Almost a month after the extremely successful Balmain x H&M collaboration, the brands have joined forces yet again to release a limited-edition H&M perfume.
Both male and female fashion fans were beyond eager on the November 5th, 2015 release date of the Balmain x H&M collection. Causing overnight lineups and quick sellouts, this collaboration proved to be one of the fast fashion retailer's most successful collections. Following that major accomplishment, the Balmain x H&M fragrance is said to be the scent of the brand. The perfume is a unisex scent and was created with tonka bean and jasmine notes as well as Interparfums. The fragrance is also enriched with cedar and blond woods with base notes of musk and sandalwood.
The Balmain x H&M perfume will be released to select H&M retailers on December 3rd, 2015.
