AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original boutique display factice for Ivoire de Balmain, produced in France circa 1970–1980.

This is an authentic oversized presentation bottle created exclusively for perfumery counters and luxury department stores. Clearly marked “FACTICE”, it was never intended for retail sale or personal use, but for high-end in-store display.

The composition reflects classic French couture elegance: a square glass inner bottle with golden display liquid, framed within its original cream-toned sculptural outer case and matching cap bearing the embossed Balmain “B” monogram. The architectural, minimalist shape is characteristic of 1970s French perfume design.

Large-format Balmain factices are increasingly sought after by collectors of haute parfumerie memorabilia and luxury advertising objects.
