But Cristóbal wasn’t having any of that because he desired to work with clothing, in the footsteps of his dressmaker mother. Completely self-taught, he opened his salon, Balenciaga y Compañía, in 1918, and almost from the word go royalty and aristocrats were beating a path to his door. Like so many, Balenciaga fled the Spanish Civil War, and moved his HQ to the world’s fashion capital of Paris, in 1937. A year later, he opened his beautiful neoclassical flagship store at 10 Avenue George V, which you can still visit today. LE DIX is the first fragrance launched by Balenciaga and was introduced in 1947 as a gentle, classic floral scent for evening. Le Dix was named after the address of Balenciaga’s Parisian showroom, Le Dix (No. 10), and is a magnificent ambery floral.
