Which Should You Buy?
This cult classic is a divisive beast: a potent, green rose that evokes a fresh botanical garden with an edgy, almost illicit undertone. Its discontinuation has left a void, elevating it to mythical status despite its challenging notes for some.
No.468 borrows Balenciaga Florabotanica's odd mint-rose-cannabis green accord almost note for note, but the herbal edge fades fast and the finish collapses into a plain vetiver-amber base instead of the original's mossier, more textured green.
