ÿþA very interesting edition announced for September 2012 and asos fila disruptor aimed at younger audience arrives from the Balenciaga Company. Balenciaga , in collaboration with Coty, Prestige and IFF created the new fragrance FLORABOTANICA which attracts attention with its modern, attractive flacon and unusual ingredients.This is a delightful mystical forest full of green grass and tall trees ripe with life. Purple and yellow flowers and fairies riding on Lily pads. I feel like I'm in the middle of summer right now.
I was debating whether 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 blue fila shoes 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.
My absolute favourite scent now. I can't stop sniffing myself when I'm wearing it blue fila trainers (OK, I know that sounds weird, but as fellow Fragranticans you get me I'm sure). I was first attracted to the beautiful packaging - and the fragrance truly does reflect the modern depiction of ornamental flowers leaves and vines. I agree with VQueenLeigh. There just isn't anything on the market like this. It is dense without being overpowering, and the rose and carnation mix always gets me in. I think the magic ingredient for me is the mint. If you haven't seen this incredibly beautiful flacon, take a look at it in bright light. It has an almost prism effect.
I've got it sitting in pride of place on a mirror so the various colours cheap fila in the flacon bounce around like the visual equivalent of an echo. Gosh, I sound poetic. That's what Florabotanica does to me. A perfume buyer for a local supplier said this is discontinued. I have had no reply from Coty which owns Balenciaga. Does anyone know? I'll be hoarding gallons of it if this is true.Balenciaga florabotanica opens very green,cool and woody,definitely unisex but soon rose starts to show up and becomes the most dominant note.in dry down there is just a hint of green notes besides dominant rose,sweetened and warmed delicately with amber I usually hate green scents but strangely I don't dislike green undertone of florabotanica.
From hate to love. This is my story in short. Never happened to me before. Smelled it first time when it came out - absolutely hated it, put it on my 'dislikes' list and never looked back. Until recently, when I reached for it while testing other Balenciaga scents. The world must have changed for me in the last 3 years, because I loved it. Had to have it immediately. I am charmed to the bone. Great quality. The bottle itself is a wonderful work of art, the pop-artsy minimalistic style of the bottle contrasts with the organic flowers on the box. Long lasting with a decent sillage. I am NOT a rose fan.
I seriously expected a vampire to come out and greet me. In the center of the garden, there was a long thin cheap fila shoes reflecting pool with shimmering moonlight. Because the mansion and garden were overgrown and unkempt, the effect was beautiful, lush, and frightening! To make it worse, when I asked my friends where we were, someone said that it was an insane asylum! Within moments, we heard dogs barking, and someone shouted, "RUN!" so we ran and jumped back over the fence just in time. When I heard that the house of Balenciaga was releasing this fragrance, that the concept would be a strange garden with dangerous flowers, and that Kristen Stewart, a vampire, was the spokesperson, I was definitely intrigued.
