I decided, even fila disruptor 2 womens though it is a crowd pleaser, my fragrance must first please me, so the last person who payed me a compliment, was the lucky recepient of an 80% full bottle of Balenciaga Paris. I2 m happy she enjoyed it.A friend gave me what was left of a 5 ml mini so that I could sample it. It wasn't a great experience for me personally, but that doesn't mean others won't enjoy it. The issue with me is I don't believe in the notion of "modern chypres" as in my opinion, if there's no oakmaoss, it's not a real chypre, so make a new category. The other issue for me is that any scents that have 'aquatic" or "ozonic" notes never work for me and this one has both.

There's just enough carnation to add a little spice...a little curiosity about her. The powder typically associated with violet is not nearly enough to lure you into comfort. It's not a soothing composition. Wearing lounge wear is fila slides out of the question. The appeal is in the poise, the bearing. You'll get hours of wear, make sure you are up to the challenge. Keep your head up and back straight. You are in the presence of a lady.Fragrance Review For Paris Balenciaga Notes: Violet Leaves Violet Carnation Patchouli Cedar What a different animal than fila australia Yves Saint Laurent's Paris which a radical flower bomb detonating every time you spray it.

This is a soft floral whisper, a sweet and delicate scent of violet and woods. Even though they don't smell anything alike it has that lightness almost aquatic feel as Waterford Lismore. The opening was a carnation. It's more of a violet as the violet and it's shrub leaves become more pronounced with a green and watery freshness. If there is patchouli here it's asleep. This is a subdued patchouli and more of a cedar wood. One touch of wood. Very simple. Easy to wear, inoffensive, subtle, and enjoyable in spring and summer weather. It's the kind fila sliders of baby you can take with you anywhere because this baby doesn't make a sound.

It won't cry. It won't scream and it won't throw out enormous sillage. It doesn't really remind me of Paris which is very smelly in a good way but this is not bad either.It is pretty, and it is floral, but is not just another pretty floral. Violet is a most interesting floral note to capture; naturally sweet with that metallic tang underscored by clean musk. That is what makes up Balenciaga Paris to me. No creaminess and no vanilla to winterize it; this is fresh for springtime. I received it in a swap about a year ago and at that time considered it pretty bland but nice enough for warm weather.

Edit... slightly warmer day today... can't believe the mandarin I'm smelling today??! I love it even more today. Need to find a way to get a bottle of this marvellous creation!Typical example of what is called "olfative McGuffin". Just nothingness in a flacon. Also, it is another conspicuous example of what is wrong today in all designer's perfumes. Take the name of a great designer, long time deceased. A beautiful flacon, reminiscent of the past. Beautiful, although somewhat gaunty-minimalistic- looking-modern publicity. And then, the juice. Oh, the juice, we haven't thought about it.

A very, very mild and weak floral-woody scent. Too soft, too fleeting. Slightly violet, slightly fila white shoes carnation. A faint laundry musk. And that is all. A safe thing, anoter crowd pleaser, marketed to young, fashionable women. And it is exactly the same with all the other new Balenciaga perfumes. Not really such bad, but not woth of Balenciaga's name (or the price tag). And, in the meanwhile, what has happened with all the beautiful classic range of Balenciaga? Michelle? Le Dix? Ho Hang? Where are they now..? Better, they should have spent efforts, money and time in relaunch all these wonders, instead of another boring, banal scent that nobody is going to remember in ten years.
