ÿþVery incensey and almost creamy. A few balenciaga slides drops from my vintage miniature and it's unquestioningly the boss of me. I'm almost reminded of Salvador Dalí pour homme, but Balenciaga is much easier to live with. I'm not sure where, exactly, I should wear this, but give me time. It's happening. This is a fragrance that I wasn't familiar with the first time around and what a crime that was because it's an absolute triumph. Really this stuff is superb, masculine even a little butch but not a powerhouse in the obnoxious sense. The opening is chunky, rounded and heavily spiced affair of coriander and pepper with an immediately mossy, herbal, woody feel. I get a big musk note too, potent but dying back quite quickly.

The chunkiness I mentioned soon becomes apparent the creamy, spice of sandalwood and the main player patchouli which doesn't hit you straight in the face but builds steadily in the background. It's starts as an almost gourmand, cocoa type thing, steadily becoming more earthy but never overstepping the mark. I'm not overstating this but Balenciaga pour Homme might be one of the best patchouli fragrances for men that I've ever tried. To say that it's just a Patchouli fragrance is to balenciaga sandals do it a bit of a disservice, because it's a great blend of notes and even non patchouli fans would like it I'm sure. Such a shame this stuff is no longer in production because it's excellent. Finally got my 100ml bottle, almost two months waiting... however has no atomizer, only the cap... does anyone know is this the usual presentation?

The result is a superb oriental scent balenciaga trainers for men, with definitely some resemblances with "Kouros" by YSL. Longevity and sillage both very high. The mix of citrus with oud make it a very uncommon type of perfume, still an excellent one. This is an example of "modernism" in perfumery. Mandatory for all open-mind fragrance lovers. Do you know the word "mesmerizing"? Balenciaga pour Homme got me completely. It has top notes that reveal citruses, incense with a soft spicy touch these lead to the Warm and Mossy base notes ruled by Amber, Okamoss and Vetiver as it has a lot of hidden notes that seems to come out at different stages. a sort of Kaleidoscope scent. Being strong, almost overpowering, BpH is a must try. Heaven in a Bottle. Sillage? Enormous Longevity? Endless. In a word? Mesmerizing.

Balenciaga is the finest usage of artemisia balenciaga speed trainers I have ever encountered in any fragrance, male or female, and it smells divine. There are truly magnificent, sweeping, broad-brush accords in this fragrance, from the fresh bergamot-lavender top, to the coriander-patchouli earthiness in the heart, to the sacred temple of incense, inexplicably (but successfully) hooked to a discreet tonka-vanillic sandalwood base, making this a near-perfect structure. What's more, it all fits together with loving attention to fine detail. Despite its full-bodied feel, Balenciaga is elegant, classy, fresh, yet dense, with an outdoorsy finesse reminiscent of Yatagan, Caron's famous wormwood chypre, but with more tension thanks to that lovely sweet ambery base.

Ghesquière's initial position at Balenciaga was so tenuous that he hedged his bets by also designing two Italian collections Trussardi, then Callaghan until 2001. By then Konckier had decided to sell and wanted Ghesquière to sign a five-year contract (the business would have been worth more with its star designer), only to discover the deal he'd done with Gucci. "They got a good price from Gucci, but they were so unhappy with what I'd done that they tortured me, " Ghesquière said. "They even sent a letter to my family. " Then he fell out with Ford and De Sole. He wasn't happy with Gucci's production of Balenciaga's clothing or the bags. He didn't like the location of the first store they chose for him in New York, although De Sole immediately invited him to choose another site. "Looking back, I just didn't understand their position, but I reacted very violently, and not in a good way.

His fascination with certain simple forms (the manipulation of circles, semicircles, and tunics) may well have derived from familiarity with the cut of the ecclesiastical vestments and clerical dress so common in Spain. His use of certain colors (black, shades of gray, earth colors, brilliant reds, fuchsia, and purple), certain forms balenciaga sneakers womens of decoration (heavy embroidery and braid), and certain fabrics (lace used voluptuously in flounces and heavy woolens or new synthetics "sculpted" into extraordinary shapes) owed much to the aesthetic of Spanish regional dress and to the drapery and costume depicted in Spanish painting and sculpture from 1500 to 1900. His early working experience in San Sebastián alerted him to the dominance of Paris in international women's fashion, as one of his responsibilities was to travel to the center of couture to the seasonal collections, to make drawings of models that might subsequently be translated into garments for Spanish clients.
