This girl is a gift for well-behaved men. The one who bursts into a party and suddenly makes you want to believe in Father Christmas. Half way between a flirtatious temptress and a dancing queen, temperature rises just by her presence. To hell with “global warming” She’s here to have fun, no matter what. Heavenly lightness in December…
Sweet honey notes at the start lie on a vanilla-tangerine accord and all at once life becomes as captivating as the fullness of her décolleté. It’s soft and warm, notes swirl and dance, and the world starts spinning, like a faceted mirror ball, marvel of all marvels. In the heart, red pepper mingles with nigella in a detonating cocktail of scents. Hot red lips adorn a lavishly extraverted smile. Breathtaking!
The slightly musky, solar accord of the base tells the radiant warmness of her skin under her laughing throat. She calls for her after-midnight man, the one who will abduct her under the Xmas tree. And who will jealously sweep her off her feet and into his room, like a child would with his most precious present.
Composition: Tangerine, vanilla, honey, orange blossom, apricot, red pepper, patchouli, musk, cistus, cinnamon, nigella...
Nose for this fragrance is Antoine Maisondieu. Noel au Balcon was launched in 2007.

This is a beautiful fragrance and very long-lasting. I can still smell it after taking a shower. It is sweet but if you hold the bottle about 5 inches away when you spray it, it will smell less sweet. I love wearing this in the winter.
IT'S SO NAUSEANT !Heavy smell of honey + latex....
Noël au Balcon is one of the most uniquely beautiful fragrances from one of the most unique houses.
This fragrance is all about contrast...the concept of sweet and spicy working together to create something beyond each individual note.
Initially NaB is all about syrupy honey and a warm yet gentle cinnamon note. A subtle juiciness comes through from the orange.
Then along comes the chilli pepper, blasting onto the scene in a dramatic and startling entrance, cutting through the sweetness and spicing up the entire composition.
The dry down is a spicy honeyed vanilla, which lingers on skin all evening long.
I don't find NaB particularly sexy, but instead it's a homely comfort fragrance that is great during the bitter cold of the winter months.
When I wear this it really does conjure up the images of a "warm Christmas" as the name suggests, sitting in front of a cozy hearth where stockings hang, with this comforting scent settled all around in a fragrant cloud.
A little strange as a perfume, but hauntingly beautiful.
First of all I want to thank Martika for offering me a sample of Noel au Balcon,I was so eager to try it!The initial spray is a blast of honey!Rich warm honey,tamed by cinnamon. I must confess that I needed more cinnamon in it.I don't smell anything else,honey,cinnamon which after a couple of seconds becomes creamier more 'vanillic'.It's a nice honey scent,not too sweet or cloying,it has a normal level of sweetness. Although I wish it lasted more than 20 minutes on my skin.After half an hour strong honey is gone,cinnamon too,and there's only left a very soft powdery trail of honey.Lasting power is very bad on me,I could hardly smell it after an hour.Overall,it is an interesting scent if you like honey.
I remember a few years ago when Etat fragrances were unavailable where I lived, I dreamed of getting this one unsniffed. The notes look mouthwatering, and I am a sucker for sweet/spicy fragrances. I got a sample some time ago, and I am thinking... Is this really something I would love to have?
To start off, it is very sweet. Perhaps even horribly sweet. There is a lot of honey and apricot jam here and loads of cinnamon and orange blossom. You can tell from the first sniff. It is not a girly type of sweetness, nevertheless, it can be quite cloying. There is also an interesting note here that I could not identify before looking at the notes: clover. Clover is not a note that I see in perfume very often, shame, because adds here an interesting twist- slightly herbal, spring-fresh, but still quite sweet. So all in all, quite peasant, but I would like something to break this sweetness.
I would not say it makes me think of Christmas in particular, but it is a good fragrance for cold evenings.
Delicious in the bottle, warm, spicy, and inviting, devastatingly incompatible with my body chemistry...turns to skank sweat on me in <10 minutes. Smells delicious on others, however, I think I will give this to someone who can properly carry it off.
Out of all the strangeness of Etat Libre this one smells quite good actually. I'm not so thrilled anyway. It smells attractive, fresh and spicy at first, then only spicy and feminine. I can't smell honey, fruit and many other listed notes. It smells only ginger spicey on a vanillic base. Not abd, not worthy a bottle.
