I'm so disappointed in all the reviewers who missed the best part of this scent, which is the INCENSE in the dry down.

I got a generous decant from a lovely swapper very recently; I was intrigued to try Balle de Match after reading its notes: I like green, refreshing and citrus scents for summer.
This one is a...

Balle de Match starts off with a zesty, vibrant top note of grapefuit that is exciting and entrancing. Normally I don't care for the bitterness of grapefruit but this seemed different for some...

Terrific, bracing lime-incense scent with a strong peppery edge. PdN has a terrific way with their citrus fragrances, as they are all unique and sometimes surprising. Nice for both men and women.

A unique twist on a citrus fragrance. This starts with a burst of fresh pink grapefruit and lime. Next, I picked up pine, bay and pepper with a dry down of soft musk, bay and incense. This could...

I had been meaning to sample this fragrance for over a year now, but after getting singed by Eau d’Ete, I was a little hesitant to try another PdN perfume. Shame on me! This is the perfect zingy...

Balle de Match opens with grapefruit - an entire orchard's worth of grapefruit condensed into one spritz. However, it's appealing grapefruit. Normally, the phrase "appealing grapefruit" would...

With first spray, it's as if you've squeezed the juices of grapefruit and lemon rinds onto your skin. I now realize that it's not so much lemon-dominated citruses that offend me, but certain...

The perkiest of lemons, grapefruit and herbs open up Balle de Match, giving way to a lime-infused pine wood base. Tart, but not acidic or bitter, refreshing, but complex and layered, this is a...

In contrast to previous reviewers, Balle de Match is a citrus fragrance which acts rather "wet" or watery on my skin. There is something about the lime note that calls to mind cucumbers and exerts...

Finally, a complex, "adult" citrus fragrance! It is redolent not so much of citrus fruits themselves, but of the bitter oils that spray so minutely out of the skins as you peel them. Unlike most...

Starts with an invigorating surge of lemon and herbs -- one or more of oregano, basil, thyme -- then relaxes into a gorgeous mint, grass, and fruit(?) melange. I think of this as L'Eau de...

This fragrance is just divine. The refreshing top notes of grapefruit and lime are enhanced by the underlying rich spiciness (two co-workers I enlisted to smell my wrist said "christmassy" and "I...

I became acquainted with this fine fragrance when Victoria sent me a sample along with some other decants. I can add little to the previous reviews except to say it works well on men, too. I find...
