BALMAIN BEAUTY – BLANC GALAXIE EAU DE PARFUM
Balmain announces today the launch of Blanc Galaxie, an energizing, all-gender citrus aromatic eau de parfum. Bringing new energy by way of the March Lunar Eclipse when the darkness reveals new light, Blanc Galaxie stars the bright power of cédrat, ignited by myrtle’s aromatic richness. It is the ninth fragrance to join the Les Éternels de Balmain fragrance collection. [PARA] From the citrus aromatic olfactive family, Blanc Galaxie is an alignment of five citruses, evoking the brilliance of an eclipse of light. Lemony Buddha’s hand and refreshing bergamot create a burst of citrus vitality on the skin, embraced by creamy magnolia and spiced with a twist of cardamom. A halo of new energy forms as its hopeful light culminates in a long-lasting musky patchouli finale. Cédrat, vert de mandarine, and lime complete the five citruses. [PARA] In its cosmic white color, the Blanc Galaxie bottle draws inspiration from Balmain’s first flacon created in 1946, Élysées 64-83, a masterpiece of simplicity and timelessness. It retains the unique striated collar and 90-degree angle label while adding dimension to the new lozenge shape with a signature rayure Balmain and PB monogram, extracted from the iconic 1970 brand labyrinth motif.
BALMAIN BEAUTY – CUIR ÉLYSÉES EAU DE PARFUM

[PARA] As layers merge, sandalwood leaves a creamy signature trail. A vivid fuchsia color, the Cuir Élysées bottle takes inspiration from the original design of the 1946 Balmain Élysées 64-83. It retains the unique striated gilded collar and angled label, while adding dimension to the new lozenge shape with the signature rayure Balmain and PB monogram.
Diptyque – Lazulio Eau de Parfum
Lazulio, inspired by the peacock feather. An invitation to discover the elegance and majesty of this iconic natural wonder, interpreted now in an olfactory composition created by perfumer Quentin Bisch. [PARA] The name Lazulio echoes the profound crystalline beauty of lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone in blueish hues ranging from the mysterious to the luminous-much like the mesmerising splendour of the peacock feather. Lively, tangy rhubarb blends harmoniously with creamy, balsamy facets of benzoin, adding an enveloping, addictive dimension to the composition. [PARA] The harmony is enriched by vetiver from Haiti, with its vibrant shadings of wood and citrus. Meanwhile, a delicate touch of rose gives the ensemble an elegant lift.
Escentric Molecules – Escentric 02 Extrait de Parfum
Escentric Molecules takes its radical minimalism to the next level with the launch of Escentric 02 Extrait de Parfum – a high-concentration reinterpretation of its cult favourite, Escentric 02. For the first time, the fragrance comes housed with a luxurious anodised aluminium cap, marking a bold evolution in both form and formulation. [PARA] At 30% concentration, Escentric 02 Extrait de Parfum is the most potent expression of the iconic formula yet. Built around a maximal dose of Ambroxan – perfume’s most coveted amber-like aroma-molecule – it intensifies the mineral, clean warmth that made the original a phenomenon. This is Ambroxan unchained: luminous, velvety, and skin-sensual. [PARA] The signature fizz of the original remains, only now dialled up to exhilarating heights. Green jasmine bud lends a whisper of floral intrigue, while a dry, herbal note of Almdudler adds unexpected dimension. The effect is a crisp, ‘gin and tonic’ freshness at the top, softening into a radiant trail of mineral warmth and light.

Penhaligons – Fortuitous Finley
SALTED PISTACHIO.
Originally cultivated in hot climates of the Middle East, East Asia and the Mediterranean, the pistachio is one of the oldest nut trees. As addictive as it is unusual, salted pistachio adds both creamy and green qualities to a scent. Its gourmand nature makes a fragrance a little sweeter, but this is offset by the darker, leather-like note of Saffiano. [PARA] VIOLET LEAF.
Violet leaf is a unique note in perfumery, often associated with a fresh, green, and slightly earthy aroma that carries an air of elegance. It wasn’t until the Renaissance and Victorian periods when it became a staple in the world of perfumery with the petals being ground. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to harvest the scent of a violet from its petals, and perfumers now use the leaf to capture its sweet, fresh facets. [PARA] LEATHER.
Long has leather been used in perfumery to add richness, depth and warmth to a scent. In Fortuitous Finley, it is the synthetic note of Saffiano™ that lends the fragrance this leather-like sensuality, evoking the tough yet supple character of a worn leather jacket or broken in saddle.
TOM FORD – Rose Exposed Eau de Parfum
A rose that bares it all. Rose Exposed is a flash of the flower at its peak—the image of a pristine beauty with a wild side, wrapped in supple leather.

[PARA] Luminous rose essence, picked early in the morning to prevent petals from wilting in the sunlight, exudes a rich warmth tinged with golden honey facets. [PARA] White pepper and pink peppercorn extracts add a spicy vitality to the fragrance’s supple floralcy, which is brilliantly contrasted with essences of cypress, bergamot and curcuma extract. [PARA] Rose Exposed’s seductive shadow is deepened with a tactile black leather accord, sandalwood essence, enveloping olibanum and the scent of cashmeran.
Juliette has a gun – Miami Shake
Her pink villa is the stage for her fantasies. She follows her own rules, and only hers. Red hair and big bows don’t care, rollerblading in the villa and all-day dessert are a must.

Her edible fragrance, swirling around her dress like a fruity cloud. Miami Shake truly takes the cake!
