Pierre Balmain

What the Pierre Balmain range is made of

50% of the 24 Pierre Balmain fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain bergamot. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Pierre Balmain returns to bergamot more than to anything else — across 24 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads cooler than the catalogue as a whole: warmth averages 0.40 against 0.49 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

The Pierre Balmain range spreads 0.105 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2006.
