IVOIRE DE BALMAIN PERFUME REVIEW BY MARY ANNE
I have been buying Ivoire since .... the 80s? I can't remember, it's been so long, and if I could remember the misspoken name a boyfriend gave it I could remember how long I have worn it... This perfume, to me, is even more a classic French perfume. It is classy, sexy, alluring and I love it so much I surreptitiously sniff my wrists when I wear it. I don't know, or care what the notes are as long as Balmain never stops making it, and doesn't change the formula (Chanel did that to their original version of Christalle and really disappointed me). Originally Ivoire and Christalle were the only 2 perfumes I would wear. Chanel took the lemony sweetness out of Christalle and turned it into a more herbal eau de toilette (it had been more of a splash type fragrance with more water than alcohol). Back to Ivoire, I'm really happy to know that other people wear it and feel the same way about it. I have a hard time finding it, and luckily my husband works in NYC and finds it in a highend retailer.

A NEW ONE FROM BALMAIN SUE C 10/12/07 04:26 AM 5 out of 5 stars
IVOIRE DE BALMAIN PERFUME REVIEW BY SUE C
I found in the stores today a new release by Pierre Balmain called "La Mome" inspired by a film starring Edith Piaf. It's a very nice floral oriental, a dark coloured liquid in a sophisticated classic rectangular bottle. Very French of course. I sprayed it on a card but next time will try it on my skin.

IVOIRE DE BALMAIN PERFUME REVIEW BY SYLVIE
Hi Sue C, I have a bottle Eau d'Ivoire in my collection. The colour of the packaging/box is cream/white. It's not similar to the classic Ivoire! Not so sharp and green!! Eau d'Ivoire is a hard to find (discontinued?)fragrance. A very light, modern, "transparent" fruity-floral Chypre fragrance with complexity. A beautiful balanced scent. Pleasant, uncomplicated, feminine, and elegant at the same time. Perfume description by osmoz: "After the citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin, the freesia boasts its green leaf notes. The extremely feminine wild rose mingles with pink berries to spice up the top note. Then comes the sweet and tender heart note featuring a bouquet of wisteria and lily of the valley. Ylang Ylang and jasmine bring femininity and mingle with raspberry. The end note is tender like a caress. The strong amber note featured in Ivoire has been replaced by a woody and earthy note of vetiver, the slightly dry scent of cedarwood, musk to give warmth, oakmoss for added freshness and mouth-watering vanilla for roundness. Top note : Mandarin, Freesia, Wild Rose, Pink Berries. Middle note : Wisteria, Lily of the Valley, Ylang ylang, Raspberry. Base note : Vetiver, Cedarwood, Musk, Vanilla." - Hope this helps. Happy hunting and greetings from Germany, Sylvie.

IVOIRE DE BALMAIN PERFUME REVIEW BY IVOIRE
ingenious! Sybolizes a noble, soft an calm "landed gentry" lady (wearing pearls as well as leather) who has a very strong, self-assured character with a hidden passionate sexuality. I think it's because of the ingenious combination of the green note galbanum (which I normally dislike as too harsh), the fresh-flowery rose and soft, but not too dry woody note. The best way ever galbanum was used

IVOIRE SCENTMANIAC 06/05/07 10:14 AM 5 out of 5 stars
IVOIRE DE BALMAIN PERFUME REVIEW BY SCENTMANIAC
Ivoire is one most exciting scents ever - just were I looked for. The harsh green-galbanum, which >i don't really like, is very decent an melts ingeneously with the light, tender-feminin and ladylike rose. And both lies over a warm, gentle and calming, may be woody base. Too me, it expresses perfectly a misterous, self-assured woman: on first glance clam, but strong - with an irritating underlying sexuality and passion Normally, I don't like these green-galbanum-typical eighties scents: too dry, heavy and strong.
