Balenciaga Paris balenciaga speed trainer is a beautiful fragrance! It's very well balanced, sophisticated and discreet. The perfume starts creamy, then the violet and violet leaf appear with a gorgeous green note. The woods are tamed, even the patchouli. BP lasts about 6h and stays close to the skin, that makes this fragrance very easy to wear. BP is my new darling!Elegant, sophisticated. Iris and violets with subtle but tenacious green notes and aldehydes. Balenciaga isn't powdery so much as soft and feminine. It smells substantially the same throughout its development, only becoming mellower and plusher as it dries down.
There are classic perfumes like No.5 and Shalimar that have this vintage aura about them, and then there is Balenciaga Paris, which is the epitome of a modern perfume. When I first spray it on, I can smell a blast of carnation. About 2 minutes later, the violet note becomes prominent and it stays there for the rest of the time. Maybe that's what makes this perfume so urban. The perfume balenciaga triple s lasts about 5 hours on my skin, which is not very long lasting for a EDP, but it's still great. It reminds me of the L'eau Rose because there's a hint of spicy note in both of them, but Paris is more modern.
A year ago my husband and I spent a day in Stanford. We balenciaga shoes love it there! Great restaurants, fun museums, excellent shopping. It was my birthday. We tested fragrances, then walked some more, then tested other stuff... He understands how perfumes are important to me and we were looking for something new we would both love. We chose Balenciaga! It starts with a hint of floral notes, very elegant, not overpowering, develops into gently "tea like" herbal scent, with some "roots" for strength. I keep reviewing its list of notes. The notes are so beautifully blended, that Balenciaga truly feels like "one", instead of a combination of its parts.
The cedar note adds character and the carnation is very well behaved. To my nose balenciaga sneakers there is something fresh in it but I can t tell what it is and I can t see it listed. A must sniff for violet fans! Balenciaga Paris is a darling that is suitable for all round use, since I can t see this being inappropriate for any occasion -- when is classy ever wrong? The bottle is also very pretty and the cap reminds me of a vintage piece of ivory. Silage is: powdery violets with a classy edge -- Longevity is: 5 hours of Parisian chic.But the cedar, the deep complimentary cedar brings the whole fragrance to a new depth.
Being that I completely shied away from my usual signature notes, I was eager to see how this fragrance would react with my skin, just one word, beautifully. I m overpowered with floral, I never appreciated how delicate violet leaf was until I smelt it on my skin. To begin with this scent is incredibly powdery, woody and floral, light but warm and spicy, after quite some time, it blends down to a watery, aquatic I should say, because the sillage is still strong, feminine array of "green" notes, patchouli, cedar and so on. The staying power of this scent is a little disappointing, but I have never been one to complain about re applying, to feel the story all over again, why wouldn t I?
I think to blend balenciaga speed runner violet and carnation is genius, the strength of the violet and the sweetness of the carnation, makes for a very bold yet feminine fragrance. My main love for this fragrance comes from my appreciation for the pleasant change it welcomed, I m usually one for heavy, dark and strong fragrances, all in which must contain my signature note, rose, but I felt new inspiration from this fragrance, a lightness, I would describe this as a creamy array of floral and green, it can be very masculine to use elements of "green" notes in a fragrance, however this displays complete femininity.
