Sublime Balkiss

Description

A green-floral chypre with a lively, fruity opening of cassis and citrus. At the heart, the fragrance reveals floral notes, particularly rose and lily-of-the-valley. Then it gets woodsier, almost mossy.

At a glance

The mystery and seduction of a chypre scent that’s both modern and classic

History

For The Different Company, Céline Ellena has come up with a modern chypre. Here, flowers and berries are blended with 2 varieties of patchouli: the essence and a fraction. Although it keeps the classic structure of a chypre scent, the fragrance contains neither oak moss nor synthetic moss. While the fragrance’s name is an homage to the Queen of Sheba, for the scent itself, the designer was inspired by her childhood memories of Ireland and by actresses from black-and-white American films from the 40s.
