Blossom Perfumery 468 Florabotanica is an Eau de Parfum. 468 Florabotanica opens with Mint, settles into a heart of Rose, Carnation, and Cannabis, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vetiver. Blossom Perfumery's 468 Florabotanica carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Balenciaga Florabotanica is a strange, memorable green floral, and No.468 does a fair job of sketching its outline: a sharp mint opening giving way to rose, carnation and that unusual cannabis-leaf accord that made the original stand out from typical florals in 2012. The dupe captures the first hour well, especially the herbal-green sharpness, but it flattens out quicker than the real thing, losing the mossy, slightly bitter green undertow that carries Florabotanica's heart. The base of vetiver and amber is serviceable but generic, missing the earthy complexity that made the designer version feel a little dangerous. For anyone who liked the idea of Florabotanica but never got round to buying it, this is a reasonable taster of the concept - just don't expect the same longevity or depth once the mint burns off.
