Florabotanica Balenciaga Eau de Parfum

The latter is a real concentrate of seduction unlike any other perfume on the market. Far from being too commercial, it seems that Florabotanica has managed to squeeze into a still little explored breach to build a fragrance revisiting the already well-known theme of floral scents.

Balenciaga offers us a magical picture

Nicolas Ghesquière was the director of the Balenciaga fashion house from 1997 to December 2012. Also, it is to him that we owe the creation of the Florabotanica perfume. Moreover, it was also he who decided to guide the Balenciaga house in the field of perfumery. Also, he describes the creation of his perfume in these terms: “There is a real duality in Balenciaga, between classicism and experimentation. For this perfume, I wanted to go further in the exploration of this paradox, the pure and the enigmatic. A few years ago, I designed a floral collection. The dresses were covered with flowers, but these flowers were neither charming nor romantic. They designed the whole silhouette. I wanted the flowers in this perfume to express this same idea. “So, Florabotanica takes us into an extraordinary garden offering a unique sensory experience. It is as if it combined in one and the same place multiple species of rare and exotic plants. Florabotanica is the scent of a woman full of mystery, both seductive but also dangerous. Florabotanica is a fragrance made of many contrasts. This is like an absolutely sublime but poisonous flower. The power of Florabotanica is such that it then seems impossible to resist. both seductive but also dangerous. Florabotanica is a fragrance made of many contrasts .

The floral complexity of Florabotanica

Florabotanica is a fragrance that was d eveloped by Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault. These two poets of perfumery have thus combined all their creativity to create a juice that is at once floral, woody and vegetal. This clearly aims to revisit the scent of the rose. This one is worked in an experimental way, which only makes it more bewitching. We are far from the bucolic and romantic image of the traditional rose. This time, it is spiced with carnation, revealing to us the impertinence of its character. Vetiver, meanwhile, reveals a darker side of his personality while moss and amber reinforce his mysterious side. A touch of mint also refreshes the Florabotanica recipe for a more energizing result. Thus, Florabotanica is a flower that we never tire of rediscovering as its complexity is endearing. Likewise, its bottle offers an absolutely sublime design. It is a very couture glass cube topped with an enormous cylinder partially plunging into its base. This one is covered in black and white stripes, a signature dear to the Balenciaga brand. Finally, the sides of this container are available in a red or blue lacquered glass that responds in mirror. The idea was then to echo the brochures found in the laboratories of botanists. an enormous cylinder partially plunging into its base.

The haute-couture house Balenciaga is particularly distinguished by a classic style regularly revisited in a daring and original twist. Until Florabotanica, Balenciaga perfumes, on the other hand, displayed more of the classicism of the label. But Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of the brand, will decide otherwise and propel the phantasmagorical composition of Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault in a universe just for him. Florabotanica clashes and surprises …

With Balenciaga Paris en 2010, Nicolas Ghesquière directed Balenciaga perfumery towards the historical and classic olfactory testimony of the brand’s values. Violets, flowers and sensual woody touches dressed the elegant and sophisticated Balenciaga woman. With Florabotanica, the colorful artistic director of Balenciaga sought much more to amaze and distinguish himself through an original scented creation, notably conceived, a rare thing in perfumery, around a fantastic tale. Because the pretty flower of a new world would be the product of a tailor who threw his sketches on the ground to give birth to flowers in spring… The story is magical, so will the perfume!

“It is true that the first perfume, launched two years ago, embodied the house in a heritage spirit. With Florabotanica, I was looking for something more narrative, a story in itself, like the ones I tell myself when designing my clothes, says Ghesquière. “& Nbsp; Madame Le Figaro on Florabotanica by Balenciaga.

A hybrid rose for the Florabotanica fragrance in the extraordinary garden …

< p> Just looking at the bottle, Florabotanica obviously reminds us of research and laboratory work, which gives it an air of perfume of the future but also reminds us that the flowers grown in its bottle are indeed from meticulous work by perfumers.

Indeed, the composition of Florabotanica is particularly centered on the work of an absolutely unknown rose, of a rose which, moreover, did not exist before the perfume. This rose that Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault have chosen to name Experimental Rose will be the central point around which the other ingredients will settle in order, in particular, to affirm its freshness and delicacy.

< p> Mint is offered at the head to open Florabotanica on a breath of freshness which will be extended by the famous rose so enigmatic and so emblematic of the heart. Rare thing, the rose will then be worked under its hottest facets but also the most vivid by associating with new scents of geranium and carnation. Finally, the woody depths play out to create a little more the mystery of this original perfume while not forgetting to marry the touch of violet emblematic of Balenciaga perfumes.

“Florabotanica is a strange and wonderful garden of which it is not known whether these flowers are naive or poisonous. “Balanciaga for Florabotanica.
