Florabotanica Balenciaga 2012

I loved the floral motifs in the sample card and other marketing materials, and so wanted to like this one! It was not to be, however. I have nothing against florals, but on my skin Florabotanica turned so harsh and so much like soap or room freshener than I had to wash it off and put on some real perfume. Definitely not my cup of tea. Not only is this generic and not interesting (much like Vanitas and the various Guilties), it is also too harsh on my nose and wholly unsuited to the season and/or my personal tastes to warrant further testing.
