Is Ébène de Balmain still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued for many years. It is now considered a rare vintage find, highly sought after by collectors of 1980s masculine perfumery.
How does the fragrance perform in terms of lasting power?+−
It is known for its remarkable longevity on the skin. Users typically find that it lasts comfortably throughout the day, with the base notes of moss and leather remaining detectable long after application.
For which seasons is this scent most appropriate?+−
Due to its warm spices and heavy resinous base, it excels in the fall and winter. However, the inclusion of mint, juniper, and basil in the opening gives it enough lift to be worn during the spring.

It is a classic "manly" scent that balances green, herbal top notes with a dark, smoky, and leathery base. It lacks the sweetness of modern men's fragrances and instead focuses on dry woods and resins.
