‘A reverential reconstruction of M. Balenciaga’s 1947 icon, the House’s first perfume, Le Dix is an olfactory time capsule. Its name, meaning “The 10” in French, refers to 10 Avenue George V, the historical address of the original Balenciaga Couture salon, ateliers, and perfume store in Paris, where the House’s couture shows are still held today. Revitalized by blending precious iris absolute with innovative isolated iris aldehydes. Exuding elegance and grace, enhanced by violet leaf absolute and incense essential oils.’ – Balenciaga

‘In 1947, Cristóbal Balenciaga, the Spanish couturier who founded his namesake House in 1917, created the first Balenciaga perfume, Le Dix. Nearly 80 years later, this historical fragrance has been reimagined as part of a collection of ten exclusive scents developed with Kering Beauté (…) Like the bottle and packaging, Le Dix’s original formula was also analyzed and recreated: iris absolute, isolated iris aldehydes, violet leaf absolute and incense essential oils combine to form an elegant and graceful scent. The historical Le Dix perfume emerges reimagined and renewed, infused with the contemporary spirit of Balenciaga  (…) The collection is completed by nine other Parfums referencing Balenciaga’s heritage. Each fragrance—No Comment, Getaria, Twenty Four Seven, To Be Confirmed, Muscara, 100%, Extra, Cristóbal, and Incense Perfumum—contrasts ingredients in fusion and tension: exceptional raw materials emblematic of high perfumery and avant-garde ingredients obtained through cutting-edge extraction techniques. This unique collection, defined by contrasts and dualities, transposes the radical approach embedded in the House’s DNA into a new realm, redefining the centuries-old art of perfumery. ‘ – Kering
