Inspired by Balenciaga Pour Homme
Balenciaga Pour Homme
Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
Gérard Anthony, one of the perfumers behind Azzaro pour Homme, composed it for Balenciaga in 1990. Spiced and mossy, it is now sought by collectors as one of the great men's fragrances of its decade. Balenciaga withdrew it in the 2000s, before the house's fragrances were relaunched in 2010, and unsold 1990s bottles now sell at collector prices.
Coriander, cinnamon and bergamot open warm and spiced, with the citrus keeping it lively and bright. Patchouli, cedar and cypress give the heart a dry, resinous, forest-floor depth. Oakmoss, amber and honey settle into the base, sweet and dark at once, and it stays rich and warm on the skin for hours.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 13 to 18 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrance will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
Maceration
Perfume is not finished when it is bottled. The materials keep marrying, the alcohol edge drops away and the base knits together, and the fragrance genuinely changes while that happens. That resting period is called maceration.
Every bottle we send carries a Ready From date on it. That is ten days after the day yours was made, and it is the point we are happy for you to wear it. Treat it as a floor rather than a target. Perfume keeps improving well past that date, so the longer you leave it, the better it gets.
