well balanced
It is feminine without being sweet, light without smelling like bar soap, and sexi without smelling like musk. It is fresh and new, while staying mature and sophisticated. The woman who wears this drinks aged cognac in a modest suit while still managing to be very attractive. This is the scent for todays working woman. Still feminine, but successful and competent. Nobody bought this for her.

Eau no
Violet, pepper, and patchouli along with powder are notes I highly dislike in perfumery. I absolutely detest this sample I have, this is not good at all!

long lasting
I was on the fence about this perfume but when I saw it at the store, I immediately tried it on. It lasted thru all my shopping. I received so many compliments. I bought the larger bottle since I plan to use this great perfume everyday. The scent is long lasting.

Potent, Classic & Feminine
This is for the lady that appreciates the finer things in life. A classic blend of soft florals peppered with a beachy, woodsy, clean, feminine tone. The response is uplifting as people always ask, 'What fragrance are you wearing?' It lingers so not only are you beautifully fragrant you get the all day, holding power without it being too strong. That is a win, win combo!
Get a spritz on you as you arrive to Nordstrom so you can shop while you wear it. I bet it becomes a new favorite!!

Mysterious
This is truly a mysterious perfume that leaves a trail after you leave the room. I love perfumes and will not invest in something that is not long lasting. This one fits the bill.

I fell in love with this perfume before I bothered reading about the notes. I had tested it on my skin at least on three separate occasions. I decided to treat myself for my Birthday because I wanted a 'special something' to face the upcoming new year and I'm glad I did. However, I was surprised to read about the 'peppery' notes....those disappear on me after a while (which I'm glad about) and all I'm left with is a wonderful fragrance...the best way to describe it is to say that every time I wear it, I feel like I'm having a glam~luxe day (or night!)

Everday I'm ask what I'm wearing
I can honestly say I was introduced to this Parfum in a Fine Fragrance Store in Disney World in Orlando. It had just been introduced to the market and they were giving away free samples. It was the most heavenly scent I had ever smelled. With three children and a husband waiting (Ladies, you know what I mean)...I had to hurry along and was unable to get back to it. Well, time passed and I could not get the thought of that scent out of my mind and could not locate it again, all I could remember was the shape of the bottle. While on a weekend trip to Atlanta , and after a two year search there it WAS in Nordstroms! I was thrilled. My husband purchased the Largest bottle they had, & the body cream. I think I bathed in it for another two weeks, I absolutely found my perfect scent and could not get enough of it . Balenciaga Paris Parfum has been a gift every year from my husband since then. Every single time I wear it, someone stops me an ask what I am wearing. It's pretty amazing the effect it has on men and women. Please bring a Nordstrom to Birmingham, we need you!
