About
Inspired by the House's founder, Cristóbal embodies an enigmatic sobriety, while radiating a deep gravity, a duality that evokes all the complexity of Mr. Balenciaga. This fragrance pays homage to the House's most precious name, through one of the noblest ingredients in perfumery: oud oil. He combines this preciousness with a sensual weave of bright patchouli and oakmoss.
