About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Le Dix by Balenciaga is a 1947 chypre floral that opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes, bergamot, lemon, and juicy peach, lifted by a touch of coriander. The heart is a lush, powdery bouquet: lilac, orris root, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, rose, jasmine, and a distinctive almond note that adds a creamy, almost marzipan-like richness. As it dries down, the base reveals its vintage character: civet, musk, and sandalwood intertwine with benzoin, amber, vanilla, vetiver, Peru balsam, tonka bean, and patchouli, creating a warm, animalic, and deeply resinous foundation that lingers for hours.

This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate classic mid-century chypres with a pronounced powdery and aldehydic signature. It suits those who love bold, complex compositions and don't mind a touch of civet. Ideal for evening wear or special occasions, Le Dix evokes a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. If you enjoy scents like Guerlain's Mitsouko or Chanel's Bois des Îles, this will feel like a treasure.
