About this deal

Easily one of the best bottle designs in recent history - why oh why couldn't the fragrance be a bit more interesting? Maybe you can nab one of the bottles of this so many people claimed to have trashed in protest, but I have a bit more dignity than to go dumpster diving for designer cast-offs.

la Rose by Maison Francis Kurkdjian (2014) would come along two years later and really steal any thunder this scent might have had, switching out the stemmy green aromachemicals and mint for fruitier qualities that helped unleash a whole new generation of tart rose-fruit and candy-rose perfumes in the coming years (thanks Frank. The mint contributes the greenness without giving out the chill cooling vibe like some sporty fragrances. Performance is spectacular, but the singularity of the composition might grate the nerves if you're not a lover of green rose with a slight bitchy side to it.

Florientals, such as this one, (the word is a portmanteau of floral+oriental) are voluptuous but lighter than pure orientals. Florabotanica by Balenciaga (2012) doesn't seem to be much liked in the online fragrance community; but then again, Balenciaga has long been shunned by the online collector's space for discarding its legacy in perfume, one that was once counted among pillars of the designer space like Chanel, Patou, or DIor.

The pleasant honeysuckle accord I get close to my skin keeps fragmenting into temple-achingly sweet aldehyde-coated soapy rose notes accented with raw alcohol burn.The Vetiver, Amber and Caladium Leaf accord to create a resonance of mossy and mysterious dark wood. 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 found in his designs.

This long-wearing parfum ensures a little goes a long way due to its high portion of essential oils. However, here it only acts like a supporting role, lending an earthy vibe and preventing the fragrance becoming too clean, a very clever touch! Meanwhile, Florabotanica hung out at counters unwanted and unloved except by those enthralled by its very Tim Burton-esque bottle, which I admit drew my eye as well. The vetiver, amber and caladium leaf accord create a resonance of mossy and mysterious dark wood, whilst experimental scents of rose, carnation and mint accords add an exhilarating, freshness to the fragrance. The mint is a novel way to open rose and gives Florabotanica a bit more unisex appeal, Galbanum and cis 3 hexanol notes are evident, giving big green energy to the scent, alongside a vase water rose note, mixed with pencil shavings cedar, vetiver, ambroxan, and a touch of carnation.The latest scandal involving children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage gear tacks on another ten more years of nobody wanting their perfume, so if you enjoy this simple pleasure, better do it quietly.
