Femme, 1950:
"Very different and essentially urban, Pierre Balmain's latest creation flourishes in lace, rare furs and the soft woolens of a Parisian coquette. Her name is Jolie Madame. It is discreet, capricious, enveloping, rich in flamboyant smells. “Like a pretty woman that it is, this perfume keeps its secret,” one connoisseur rightly said."
