BALENCIAGA Florabotanica
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. The wearer is beautiful but dangerous, like some rare botanical species. Florabotanica is the fragrance of the Balenciaga botanic garden. It instills the brand with modernity and colors. While Balenciaga Paris paid tribute to the genius of Cristobal, this scent celebrates Nicolas’s futuristic perspective. The various facets of Nicolas’s inspiration are reflected in the bottle and outer box. The rich and surprising mix match of architectural lines, vivid colors, and venomous floral prints recurrent in Balenciaga’s fashion are translated into Florabotanica’s unique packaging. Notes:Carnation, Wild Mint, Turkish Rose Essence, Hemp Leaves, Vetiver Roots, White Amber. Style:Beautiful. Dangerous. Rare.

Review 1 for Florabotanica
the BEST perfume of the season
-05.19.13
Can I just say, I LOVE this perfume. It is fresh, not heavy or warm or musky at all. It's very light, green, fresh, definitely botanical without being too sweet. I was wearing it the other day and my boss came walking down the hallway and said "what smells so good?" Turns out it was my perfume. I had probably doused way too much on seeing as he could smell it all the way out in the hallway, but still. This is the perfect spring fragrance. I'm so over heavy fragrances and this is my perfect potion! I'm afraid I'm going to need another one before the season is out.

Beautiful scent!
-05.19.13
Quick Take: good value, long lasting, floral
I bought this fragrance for myself when it first came out at another store. I was so happy that Sephora began carrying it because I also got it for my mother for Mother's Day! I always get compliments when I wear it! The smallest size goes a long way.

Review 3 for Florabotanica
Smells like Chanel No. 5!
-05.16.13
As soon as I got my Sephora's sample fragrance, Florabotanica is the first perfume I tried it on. Just a little dab, it last all day!! It smells like Chanel No. 5 which makes you feel classy and diva at the same time! lol The rest are second-rate. I'll definitely get the full size bottle.

Review 4 for Florabotanica
Not for me
-05.16.13
I decided to check this fragrance out when I went to Sephora one day and it's just not for me at all. I usually love floral perfumes, which this is, but it's just too strong and musky.

Quick Take: good value
I received a sample of Florabotanica and completely fell in love with its unique scent. It is a distinctive balance between musk and floral. I wish Sephora would carry the shower gel and lotion! I haven't bought a new scent since Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely.

Review 7 for Florabotanica
My new one and only.
-05.14.13
Quick Take: long lasting, earthy
After being stuck in the girly floral category of perfume for years, I decided that I wanted to give something different a go. I was in between Florabotanica and Burburry Summer which is what I usually would have gone for. I picked Florabotanica and I love it, it lasts forever on my skin and I get so many compliments from people when I wear it.

Review 8 for Florabotanica
-05.12.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value, not overpowering, pretty scent
I'm very picky when it comes to perfumes, and have stuck with the Juicy line for years until now. I admit, I strictly wanted to try Florabotanica because its the "Kristen Stewart" perfume, but as soon as I sprayed this in store I fell in live with it! It's become my new everyday perfume and I have gotten TONS of compliments on it. And it doesn't hurt that it comes in pretty packing and a stylish bottle.

ElinaF
The most unusual scent!
-05.12.13
Let me start buy saying that I am not a flower scent kind of a person, I don't like sweet musky flowery arrangements. I prefer fresh green citrusy refreshing perfumes. I was curious about this perfume and finally decided to give it ago. I am in love, even though floral notes are present here but they are introduced with care and sophistication it is not an overwhelming scent and then it gives way to grassy undertones. Its a very different perfume and it will pronounce itself differently on every person I believe, give it a try and with sephora's great return policy you have nothing to loose!

Review 10 for Florabotanica
Beautifully feminine and floral
-05.11.13
I bought this after I received a sample, and I've been wearing it daily. It's a wonderful floral scent, but it's not light or flowery. It's a richer, more sophisticated floral, and a few sprays are good to last the day. I hate when scents fade within a few hours, and this one definitely does not.

rose perfection
-05.11.13
I smelled this on a paper swatch and hated it, but then bought the sephora favorites sampler and I'm so glad I tried it again. On my skin, it is a wonderful pure rose scent, very authentic. Probably going to choose this one to redeem for full size!

My new summer scent
-05.09.13
Quick Take: long lasting fragrance
I tried this in store and even though I bought something different I kept smelling this on my wrist all day. I ordered it online a few days later. Fun and sophisticated, slightly complex notes. Great packaging and bottle. Love it!

Review 13 for Florabotanica
Very Nice
-05.08.13
Quick Take: pleasant, pretty bottle
The main note in this one for me is the cannibus. I like that note, so it's not problem. The rest of the florals seems to recede to the back, The rose is sharp, and comes across almost like citrus.. One think I would hope for in a perfume of this price range is a little more sillage and staying power,. All it all, pleasant, but not worth the money IMO.

Wowza!!!
-05.08.13
I am very picky with perfumes and have a really hard time with perfumes still staying on my skin longer than 10 minutes. This perfume is perfect for me. It smells divine and the smell lasts until I shower. It was love at first smell!!

Review 15 for Florabotanica
AMAZING SCENT!
-05.07.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
Beautiful, sensual scent! It's not overly floral or heavy, it's the perfect balance - it has to be the Vetiver. I think young and older can wear this and throughout the year. Love this! You won't smell yourself coming and going with this one. Love it and will buy it again and again, I hope they never discontinue this scent.

Florabotanica

I love the perfume! I'm a type of person that doesn't like to follow the crowd especially with perfume. I believe everyone body scent is different. If your looking for something new and adventurous. This is the one!

Review 17 for Florabotanica
addictive and sensual
-05.02.13
Quick Take: office friendly
i was given a sample of this and decided to try it a few days ago....i was so delighted, I simply had to go and get the full size bottle....i won't elaborate much...but I do have to say it smells very much (if not exactly) like Safari by Ralph Lauren which was discontinued many moons ago......i searched high and dry for a replacement and finally in 2013 is when I've come to find it in Florabotanica. This is it, I don't need to look any further for my Spring/Summer fragrance and the bottle is a winner!

Sexiness!!
-04.26.13
This smells like nothing i've ever sniffed before, but love the way it smells on my skin, especially an hour or two later, when I noticed I cannot stop smelling my wrist. This is not for everybody, not babyish, not fruity & not sweet. More of a feminine green scent, maybe a bit powdery with some dirt thrown in for good measure like a romp in the hay, lol. Just to give u an idea I love Narciso Rodriguez for Her EDT black bottle, Diesel Loverdose, YSL Manifesto, Cartier Baiser Vole' EDP, & VS Dream Angels Heavenly to mix with all the above, and in that order. This is a tie with Narciso EDT as my all-time favourite which says a lot! Also the bottle is unique & quite pretty. I don't care for big bows or prickly flowers topping my bottles & am quite happy with a good ol' simple cap!

Quick Take: good value, exotic mysterious and provocative, elegant and classy
My daughter order some nail polishes by mail, and along with them she received some perfume samples one of them was flora botanica by balenciaga since I remember the great designers name , at first when I tried the smell was so strong and remind me of an old rich lady after an hour or so it changed into this beautiful mysterious and provocative fragrance with out been overpowering, and noticed that it last for along time, my favorite fragance is cleopatra by toca but for now on flora has become my number one beautiful!
