Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Balmain in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.

The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Balmain fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.

However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Balmain perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Balmain brand might see it.

Ambre Gris by Balmain c2008

Ambre Gris by Balmain: launched in 2008. Created by Guillaume Flavigny.




From Balmain:
"The fragrance is a tribute to the eponymous material, as rare and precious as the Balmain woman. Ambre Gris is a perfume of character. From the beginning, the heat of the spices gives the tempo then becomes milder by the sensual caresses of the tuberose. The drydown owes its unique oriental signature to the elegant alchemy of the most beautiful raw materials: myrrh, benzoin, opoponax, tonka bean, incense. They make the sensuality of amber peak and make the fragrance unforgettable."


So what does it smell like? It is a powdery, amber perfume for women.

  • Top notes:  cinnamon, pink pepper, pink berries, sage
  • Middle notes: immortal flower, tuberose, frangipani, incense, myrrh essence
