The luxury brand just dropped 10 unisex scents that smell incredible and won’t break the bank (for designer fragrance)
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to splurge on a luxury fragrance, Balenciaga just made your decision a whole lot easier. After nearly a decade away from perfumes, the iconic fashion house is back with 10 gorgeous unisex fragrances – and they’re surprisingly affordable for designer scents.
What Makes These Fragrances Special?
Forget everything you know about “men’s” and “women’s” perfumes. Balenciaga’s new collection is completely gender-neutral, meaning you can wear whichever scent speaks to you without worrying about traditional fragrance rules. Each bottle comes with a refillable design, so you can keep using your favorite without constantly buying new packaging.
The gorgeous glass bottles are inspired by a rare 1947 perfume that the brand tracked down from a private collector – talk about attention to detail. Even better, each bottle comes with a hand-tied ribbon that makes it feel like you’re unwrapping a gift every time.
The Scents You Need to Know
Here’s what each fragrance actually smells like, so you can find your perfect match:
For Fresh & Clean Lovers:
- Getaria – Think ocean breeze meets zesty citrus (perfect for summer days)
- Le Dix – Soft iris and violet that’s elegant but not overpowering
For Warm & Cozy Vibes:
- Twenty Four Seven – Creamy vanilla that’s comforting without being too sweet
- Muscara – Smooth and enveloping, like a cashmere sweater in scent form
For Bold Statement-Makers:
- 100% – Rich Bulgarian rose with an edgy metallic twist
- Extra – Spicy and attention-grabbing with saffron and pink pepper
For Sophisticated Tastes:
- Cristóbal – Luxurious oud that’s approachable for beginners
- Incense Perfumum – Mysterious and ritualistic (perfect for evening)
For the Unique:
- No Comment – Woody and resinous (ideal if you want something different)
- To Be Confirmed – Floral but unexpected, with tea notes that keep it interesting
The Best Part? The Price
100ml bottle pricing:
- Europe: €260
- UK: £220
- USA: $320
These fragrances are actually a steal in the luxury perfume world. Compare that to other designer brands charging €400+ / £340+ / $400+ for the same amount, and suddenly Balenciaga looks like the smart choice for your wallet.
Where to Buy Them
You can shop the collection at Balenciaga stores worldwide, online, or at their brand-new fragrance boutique in Paris. The scents are also rolling out to major department stores and fragrance retailers throughout October.
Why This Launch Matters for Fragrance Lovers
This isn’t just another celebrity perfume or quick cash grab. Balenciaga spent years recreating their original 1947 fragrance and developing these new scents. The result? Sophisticated perfumes that actually smell expensive and unique – not like everything else on the market.
Whether you’re a fragrance newbie looking for your signature scent or a collector wanting something fresh, Balenciaga’s comeback collection offers something for everyone. And with that refillable bottle design, you’re making a more sustainable choice too.
Pro tip: With 10 different scents to choose from, consider buying a smaller size first to test which ones work best with your skin chemistry. Trust us, you’ll want to try them all.
