More about Balmain Ébène
Ébène is a 2024 woody amber eau de parfum for women and men by Balmain, created by perfumer Maurice Roucel for the Les Éternels de Balmain collection as a revival of Pierre Balmain's 1983 Ébène. Incense and cinnamon open dark and spiced. Ebony wood, tobacco and geranium form a smoky, resinous heart. Myrrh, Atlas cedar and vanilla settle into a deep, balsamic base.
