About this deal

The latest scandal involving children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage gear tacks on another ten more years of nobody wanting their perfume, so if you enjoy this simple pleasure, better do it quietly. Inspired by a strange and wonderful garden in which you do not know whether the flowers are innocent or poisonous, Florabotanica from Balenciaga evokes the 18th Century botanical gardens in which the most exotic and rarest plant species were displayed. The name of Florabotanica sums quite well how the perfume actually smells : flowers and green plants. A bit modern, a bit 70's in execution, but otherwise Florabotanica is pretty plain like a homely younger sister to Chanel Cristalle (1974).

Kind of feels like two different fragrances, and the rose isn't particularly rosy - it's more synthetic, clean and washed-over.Hell, even the recent women's selections made since Coty took over the license have seemingly entered the market, then exited just as fast, like Balenciaga is forever cursed to not keep any perfume around long enough for people to actually figure out it exists, let alone see if it's any good. Maybe you can nab one of the bottles of this so many people claimed to have trashed in protest, but I have a bit more dignity than to go dumpster diving for designer cast-offs. They blend orange blossom, ylang-ylang or other airy florals with the warmth of exotic woods, spices and resins. The mint is a novel way to open rose and gives Florabotanica a bit more unisex appeal, Galbanum and cis 3 hexanol notes are evident, giving big green energy to the scent, alongside a vase water rose note, mixed with pencil shavings cedar, vetiver, ambroxan, and a touch of carnation.

The highly graphic black and white stripes on the bottle echo a signature dear to Cristóbal Balenciaga and the visions of extremely contemporary cuts of which Nicolas Ghesquière is found in his designs. The mint contributes the greenness without giving out the chill cooling vibe like some sporty fragrances.This page will contain information related to sexual devices and accessories, including product images and details, reviews and usage guides, and we want to ensure you’re comfortable tocontinue.

The florals sweeten up a bit, and later something slightly bitter or spicy lurks under them - maybe that's the carnation.Anyway, this was composed by Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault, the son of Chanel perfumer Jacques Polge famous among "fragheads" as the original composer of DIor Homme (2005), coupled with the student of Pierre Bourdon who in more recent years has been revealed to be the perfumer behind Creed Aventus (2010), one of the online community's biggest white whales in men's scent.
