Conceived as invisible sculptures, where time becomes raw material.
More than seventy-five years after Cristóbal Balenciaga presented “Le Dix” – the Maison’s first perfume – Balenciaga returns to its archives to bring to life a creation that honours the past and challenges the present. Because this collection, in addition to celebrating the heritage of the Spanish couturier, known for his technical precision and revolutionary silhouettes, also transfers that radical DNA to the field of contemporary perfumery.
The project was born after 15 years of research, culminating in the discovery of a forgotten bottle of Le Dix dating back to 1947. This gesture of olfactory archaeology has given rise to a renaissance where tradition and technology coexist in perfect harmony. The refillable bottles faithfully reproduce the original design, with their spherical glass stopper and hand-tied ribbon. The packaging, marked by the passage of time and the contrast of industrial grey, embodies the metaphor of what Balenciaga proposes: a dialogue between memory and the future.
The ten new fragrances unfold an olfactory spectrum ranging from the purest light to complete darkness. A study of dualities in which precious oils collide with contemporary structures, and the mastery of French perfumery meets the most current and radical innovation. Haute couture in a bottle.
The collection is now available at the Balenciaga fragrance boutique, located at the Maison‘s iconic address (10 Avenue George V, Paris), as well as in selected stores worldwide and on balenciaga.com.
