Re: Balmain recommendations

I think all the Balmains, at their cost are FBW. But that's how I think! Balmain de Balmain is my favorite for men, a dry, classic chypre with a great, lasting fougere-like drydown!

Re: Feminine Molinard or Balmain suggestions

I have to pipe up here, as Balmain is my fave house:
