Balmain is a French fashion house founded in 1945 in Paris by designer Pierre Balmain. In the years after the war, his deeply feminine designs with nipped-in silhouettes, bell skirts and lavish evening gowns, known as the "Jolie Madame" style, won over Parisian women, royalty and Hollywood stars. Today the brand is known for its glamorous, bold and instantly recognizable style.

The brand's first perfume, Elysées 64-83, was released in 1945 and named after the fashion house's telephone number. In 1947 came the green Vent Vert, created by the legendary perfumer Germaine Cellier, which remains a classic of perfumery to this day. Jolie Madame and Ivoire followed.

Balmain perfumes combine Parisian elegance with a modern character and are a real treat for lovers of the classics.
