Ébène is a 2024 woody amber eau de parfum for women and men by Balmain, created by perfumer Maurice Roucel for the Les Éternels de Balmain collection as a revival of Pierre Balmain's 1983 Ébène. Incense and cinnamon open dark and spiced. Ebony wood, tobacco and geranium form a smoky, resinous heart. Myrrh, Atlas cedar and vanilla settle into a deep, balsamic base. Dark and enveloping, it is a fall and winter fragrance, made for the evening.

The community verdict
A smoky, balsamic amber with woody and warm spicy sides, Ébène centres on incense, myrrh and ebony wood, with tobacco running through it. Winter is when it feels most at home, and autumn fits too. Night is the natural hour, and daytime is a fair second choice.
