Ivoire De Balmain Perfume by Pierre Balmain, Ivoire De Balmain is a chypre floral fragrance for women. It contains many enticing scent notes blended together to create a powerful and unique perfume. It begins with top notes of aldehydes, lemon, bergamot, marigold, artemisia, mandarin orange, violet, chamomile, and asafetida. Its heart is a floral, spicy mix of labdanum, nutmeg, cinnamon, carnation, narcissus, pepper, orris root, jasmine, rose, neroli, ylang-ylang, and lily of the valley. Rich and earthy base notes include sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, patchouli, musk, raspberry, vanilla, oakmoss, vetiver, and incense.

With moderate to heavy sillage and high longevity, this is a perfume that makes a statement when you enter the room. Pierre Balmain launched this attention-getting fragrance in 1979. Its continued popularity is due to the charming, vintage feel it brings to the one who wears it. Add this to your fragrance collection for those days when you want to stand out and be noticed. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey everyone, Rachel here. And today I'll be reviewing Balmain's Ivoire de Balmain. This scent from 1979 recently got a redesign for its box, but it didn't change the gorgeous, woody, aromatic, floral scent inside. Exquisitely blended, this scent takes many different notes and combines them into a fragrance evocative of the Chanel No 5 or Misty Ore school. But it's at a price point that may be way more affordable. That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this review. Please don't forget to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and take a moment to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

ELEGANT AND CLASSIC IVOIRE

Ivoire has also been my signature fragrance since it came out in the U.S. in the early 1980s. I am a fragrance fanatic, and love to try new scents, but there are many that have given me an allergy/headache. Ivoire Eau de Toilette is so subtle, fresh, and clean-smelling. The full strength parfum

is to die for--good luck finding it! In either strength, there is a whole bouquet of flowers in the bottle, and it just envelops you in the most complex, sophisticated and classic fragrance! My husband loves it on me and makes sure I never run out!

If I get the "original Ivoire" it will be fantastic!

If you can get the "Original Ivoire" (as the picture) it will be great and I would buy as many as you can get. I am missing that fragance! It is a clean frangance! I have not been able to get for a very long time. Once, I ordered (I don't remember from whom) and they had the same name,but a different perfume. I was very dissappointed. I hope this time, I will get the black and gold box with the right fragance. Maria.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Changed Ivoire

Have been wearing Ivoire for decades and have not been able to find it in the UK for a while but thanks to FragranceX.com have still been able to get it. Alas not any more. Like all the other reviewers, thought it was just new packaging. No, it isn't. It's a new fragrance as well. Was so annoyed that I phoned Balmain in Paris and they admitted it had changed. So why not call it something else instead of upsetting everyone? The "new" one is okay but it is not Ivoire.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

This perfume I have used daily for over 30 years!

This is the best perfume ever. I have used it daily since 1980!!! A must have! I continue to get complimented on my scent... fresh and floral but not overbearing! People constantly ask me what perfume I am using... I have never received one bad remark about the scent. Even in a "no scent" area, I just say "If you are offended by my odour, you are standing or sitting too close to me." Often the remark is "you smell so great"!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Clean laundry fresh!

This is the smell of fresh laundry, starts with soft Rose and after it softens with woodsy notes. Very nice to wear daily, not strong, like clean fresh air. I love it, was a blind buy but it is lovely!!!

Pretty & feminine

To me Ivoire does not smell like soap like so many reviewers have said. It smells more like a classic perfume such as Chanel No. 5. It's very long lasting but not overpowering. It's a green floral that would be good for everyday use.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

It's a Keeper

There's vetiver, a light raspberry rose and the finest of soaps. The dry down and departure from the skin is gradual, a lovely day time fragrance that you can apply early in the morning. There is a nod to the original Ivoire in the composition but it is a complete reinterpretation, so devotees of the old Ivoire might be disappointed. I will re purchase this one.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Ivoire de Balmain spray parfum way weakwer than the cologne

Sorry to say Ivoire de Balmain parfum spray was non-exietant 5 minutes after use. This was very puzzeling because I have used the cologne for years and it always remains. I have had men stop me on the street to say I smelled wonderful andask what I was wearing. Not with the perfume that I returned. I did notice the the lettering on the perfume was different than the lettering on my cologne. Cologne has double line lettering and a striped box - not so perfume.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Sweet woody floral

The beginning is citrous and could be a bit heavy, but in 20 minutes one splash turns into lovely soapy floral, very gentle. Two splashes are rather woody, than soapy, with patchouli and vanilla. Great in the wind, lasting power is about 8 hours. Perfect for everyday use.

Ivorie de Balmain

Unfortunately, the box and title of the parfume is showing Ivorie de Balmain, but if you look at the larger picture of the bottle that you would purchase, it is not the original Ivorie. If you do not have the bottle with the word de in the title it is not the original, I did purchase and am not happy at all. I did not look close enough and I recieved the Ivorie Balmain, two totally different parfumes. But it is all most impossible to find the original, be careful and read everything!

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Top, middle and base notes of old lady!

This is nothing like the iconic frag it replaces I know because I've worn it for 32 years. It is unremarkable, uninspired and pedestrian. It smells like an old lady and I am an old lady. It you want something unique and a frag you can love don't pick this one.

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

new package,new frangance not the same!

I loved the old Ivoire! The new one does not have the same fragrance. It is not bad, but not what I like. They should never named the new one with the same name of the old Ivoire! It is confusing and I now have to bottles that I don't know what to do with them! I was expecting a new package, but the same fragrance! Mantonia

Huge Disappointment

I recommended to my sister some 15 yrs ago Ivoire de Balmain. I knew it would suit her and I was right. She has been wearing it since. It didn't suit me back then but on a recent visit to her in another city I tried it and amazingly, it was perfect now on me too! She last bought a very large bottle 4 yrs ago which is what I tried. In receiving my order today, I immediately noticed the colour was much paler than my sister's. Once I lightly sprayed it, I immediately knew that the formula was very different from my sister's. The top notes of this 'stuff' are ghastly and choking, just horrible. Never will I wear this hideous stuff. Best used as a basement or cat litter spray, certainly never on my person.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Message Understood

This fragrance is a new interpretation by Michel Almairac and Jacques Fiori of the 1980 Ivoire. This is Ivoire 2012 in a stunning Chanel type bottle. The original integrity is retained whilst offering a delightful opening of top notes. It is aldehydic, fresh, powdery and soapy but the core of floral notes with musk is delightful. Top Marks for the fragrance and top service to FX as always

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Ivoire De Balmain

I have been wearing this scent for over 20 years. I love it for many reasons - It's elegant, feminine, light but long lasting and most of all rare. I never smell it on anyone else, which gives me the feeling that it's mine alone! FragranceX is the easiest, most economical way to purchase this scent. I'm a happy customer.
