Named after Balkis — the legendary Queen of Sheba — the composition pairs a juicy fruity-floral top of violet leaves, bergamot, blackberry, blueberry and cassis with a romantic heart of Damask rose, lilac and lily-of-the-valley, settling into a sensual drydown of dual patchoulis, heather and cocoa powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Different Company\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Different Company is a French niche perfume house founded in 2000 by Jean-Claude Ellena (the legendary in-house perfumer at Hermès) and Thierry de Baschmakoff. The brand has been built around the philosophy of \"perfume as poetry\" — small-batch compositions with refillable bottles, focused on storytelling rather than mass appeal. Céline Ellena, Jean-Claude's daughter, has composed many of the house's signature scents including Sublime Balkiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet Leaves, Bergamot, Blackberry, Cassis, Blueberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Damask Rose, Lilac, Lily-of-the-Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patchouli (traditional \u0026amp; modern), Heather, Cocoa Powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOlfactory family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chypre Floral  |  \u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008  |  \u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Céline Ellena\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSublime Balkiss suits anyone drawn to modern, refined niche compositions — particularly fans of fruity-floral chypres with a hint of gourmand cocoa warmth.
