Rosabotanica

Balenciaga Rosabotanica is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Jean-Christophe Hérault. Rosabotanica opens with Hyacinth, Petitgrain, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, Rose, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Balenciaga's Rosabotanica carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't a demure rose, it's a wild, untamed garden. Rosabotanica is a divisive but much-loved green-spicy-woody floral that manages to be both unique and universally missed since its discontinuation. It's an acquired taste, but once you're in, you're obsessed.

About

Rosabotanica opens with a surprisingly sharp, green bite of fig leaf and petitgrain, quickly joined by the zing of grapefruit and a piquant flutter of pink pepper and cardamom. The rose here is not sweet or jammy; instead, it's a 'messy', herbal bloom, almost earthy. Vetiver and cedar in the base provide a woody, aromatic foundation, softened by a hint of amber for a sophisticated, lasting dry-down.
