He is wonderful and definitely a darling every days. Suitable for everyday life in the office as well as for the evening. Only: Florabotanica awakens in me a longing for a far journey, in distant lands where opulent flowers bloom, where exotic fruits grow, where the sun burns hot all year round, where the sea roars wildly, where green forests stretch endlessly... Ingredients had read. So this combination I have not smelled in the form before and I really have to say, I was on it to betray my beloved Chanel Cristalle :-), At first I thought that this was a completely new fragrance, but then I saw that the already exists since 2012. So, after the perfunctory flanker to Balenciaga Paris, L’Essence, we have Florabotanica. It was composed by perfumers Olivier Polge (who also created Balenciaga Paris) and Jean-Christophe Hérault. The inspiration behind Florabotanica is described by Balenciaga as “ not just a pretty flower, but a pretty dangerous flower.” This time Balenciaga took no risks. If you find transparent roses dangerous, then yes, I suppose that Florabotanica is right on the mark. I found it just pretty and meek.

Amber makes this freshness soft after 1 to 2 hours and the fragrance changes from "freshly showered" to "freshly creamed". In this late autumn, which is still relatively warm, I still have no desire for cuddly fragrances. But summer scents are also out for me now. So we had to find another "in-between thing". Woman never has the right thing - neither to wear nor to scent. But that is not so, the two fragrances can not really compare. Cristalle is and remains my great love. I could not initially elicit what smelled so good here. But it smelled, smelled, just wonderful. Later I came then on it that it was rose with mint, but only when I had read here the The bottle is the only element of the whole thing that’s distinctive. When I held that heavy rose tinted cube in my hand, I felt even more disappointed that the perfume turned out to be so tame and bland.Caladia leaf, yes how does that smell the? Probably it is the green that I perceive. But it is not specifically recognizable to me. I smell it all day long, and I don't need to spray it again. Never before have I received so many compliments for a fragrance. The fragrance is not sweet, no you can not say that. He is slightly floral, very creamy and slightly green on me!

Balenciaga Florabotanica includes notes of green leaves, hemp, carnation, mint, rose, vetiver, and amber. Available from Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and other major retailers. I don't smell mint myself. This means that I would have imagined this actually present note to be present as well. But it doesn't matter. Florabotanica simply smells pleasantly flowery, fresh, but not too fresh, and with me also powdery. Clean, but not too neat. Fortunately not too green and not too bitter. Sweet, but not. I'm not. Wishing that all of my US friends stay safe, dry and prepared as the storm approaches! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be ok. I’m thinking about you!Well, what can I say: Me and FLORA! And also BOTANICA! I'm surprised it's gonna work out. I'm surprised myself. Because the scent is really beautiful, although I don't usually have it with flowers. And with other green stuff like stems, leaves etc. also not. Let them stay where they grow. But already with the first sprayer I was positively surprised. And I was even more surprised when my sweetheart, who is developing an ever finer nose, said in a test sniff of my arm: "He has something, something individual. Smells really good!" Well, and he's right!
