Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Pure Balance Deja Vu is a unisex fragrance from the Australian brand Pure Balance, created for those who appreciate expressive compositions beyond strict gender boundaries.
The release is part of the Temp L D'or collection and is presented in perfume concentration, or extract.
The Pure Balance brand develops the idea of universal perfumery, where fragrances are chosen according to mood and personal taste.
Deja Vu follows this approach: its character is built not around obvious sweetness or freshness, but around a multilayered combination of green, spicy, balsamic and woody nuances.
In terms of its overall impression, Pure Balance Deja Vu belongs to the chypre family.
Aromatic, green, spicy, white-floral, gourmand, balsamic and woody nuances intertwine in the composition, making the fragrance feel natural, warm and rich at the same time.
Wild herbs and lemon balm create a distinctive mood, adding a lively herbaceous facet and a subtle bitter transparency.
At the opposite end are resins, vanilla and a woody accord, which form a deeper, softer and more enveloping background.
Jasmine adds a white-floral accent, while the spices make the composition more noticeable and energetic.
Pure Balance Deja Vu is described as having very strong sillage, so the fragrance is intended to make a noticeable impression.
The extract unfolds intensely and is best suited to those who enjoy fragrances with character, expressive density and a lasting impact.
The composition feels especially natural in cool weather, when resinous, spicy, vanilla and woody nuances sound more expansive.
At the same time, its universal positioning allows both women and men to wear Deja Vu—the deciding factor is not gender, but one’s personal perception of jasmine, green herbs and the warm base.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
Given its extract concentration and very strong sillage, it is sensible to begin by testing the fragrance with a minimal number of sprays and then find a comfortable amount individually.
The launch year of Pure Balance Deja Vu and the period during which the fragrance has been available on the market are not specified in the available information.
The perfumer’s name has also not been disclosed, so it is more accurate to assess the composition by its olfactory profile rather than associate it with the work of a particular creator.
Within the brand’s range, this release demonstrates Pure Balance’s interest in rich unisex formulas, where natural herbs and floral accents meet spices, resins and gourmand vanilla.
This balance makes the fragrance an original choice for chypre enthusiasts who want a warmer and denser interpretation of the genre.
For further exploration of a similar mood, consider Yves Rocher Folies de Saisons Delires d'Automne.

Resins, vanilla and a woody accord create a warm, deep and enveloping scent.
