The dry down on me just makes my mouth water. This balenciaga shoes was a blind buy just for the bottle but I was pleasantly surprised by the juice. I own Balenciaga B and that has a Tea vibe witch is nice but THIS has stolen my heart.This perfume is great it's one of my to go to during spring and summer and the longevity is and silage is amazing. But I'm not sure if I'm the only one who is finding it a bit expensive in the market at the moment. May be I' wrong or maybe Balenciaga has decided to discontinue the product. Which in this case they would be making a mistake as it does so well.
I can detect tiny amount of sweetness which makes it more feminine but it's still a cool scent.as time passes rose becomes more powdery,not in an old,dusty way.it's still fresh and modern.it feels clean,softly powdery,even slightly soapy but in the best possible way.not a sharp,musky soapy scent,it's silky,cool,a bit minty and smells amazing.honestly I can't get enough of it's drydown Florabotanica is modern and artistic as it's bottle suggests,if balenciaga trainers you don't pay attention to it's different phases you may think it's a very simple one.all in all it's an ageless,fresh and cold rose scent with just a little amount of clean,soapy powder and a bit of green,earthy undertone.it goes from a dewy opening to an almost dry undertone and while being a very clean scent one may feel it has some balenciaga runners sort of earthy,soily dirtyness.
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 am also quite taken with Florabotanica's balenciaga speed trainer 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.
I can't imagine this sickening anybody nearby. I smell clean and pretty. Addendum: I've gone back to edit this review because I'd like to add that I think Balenciaga has a quality-control problem. I've had experience now with three different bottles of the EDP. The large one, that I love, smells mostly of roses. The small travel bottle that was packaged with my large bottle is a very different scent. It's boring and cheap smelling. These came packaged with body lotion. I bought them at Nordstrom. The first time I tried Florabotanica it was another scent entirely. In that bottle it was the mint that predominated. At this point I think our reviews are differing so much from one another primarily because we're not actually smelling the same thing.
It's definitely the scent to wear in the garden of a spooky insane asylum in a full moon!Rose is one of my biggest soft spots when it comes to balenciaga triple s fragrances. I didn't try out Florabotanica when it first came out, but when I finally did get around to testing it I knew I needed to have it. A majority of rose fragrances are quite simple, but this is what I think makes them so lovable. They never feel like you are going overboard with them. Florabotanica has a little more edge to it than some of my other roses such as Rose 4 Reines, Rose Essentielle EDT Rosee, and Chloe. They are all quite simple and pretty delicate, which is why I find others enjoy them so much.
