Balenciaga Florabotanica EDP

Florabotanica is an Experimental Rose with the power to endlessly charm.

The astonishing Florabotanica came to life in a four-hand score. The two composers, Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault, have written a music of scents that play on two major accords.

Balenciaga Florabotanica Eau De Parfum explores new olfactory territory with its secret florals and became a crowd favourite as soon as it was released in 2012. Florabotanica is soft, unique and irresistibly Parisian in its packaging.

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. Strange-coloured plants discovered in distant countries brought back from their travels by enthusiastic biologists.

The highly graphic black and white stripes on the bottle echo a signature dear to Cristóbal Balenciaga and the visions of extremely contemporary cuts of which Nicolas Ghesquière is fond in his designs. The oversized tube with bold lines plunges into the floral perfume like a laboratory test tube looking to capture the secret essence of flowers.
