Hi everyone, happy weekend! Today I have a rather unusual product to review – The Balenciaga Florabotanica Eau de Parfum Spray. I hardly review fragrances as I am really not that great describing scents, but I like this one very much so I thought I’ll share my two cents with you.
“Balenciaga Florabotanica is inspired by the woman who is beautiful but dangerous like many rare botanical flowers. This new scent twists Turkish rose with hemp and vetiver roots for an addictive trail”.
A lot of floral fragrances can smell too sweet for me, but this one is very unique, complex yet feminine. I didn’t think it was my type of scent when I first sampled it, but it grew on me day to day. So I bought the 100ml (3.4oz) bottle in the end! I would describe the first note as a fresh floral scent with a hint of violet, leaf and mint. Once it dries down, the main note becomes a powdery woody scent (vetiver) – it’s clean, sexy and slightly floral. If my ordinary description does not tick your fancy, I urge you to give it a try at a shop if you get a chance. It is such a distinctive scent! It lasts about 8-10 hours on me with 4 and 5 sprays.
This Balenciaga makeup pouch was a gift with purchase
I bought mine at David Jones for AUD$155. You can also get this at Neiman Marcus in the US.

It sounds like something i would like to try. I really like the packaging.
The pouch is gorgeous! I would almost buy it just for that, haha!
Would it be horrible of me if I just bought the perfume for that INSANELY gorgeous bag?!?
That’s a lovely GWP! I tried this perfume at Sephora, to me it smells just like turkish delight and not all that floral!
