ÿþA very interesting edition announced for September 2012 and aimed at balenciaga sneakers 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.

The dry down on me just makes my mouth water. This 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 balenciaga men to discontinue the product. Which in this case they would be making a mistake as it does so well.

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 balenciaga arena 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 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 balenciaga mens trainers 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.

I definitely LOVE the bottle and I know it's one of the few bottles in my collection that I will keep. This is primarily a rose scent, a dusty English rose, but it's surrounded by a strange composition of herbs that make it fresher and lighter. The dusty rose stays throughout  from the initial spray to the dry down, but the herbs sort of take you on a tour around the garden. It's dark, aloof, and fresh, but sadly, not as scary and edgy as I had hoped. When I want to warm this up a bit, I layer it. Today, I layered with Gayle Hayman's Delicious Chocolate and it's a divine, edgier combination. It has its place in my wardrobe, but won't replace my MOR Marshmallow or Balenciaga L'Eau Rose, two of my favorites, but I still love it for its uniqueness.

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 socks shoes 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.
