Not Your Grandmothers Floral -Florabotanica Balenciaga Perfume

FloraBotanica Balenciaga

 “The wearer is beautiful but dangerous, like some rare botanical species”

I pride myself on being a fragrance connoisseur. I love to have different scents for all the seasons as well as scents for different occasions. Florabotnica Balenciaga is definitely not your grandmothers Floral perfume. Unlike scents from the past, this one is super complex and takes you on a rollercoaster ride throughout the Hidden Garden.

Florabotanica evokes ambivalent bewitching beauty. Velvety and thorny, flirting with hemp and vetiver roots. The scent is flowery, developed on a rose note with a narcotic hemp twist.

This fragrance is not for the faint of heart. Some may think it’s a bit strong, but that’s exactly what I love about it. It starts off powerful, green with a hint of wood. After about 30 minutes it starts to soften to a powdery rose. This is one of those fragrances that you would be fine just spraying in the air and walking through. It’s so intricate that it can be worn both day and night and you’d never feel out of place.

The notes are Carnation, Wild Mint, Turkish Rose Essence, Hemp Leaves, Vetiver Roots, and White Amber. 

I feel that this is a Summer and Spring Fragrance but it can definitely be worn early fall since it does die down to a powdery rose. Florabotanica Balenciaga can be purchased at Fragrancenet.com where they have all the sizes available and in stock!

    I’ve gotten several testers of this over the last several months and I like it. You’re right, it’s not for the faint at heart and I use two spritz’s instead of four.

    It’s a beautiful bottle! I love how the pattern on the cap goes into the bottle.
