I was debating whether balenciaga sneakers to get this or Midnight Rose by Lancôme and I didn't want to blind buy so I got a tester from both to spray on my arms and after half an hour I just couldn't stop sniffing the Florabotanica!! My husband liked it too so I bought it. After two hours my arm still smelt amazing. Definitely heavy on the rose notes and the musk comes through in a subtle way. Surprised to see cannabis and mint as notes but I do not smell them at all! I don't think it's just for the younger audience and as I'm over 40, I'm definitely owning it!! After reading one of the comments here I'm glad it's not discontinued after being told by the staff at a perfume stockist that Balenciaga no longer produce it.
I can pickup cool,green scent of mint but I can also smell something really similar to green stems of a rain washed rose bush Change of phases in this scent is very interesting.first phase balenciaga men is cool and fresh.there's just a whisper of rose covered but green scent of stems and leaves,even a hint of soil.this phase isn't heavily floral. Gradually rose becomes more apparent.
This is: - a dewy rose extracted from Coco Mademoiselle - mixed with watered down greenery from L'Ombre Dans Leau - mixed with TUB of cream, body lotion balenciaga arena warmed up by your skin, the creamy Chloe impression Second chances are worth giving. I am in love!When Florabotanica was first released back in 2012 there was this constant influx of rave reviews. All the talk actually put me off testing this fragrance for many years. I was convinced that I would be left disappointed from all the hype. Well finally I've tested Florabotanica, and while I won't be adding it to my collection any time soon, I must admit that it is very pretty.
I chose the right season for Florabotanica; a beautiful, sunny Spring day. I believe this fragrance could smell quite uninspiring during the colder months. Florabotanica is essentially an balenciaga mens trainers icy-cool rose scent. It has that freshly picked rose and stem aroma, mixed with minty toothpaste and a touch of sour geranium. I laughed at the cannabis note listed in this scent pyramid, and I affirm that if it is indeed present, it's hardly noticeable. Vetiver in the drydown creates a somewhat salty finish to this fragrance that smells rather unique and appealing. I commend Balenciaga for adding a quirky, edgy scent to their already elegant and feminine fragrance range.
I am also quite taken with Florabotanica's packaging as it reminds me of Piet Mondrian's artistic style. Florabotanica lasted six hours on my skin, and had barely any projection. It's a crisp, green rose scent for the most part, a Spring appropriate rose that is thankfully not smothered in a variety of fruits.The variety of reviews show how different we are in how we experience scent and how it lives on our bodies. This really grew on me and I now wear it almost constantly which is unusual for me. "My" Florabotanica is predominantly rose in a fresh, modern way that is nothing like Grandma's bathroom air freshener. It lasts a really long time and I don't get tired of it.
After a long night of clubbing and barhopping at the trendiest clubs in the city, my friends said they wanted to show me something extraordinarily beautiful, but that I'd have to be sneaky to see it. Since "adventure" balenciaga socks shoes is my middle name, I loved the idea. We jumped a thick brick wall, and by the light of the full moon, found ourselves in the most sumptuous overgrown English garden, full of all kinds of flowers, herbs and shrubs roses, violets, lavender, lily of the valley, petunias, hydrangeas, verbena, mint just to name a few. The garden must have been over an acre because it seemed to take a long time to walk across it. As we crossed the garden, we passed a big mansion that looked abandoned, like the mansion in Dark Shadows.
