Back in 80's the hair were big, the shoulderpads were big, and the perfumes were bold and strong, like this darling Balahe. This scent is deep and dark like black velvet, oriental, mysterious and warm. As a teenager I was using this often. I wouldn't use this anymore as for me this connects so strongly to 80's.

Chat Lunatique described this scent very well. I just happen not to like it. It's a bit on the heavy side, and it does have the vintage air about it. I find it spicy and a bit boring, as it smells very similar to many other older fragrances.

I disagree that it is anything like Raffinee, first of all. I really like Balahe, and Raffinee is a scrubber for me.

Oddly, with its gentle plum note and its powdery dry down, it reminds me very much of Chant d'Aromes (a chypre!)! I have had the pleasure of comparing the two side by side, and Balahe is, in fact, like the Oriental sister-scent of Chant d'Aromes.

It's a super complex scent, but another one, sadly, I would have to advise non-vintage appreciators to steer clear of. The opening is slightly challenging, and bitter, especially. But its dry down is warm, and deep.. and very comforting.

My all time favourite perfume. Subtle, elegant, long lasting, sexy and unique. I remember when I first smelled it, I was very unsure of the top notes, but it settles into pure glory. Always hard to find where I live (Australia)its rarity adds to its preciousness.

This is a very soft, yet oriental fragrance with a creamy texture, therefore it is no extreme oriental, but an acceptable version of a vanilla-spice perfume from top to bottom, yet a bit "retro" - i. e. reminiscent of the 80's. An evening fragrance - you certainly don't go shopping for meat and bacon wearing this.

I did use this sometime in my teens, little different and intresting scent, maybe towards more to the chyprefamily. Odly I can't remember how this excatly smell? Maybe need to get small bottle of it, just for old times sake.
