Balenciaga’s perfumes

Smell great, offend no one!

As much as we fragrance people would love to smell bold and daring, there are times and places where beast frags are not allowed, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it. Work, office, hospital, whatever. We all know THESE PLACES. The point is, we still want to smell good and I am here to help. I have five scents that are appropriate in places where you are not supposed to wear anything! Fragrance-wise. So, here they are in no particular order. Smell amazing and offend no one!

Infusion d’Iris Prada
If you have not heard about Infusion d’Iris, you are living under a rock. Infusion d’Iris is THE ICON of Prada’s private collection. It is not your girly girl but rather a classy lady in a clean white linen T-shirt. She just washed her hair, feels refreshed and looking forward to a new exciting day. It is also your woody powdery old school smell at its prime. Totally harmless.


Flora Botanica Balenciaga
Where Infusion d’Iris is old school, there Flora Botanica is timeless. Flora Botanica has the ability to give an impression you are not wearing anything. It is your silent companion, your partner in crime. The note profile is fresh, slightly spicy with mint carnation, rose, cannabis, vetiver and amber blended so carefully in small doses, leaving a green, crisp and clean finish. Top work fragrance.

White Tea Elizabeth Arden
Tea fragrances are made for an office-friendly environment. White Tea has the same effect as Flora Botanica but is a little bit sharper and more aromatic, giving out marine vibes. The notes are sea, fern, sage, white tea, iris, woods, tonka bean and amber. It is the most unisex option.

Narciso Narciso Rodriquez
There is nothing wrong with a hint of musk at a workplace. Narciso’s musk melts into your skin and creates this slightly sweet baby like woody composition, a natural skin smell giving an aroma. Give it some wear test to see if it clicks with your body chemistry. Narciso Rodriquez knows how to make musk in all its forms.

O d’Azur Lancome
Old school citrus that fit the scenario perfectly. Casual, free-spirited, evoking French countryside. You get to sniff your citruses, pine trees, sea breeze … all in a light peaceful way. It is a summer vacay scent with no traces of terrible sun tanning coconut gourmands that I cannot stand.

Infusion d’Iris, White Tea and Narciso fall into a floral woody musk category. Flora Botanica is green floral and O d’Azur floral-fruity. Good luck to you all. I hope you find a scent that you can pull off at work without ruining your colleague’s day.

Florabotanica Balenciaga

Florabotanica brings new modern ingredients to the table. It consists of mint, carnation, rose, cannabis, vetiver and amber. It’s an intensive Floral Green – fresh, sharp and crispy. Later, it turns more powdery and comfy.

Florabotanica is clean as a fresh shower yet bold and fierce, a nice companion for natural beauty. Ideal for French ladies who want to hide that they made an effort and are actually wearing a perfume. Suitable for day time spring and summer.

I like Florabotanica. I can imagine myself wearing it every day to work without being overly sweet and offensive. It’s also something different. Not a typical fresh scent. It has the modernity, timelessness and courage that some of the other Floral Greens are missing.

A bold fresh floral for everyday use. A tiny secret garden. There is something intriguing about it. 80/100
