Pierre Balmain was the creator of the eponymous fashion house: BALMAIN. He discovered early on his love for fabrics and design since he often accompanied his mother to her job of dress making. He opened his own fashion house in 1945 and set up his business at 44 rue François Premier in Paris which is, to date, the flagship store and headquarter of the brand.

Carbone is a modern and luminous fragrance, dedicated to the urban man who has a passion for new technologies, performance, resistance and lightness. The Carbone man is an epicurean who burns

with a contagious passion for life. Head notes and Elemi resin compose an explosive spicy and fusing departure. The heart of the fragrance is dominated by a green boosting effect which conveys refinement, modernity and elegance. The base lingers over the intense and very sensual notes of Siam Benzoin and musk. Vetiver adds its indubitably masculine touch.
