Ébène

An absolute masterpiece, one of the greatest green perfumes of all time. The last reviewer before me describes it perfectly, there is nothing to add, only superlatives. On one hand I consider it overlooked and underrated in the history of perfumery for the masterpiece that it is, on the other hand I am selfishly glad that it didn't get the status of a Kouros or Patou or you name it. You can still find a bottle here and there on Ebay, for a premium price, but less than what you would pay for a Roja or Boadicea, and this one puts any Roja in a corner and draws circles around it. Only a few select connoisseurs know about this gem and I am glad if it stays that way. In any place, from a luxurious patio of a steakhouse with an ocean view, to a luxury bar in Hawaii or an upscale country club, wearing this you will smell different than anybody else. This one gives you distinction and confidence, the whiffs and whaffs that come out of it are simply outstanding. It doesn't change much, in my opinion, and it doesn't need to , as from the very first blast of mint and greens this thing screams perfection. Alongside with Tsar( which, unfortunately, in most of the heavy oakmoss old formulations lost the magnificent top notes) this one is my two-way split number one of all time. Tsar, the green-velvety, jammy, mossy king, and Ebene, the green, minty, woody emperor

This is one of the best there was. Perfectly my type of cologne, this is Pour Monsieur in all its natural glory, just like Givenchy Pour Monsieur, Monsieur Rochas, Monsieur Carven, Monsieur Julian Jill etc, this is the peak in perfumery imo.

The leather note in the base is rounded off with a very subtle mint from the start. I tested an original sample and I'm thrilled with how long this vintage scent lasted. Very good. Fragrance 9/10, longevity 8/10, sillage 7/10.

This is wonderfully green, geranium, carnation, pine, oakmoss. The closest could be Geranium pour Monsieur, but I like this more. One of a kind. Just found and bought another 50ml of this at a very good price, so nice.

a pure jewel on the history of perfume, unfortunately it's almost impossible to get it, i use to wear it a lot when i was young, please balmain house try to creat a ebene again, pleeaaasseeee a new ebene......
