Fleeting Moment / Fuite des Heures (1948)
by Balenciaga

My sample was elegant, rich, and refined but somehow generic; there was somehow no personality, nothing memorable.

During the drydown a slight smell of melting plastic appeared briefly.

The fragrance faded more quickly than I would have expected for a parfum.

powdery chypre- less green w/a little more spice & pungent than Tigress(which I favor), a bit of sweetness & dried fruit like Habanita, more green than H. Seems right in the middle of those two in flavor. Nice layers, good sillage. not sure of the exact notes, sorry!
