Balenciaga L'Édition Mer

8.1

Balenciaga · 2015

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Balenciaga L'Édition Mer is a fresh, aquatic women's scent whose floral side softens the marine air before it settles into a woody, creamy finish. It has been discontinued. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters rate its staying power as strong. There are too few votes on season or occasion to say more about when it suits best. Yuzu and shiso leaf give it a bright, slightly sharp start. Lily of the valley and marine notes follow, pairing a soft floral note with salty coolness. At the base, sea shell and dry woods lay down a woody, faintly creamy ground. Kenzo Kenzo Homme (Eau de Toilette Marine) and Laborynthia Cap d'Antibes have a close profile.

Vanilla XXL

7.0

Balenciaga · 2026

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Balenciaga Vanilla XXL is a unisex fragrance with a sweet, gourmand character, with fruity and spicy sides alongside. As a whole, the scent rests on a warm, sweet blend of black vanilla, liqueur and cinnamon. Fruity and gourmand accords push the sweetness forward, while cinnamon adds a spicy warmth and musk gives a soft, faintly animal backdrop. Woody and oriental tones deepen the sweetness, and a synthetic sheen runs through it. Voters find its longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so this reading calls for some caution. It suits those who like rich, sweet fragrances. Rabanne Pure XS and El Nabil Musc Fruity have a close profile.

6.3

Balenciaga · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Balenciaga No Comment is a fresh, woody unisex scent built around green notes, Spanish cypress and pine needle. The scent reads green and resinous throughout: pine needle and cypress give a forest-like feel over a fresh, citrusy base. Sweet and spicy touches soften the greenery, while powdery and creamy shades stay in the background. A slightly synthetic sheen shapes its character. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. It sits comfortably on both men and women. Dusita Issara and Byredo Gypsy Water (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Twenty Four Seven

7.0

Balenciaga · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Sweet

Balenciaga Twenty Four Seven is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, citrusy lift with a sweet, gourmand warmth. Amber, vanilla absolute and musk lead the composition. The fresh and citrus side keeps it light, while the gourmand, creamy and powdery accords add a soft sweetness. Spicy and resinous touches stop that sweetness from turning heavy, and a woody base ties it together. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming anyone nearby. It suits women and men alike, with no clear gender lean. Its profile is close to Rituals Oriental Essence - Victoire d'Ambre and Snif Heal the Way.

Cristobal Eau de Cristobal

7.5

Balenciaga · 2003

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Balenciaga Cristobal Eau de Cristobal is a fresh, floral and sweet women's fragrance that opens with rhubarb, mandarin orange and bergamot, with freesia and peony at its heart; it has been discontinued. It begins with rhubarb, mandarin orange, bergamot and blackcurrant, giving a citrusy, fruity brightness. In the heart, freesia, peony, ylang-ylang and jasmine bring the floral side forward. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood, amber and vanilla sweetens it and settles into a woody, powdery, lightly spicy warmth. Its profile is close to Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo Eau Indigo pour Femme and La Perla Just Precious.

Extra

7.4

Balenciaga · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Balenciaga Extra is a unisex fragrance built on a fresh, citrusy character, softened by floral and green tones. Black pepper and pink pepper bring a spicy edge, while everlasting flower carries the floral side. The notes read as a single whole rather than in layers. Fruity and sweet accords soften the spice, and woody and resinous tones stay in the background. A synthetic brightness also runs through the scent. The overall impression is crisp, peppery and airy. It suits men and women alike who want something between floral and spicy. Frapin L'Humaniste and Heeley Zeste de Gingembre have a close profile.

Getaria

6.5

Balenciaga · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Balenciaga Getaria is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent built around salty notes, pink pepper, citrus fruits and algae absolute. The citrus fruits give it a bright, clean lift, while the salty notes and algae absolute pull it towards the sea, with a faintly mineral feel. Pink pepper adds a dry, spicy edge. Green and woody touches sit among the accords, and the whole reads crisp and dry, with a synthetic, clean-laundry quality. The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it stays on one briny line from start to finish. Poécile Bleu Asgard and Giardini di Toscana Blu Mare have a close profile.
