Florabotanica by Balenciaga is a Floral Green fragrance for women. Florabotanica was launched in 2012. Florabotanica was created by Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault. Top note is Mint; middle notes are Rose, Carnation and cannabis; base notes are Vetiver and Amber. A very interesting edition announced for September 2012 and aimed at younger audience arrives from the Balenciaga Company. Balenciaga, in collaboration with Coty, Prestige and IFF created the new fragrance FLORABOTANICA which attracts attention with its modern, attractive flacon and unusual ingredients. The composition was developed by perfumers of the house of IFF, Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Herault, who composed it of such accords as mint, carnation, hybrid rose, caladium leaves, amber and vetiver. It was envisaged that the composition would offer floral character, which is also very seductive and its flowers will not be just beautiful, but also very dangerous. The advertising campaign is decorated with three metal sculptures resembling the Ghesquière floral print created a few years ago. Photos for the campaign were taken by Steven Meisel, and the advertising face is young actress Kristen Stewart. She is wearing a dress from the floral collection and holding her hands in her pockets. Florabotanica will be available as 30, 50 and 100 ml EDP accompanied by perfumed body care products—body lotion and shower gel.
Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance

Vetiver
Vetiver, harvested from the roots of a tall grass native to India, exudes an earthy aroma that is both dry and slightly sweet. Its scent profile ranges from smoky and leathery to green and fresh, depending on how it’s distilled and aged. This versatile note thrives in tropical climates and has long been cherished for its grounding qualities.

Amber
Amber is an olfactory illusion, conjured from labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, and other resins to evoke the sun-soaked warmth of the Mediterranean coast. Its scent is both earthy and sweet, with a powdery undertone that mimics the richness of ancient incense.

Rose
Rose, with origins traced back centuries across gardens of Turkey, Bulgaria, and Morocco, unfurls into a bouquet of floral notes — sweet, slightly tart, and deeply sensual. Its scent is both delicate and powerful, capable of evoking memories and emotions with every breath.
