What do reviewers say about Ivoire de Balmain and Poison?
Some fragrances whisper. This one knows exactly who it is. That aldehydic lift up top, the stuff that makes vintage Chanel so unmistakable, gives way to warm spice and powder.Ivoire de Balmain
Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
