Bottles measure: Each one is 31.71 mm by 22.8 mm by 44.4 mm (1.25 x 0.90 x 1.75 Inches) Cristóbal Balenciaga was born in the Basque region of Spain, and had the choice of becoming a fisherman like his father, or a priest like his uncle. But Cristóbal wasn’t having any of that because he desired to work with clothing, in the footsteps of his dressmaker mother. Completely self-taught, he opened his salon, Balenciaga y Compañía, in 1918, and almost from the word go royalty and aristocrats were beating a path to his door. Like so many, Balenciaga fled the Spanish Civil War, and moved his HQ to the world’s fashion capital of Paris, in 1937. A year later, he opened his beautiful neoclassical flagship store at 10 Avenue George V, which you can still visit today. LE DIX is the first fragrance launched by Balenciaga and was introduced in 1947 as a gentle, classic floral scent for evening. Le Dix was named after the address of Balenciaga’s Parisian showroom, Le Dix (No. 10), and is a magnificent ambery floral. Delicate, powdery, dark violets can be felt through a sparkling veil of bergamot and lemon, giving the main motive to the whole composition. The opulent heart opens with rose and ylang-ylang and, after a while, their strong floral scent is toned down by aldehydes. Subtle vanilla dominates in the base bringing an interesting accord into this classic composition. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Fabron. LA FUITE DES HEURES is the second fragrance by Balenciaga, launched in 1948 after the debut Le Dix. The perfume was created by Germaine Cellier and dedicated to the fashion of the house. It is a formula of Provençal herbs and jasmine that create a perfume of great radiance and tenacity. The fragrance is developed with herbal and green notes, anise, aldehydes, flowers that are dominated by jasmine, thyme, violet, woody tones, leather, amber. Yet the suave jasmine and ylang ylang glory with sweet accents of light amber in the base is lovely. The piquant herbs of anise and thyme and greens note of vetiver along with an aldehydic vibrance mellow significantly after the opening, when they give way to the more tenacious woody and musky elements. QUADRILLE opens with a nose tingling blast of deep, boozy plum wine with significant musk and mossy green oakmoss support. Moving to the early heart the boozy plum recedes to a supporting role, leaving the animalic musk and mossy green oakmoss as co-stars with hints of dulled peach fruit and cardamom spice. As the composition moves further through its mid-section, the musk fades as the oakmoss switches gear, now featuring its powdery facet while maintaining some of its prior mossy green nature. During the late dry-down the composition stays linear with the gentle powdery oakmoss remaining almost through the finish, as hints of earlier obscured jasmine show up towards the end of the composition's development.” Quadrille is a classic scent of 1950's and is classified as a spicy chypre. Sparkling fresh fruity notes open the composition: plum, peach and lemon. Jasmine in the heart note blend together with warm spices of clove and cardamom. The base is very sensual, composed of amber and musk. The perfume was created in 1955. Note: Very rare to still see as a set in their original box.

Balenciaga

Starting as a modest boutique, Balenciaga evolved to transform the landscape of women’s fashion with shapes and contours during the middle of the 20th century that were nothing less than groundbreaking. Today, the brand is as venturesome as ever and is well known for its shoes, handbags, sneakers, streetwear and other clothing and accessories.

Though he was born in the quiet fishing village of Getaria in Spain’s Basque region, Cristóbal Balenciaga (1895–1972) was destined to reshape modern fashion. As a child, he worked alongside his seamstress mother. Showing immense talent, he earned commissions as a teenager from local patron Marquesa de Casa Torres, who paid for his tailoring education in Madrid. In 1917, he established his first haute couture house — named Eisa, for his mother — in the trendy resort town San Sebastián. He soon followed it with boutiques in Madrid and Barcelona, drawing such clientele as the Spanish royal family.

When the Spanish Civil War put a hold on his prospects in Spain, the designer moved to Paris, opening a house on Avenue Georges V in 1937. There, Balenciaga rubbed elbows with fashion greats like Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli and quickly won over clients like Gloria Guinness, Pauline de Rothschild and Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor.

As a couturier, Balenciaga drew from his Spanish heritage for ideas, riffing on everything from matador costumes and flamenco dresses to the paintings of Diego Velázquez, whose portraits of Spanish princesses famously inspired Balenciaga’s Infanta gown.

An expert tailor, he experimented with sculptural silhouettes that didn’t follow the body. Some of his notable designs include the 1953 balloon jacket, and from 1957, the cocoon coat, the baby-doll dress and the sack dress, which he popularized with his good friend designer Hubert de Givenchy. All of these could be considered not just the masterpieces of haute couture, but also objets d’art in their own right, leading to Balenciaga’s nickname, “The Master.”

Balenciaga continued designing until 1968, when he retired after three decades of influential work and his fashion house went dormant. The rights to Balenciaga were acquired by Jacques Bogart S.A. in 1986. Under designer Michel Goma, who focused on ready-to-wear, the brand experienced a resurgence, with his first collection introduced in 1987.

The brand returned to high fashion with the arrival of designer Josephus Thimister in 1992. It has since been led by a series of creative directors who have paid homage to Balenciaga’s iconic designs, including Nicolas Ghesquière, Alexander Wang and, most recently, Demna Gvasalia. In 2011, a museum celebrating Balenciaga’s legacy opened in his hometown in Spain, commemorating where it all began.
