The bewitching fragrance of Mon Paris Star Edition
This emblematic juice has survived the ages. Also, this longevity is undoubtedly the result of its very elaborate development, both architectural and classic but also endowed with an extreme creative genius.
Mr. Balmain's story
Although Mr. Balmain was officially born in 1964, its history is older. Indeed, it began in 1947 when Pierre Balmain decided to make a perfume inspired by classic Eaux de Cologne. He simply replaced the citrus flavor typical of this juice with the sweetness of verbena, greener, aromatic and citrus. Pierre Balmain then decided to first name his juice "Verveine Citronelle". Very quickly, he succeeded in conquering the hearts of the men of his time. In addition, the latter seemed to particularly appreciate its elegance and dynamism. Moreover, the story goes that even Marcel Rochas was a fervent admirer of this perfume. Also, it was not until 1964 that this fragrance was renamed Monsieur Balmain, making for the occasion echoed her female counterpart named Jolie Madame. A true benchmark in perfumery, this juice is famous for its elegant relaxation and its dashing and fresh naturalness. The harmony of its flavors have made it over the years an emblematic juice, sewn of authenticity and discretion.
The cult flavor of Maison Balmain
To achieve this essence, the Balmain house collaborated with the perfumer Germaine Cellier. She chose to start her juice with the freshness of verbena. Thus, this green and aromatic plant rounds off the ardor of citrus fruits. Indeed, many are present in the top notes of this perfume. In addition, Monsieur Balmain contains lemongrass, bigarade, lemon, bergamot, petitgrain and orange. What's more, as if this freshness wasn't enough, the whole thing is still completed by a mint accord. Then, a romantic rose is revealed in its heart. This emblematic flower of perfumery is here accompanied by thyme, rosemary and sage. Likewise, spices give even more character to Mr. Balmain. The latter are particularly dominated by pepper, ginger and nutmeg. The whole warms up little by little until it reaches a more woody and musky trail made from sandalwood, vetiver and oak moss. Since 2012, it should be noted that Mr. Balmain is no longer presented in its original bottle. It now adopts a more cubic and modern style. This one has sharp edges and sharp angles. On the other hand, even if it has been readjusted very recently, it echoes the first bottle of the house of Balmain from the 1940s. It now adopts a more cubic and modern style.
