I'm testing a group of Balmain scents at the moment, and Chypre Floral is one of my favorite scent categories, so any fragrance from this group deserves a good try.

Sadly, this was the only Balmain I've tried so far that didn't work for me. Balmain de Balmain smelled lovely in the bottle, but ended up being very sharp and sour on my skin, with a touch of something that irritated my nose.

I noticed the scent evolving over time and revealing its layers, but even the heart and base notes continued to smell unpleasant on me. I'm sure it's just not compatible with my chemistry and would be lovely on the right man or woman. (I agree with the previous reviews that suggest it is unisex.)

This is a good one to sample before purchasing a bottle.

Beautiful elegant chypre, with bright woody notes. It is a pity, I did not know it earlier. I think, now it would be suitable for men.

I'd just add to my review of Balmain perfume below that I think the classification of this perfume is misleading and to me it seems to be more of a woody type of perfume, definitely not a floral/fruity one! I was expecting Balmain to be fresher and slightly sweeter smelling than it is, although it's quite pleasant smelling anyway but just not necessarily right for me.

This is decidedly masculine smelling to me. I ordered it over the internet without having smelled it first because I read good reviews about it and it was a bargain price. Although I find the scent quite pleasant it starts out quite masculine smelling and doesn't evolve (on me anyway) into anything more feminine, yet based on reviews I had read I thought the more feminine notes would start to come through after awhile. I don't smell any iris, jasmine or rose in it at all, just the heavier, smokier notes, although they're not harsh but quite soft notes. In my view this scent would work much better on a man than a woman, so I can recommend it for a man or for a woman who doesn't mind wearing masculine smelling scents!!

I'd like to say: it's elegant, green chypre. First time I bought it in 2001 and it became my favorit so far.
