MC International Perfume Award 2011

The Balenciaga Balenciaga Balenciaga Award for Best Women's Perfume 2011 is awarded .

Since his arrival ten years ago in the Balenciaga house, Nicolas Ghesquière has been caressing the idea of ​​a perfume "that one discovers having the impression of having always known". The perfumer Olivier Polge fulfilled his wish by weaving for him a chiquissime scent. Balenciaga Paris looks like a classic but does not look like any other. It evokes the elegance of a bouquet of violets transcended by a peppered touch, patinated by leather accents then caressed with powder, musks and wood. Its bottle, inspired by the Cape dress, is encased on a slightly asymmetrical base, as if made by a glass blower. It is surmounted by an ivory "egg" cap, homage to the silhouette of the same name. To incarnate this emblematic fragrance, Nicolas Ghesquière has appealed to his muse and faithful friend Charlotte Gainsbourg. This ultra-feminine and refined universe, worthy of the famous perfumes of the Balenciaga of yesterday like Le Dix, has seduced all MC's editorial, beyond the borders.
