Released in 1967, Balafre (Vintage) by Lancôme is aromatic, woody, green perfume with fresh spicy undertones. Crafted by Gerard Goupy. It opens with bergamot, chamomile, cypress, green notes, lavender and neroli, transitions through heart notes of carnation, cedar, clary sage, geranium and pine tree needles, and settles into a warm base of amber, leather, musk, oakmoss and vetiver. Good Projection and performance is above average 6+ hours.
