Ida's bottle of Pierre Balmain Elysees 64-83 by Germaine Cellier ©

Pierre Balmain Elysees 64-83 by Germaine Cellier is rare and costly as hen’s teeth and just as difficult to come by: when I eventually found some I quickly caved despite many sound reservations. As an overtly ardent admirer of All Things Cellier the siren song was not to be denied. What a glorious composition! Pierre Balmain Elysees 64-83 by Germaine Cellier hails from an era in which one anticipated experiencing a sensual journey before falling into the lingering luscious abyss of studied shadow where they longed to dally indefinitely. Once applied to flesh and closely observed, you can feel the germination of Cellier’s genius (you won’t catch me using that appellation often; I tend to cringe first). Within each drop abides her passion for magnificent florals, the marriage of unlikely materials (artemisia and ambergris?), her love of leather and earthy innuendo. No single aromatic participant sticks out like a sore thumb or diva: individualism lovingly coexists with a rounded sense of completion which is immensely satisfying. Linearity is nonexistent.
