From Balmain:
"Monsieur Balmain embodies all the subtle male elegance in a fresh fragrance, memorable and timeless. From the beginning, sublimated by the citrus and fresh spices, the Verbena emerges, signing the perfume with its fusing energy. The magnetic heart contributes to play with our senses, revealing audacious aromatic, green and crunchy tones. As for the drydown, it owes its unforgettable signature to the woody vibrations of the Cedarwood and to the intensity of the musky ambery notes."
