About this deal

Synthetic" can be a dirty word in many instances - the beauty industry in general for example - but in perfumery, lab-created molecules often push the boundaries, giving rise to creative, even futuristic compositions.

I just had to run an errand and while walking I could smell the sillage and projection of this from at least an arm's length away. She was always so chic and elegant, I loved chatting to her about makeup-usually behind my mom’s back, as I wasn’t really allowed to even touch makeup at that time- she was actually the one who introduced me to lip-liner as well. I was excited to try this perfume being a fan of fresh and spicy notes but this turned out to be a cloying rose bomb.Inspired by a strange and wonderful garden in which you do not know whether the flowers are innocent or poisonous, Florabotanica from Balenciaga evokes the 18th Century botanical gardens in which the most exotic and rarest plant species were displayed. If I do decide to purchase it I'll probably get the gift set from Saks or Nordstrom which comes with the 3. The rose is so lush, yet fresh, which I'm sure comes from the Vetivier and Carnation, that I definitely notice. Despite the votes saying that this is a spring/summer scent, I think that it is a little too much in the sun and heat and would fare well in an office/work setting.

com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. It has something "different" that is hard to describe, a unique combination, it brings me to daydreams that I never had before. Only once you start going out with someone meaningful, do you realise the importance of keeping an item of their clothing due to their scent… it’s not psychotic at all I promise you, but if it is then we can be cray-cray together as I did the same with Graham’s t-shirts haha :D On the other hand, it can be so off-putting as well, so many teenage boys drench themselves with cheap aftershave around here and boy is it enough to put a girl off for life! The rose I do get- the most inoffensive, dewy, sanitised teen-friendly red rose; like a flower preserved in resin.

Unfortunately, this turns weird, headache and puke inducing and downright awful real fast (on my skin) and from then until it finally disappears (which by the way takes forever 14-18 hours on my skin), it is just linear herbaceous/sharp/metallic and 🤢🤮. Present day I love it, idk if the fragrance has settled in the last couple months or my nose has gotten better at picking up notes but I can now smell the beauty of it.

To me this is the scent of small fresh rose buds, right before they pop, equally green and rosy smelling. I find the cannabis note in this a lot more tolerable than the one in Maison Margiela's Music Festival. You have a magical way with words :) It’s lovely how “Miracle” is still a favourite of yours to this day. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. The fact that it’s a fresher scent, I was worried about the performance and longevity but it’s remarkably very long lasting and decent in performance!You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws). I did try something freshener by Chanel- Chance but I was completely disappointed by performance and longevity and immediately thought fresh perfume were not for me. It reminds me of the therapeutic bliss of heavy rain on a garden: the grassy soil is wet and you are smelling the thorny pink roses among the invading mint foliage, if you come closer both these scents intertwine with the waft of icy air and petrichor and imprints on memory forever.
