Prelude

Balenciaga Prelude is a citrus, floral, and spicy fragrance. The opening is orange and aldehydes. the heart settles on carnation, ylang-ylang, and cinnamon. the dry-down rests on tolu balsam, benzoin, and amber.

Balenciaga Prelude is estimated to last 8+ hrs on skin (a 5/5 longevity score). This is derived from the base-note composition — heavier base families like oriental, woody, and leather extend wear, while citrus-led blends tend to fade faster.

Balenciaga Prelude projects at a strong level (4/5 sillage). Expect it to fill a room and announce itself before you arrive.

Balenciaga Prelude is best worn during spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The note profile makes it well suited to daily wear, date night, evening, sport / outdoor, and formal. ScentCast pairs it with live weather and your calendar so you only reach for it on the right days.

Based on the note structure, a single morning application usually carries through the full day. Heat and humidity will shorten longevity; cooler weather and moisturised skin will extend it.
