When was Monsieur Balmain by Pierre Balmain released?
Monsieur Balmain by Pierre Balmain was released in 1990.
I have an older mini of this (sort of?) which is apparently from the 60's but I'm not entirely sure? It's called Eau de Monseiur Balmain and it's absolutely stunning. The opening is a powdery lemon which could be considered confectionery like, sweet, perhaps a little sherbet lemon fizz and mine is undoubtedly old but the citruses are holding up fantastically well. There's green aspects of citrus, petitgrain and a warm underbelly, which still manages to be fresh and crucially not fougere, infact it's more EDC or Chypre territory. Then some of the most authentic oakmoss in the drydown, I mean an oakmoss lovers dream. Clearly this is a later release but the origins of this fragrance are in something truly lovely.
