unruly and incisive. L’Essence engages and dazzles with its modulations.
And the secret of the forest asserts itself. L’Essence, is also reminiscent of the mossy scent given off by forests at certain times of day, which emphasises the accent of conifers. It is like the fragrance of leather, but it expresses the intrinsic nobility of the organic world. L’Essence has a keen, intense flirty and sexy scent. L’Essence yields and offers resistance. L’Essence, is also about living intensely.
The essence of the Balenciaga signature fragrance is inspired by the Balenciaga fashion jewels and reflects the high quality and savoir-faire of the brand. The bottle of this leathery violet scent has a reflective, raw effect, as pure as a sharp-edged jewel made of hematite. L’Essence is green because it is honest and vibrant, like the rustle of crumpled leaves. Top notes are violets leaves, pimento berries while mid notes are leathery facets of labdanum and the base is of cedarwood, patchouli, and vetiver. It can be worn day and night. The collection retails:
50ml EDP: $95.00
75ml EDP: $130.00
Scented Candle: $70.00
Balenciaga Paris L’Essence is exclusively available at Neiman Marcus now and at all specialty stores starting in November 2011.
