Ivoire

Ivoire, a Refined Green Floral

Balmain Ivoire is a refined green floral. Our version keeps that feel, opening with gardenia, rose, and jasmine before an orris, violet, and amber heart settles over musk, cedar, and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Balmain built Ivoire as a green, sophisticated floral, all crisp flowers and powdery orris over smooth woods. The idea was a refined, timeless elegance.

That refined greenness is its appeal. The gardenia and jasmine give it a fresh floral lift, the orris and violet add a powdery softness, and the musk and cedar keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same sophisticated path.
