This is the other actually New, New one from Balmain. Bronze is immediately in a similar vein to Ebene and Sel d'ambre in that it's a spicy, woody, resinous driven perfume and I can only equate this to being a sort of thread the perfumer/perfumers who've jazzied up (who is that BTW?) this line have included to tie together some disparate vintage faves with new fangled releases. That's what impressed me about the core of this collection, not the individual fragrances themselves, or indeed the distinctive branding and definitely NOT the high price it's the collective cohesion I like. Anyway, Bronze to me has a dominant hay note which comes over as more than a little honied, heavy, woolen, waxy almost animalic, like some opaque honey you'd get direct from a beekeeper. Although we consider that sweet it's a great juxtapositon to the rest of the stuff here which again is a sort of peppery, cedarwood, spicy patchouli amalgam. I like this perfume to smell it, not especially to wear but I will update this review once I've worn it again, because I think it deserves more thought.
