The Rose perfume by Balenciaga: Rosabotanica. There is no doubt about it, flowers are by far the undisputed stars of perfumery. For hundreds of years they have managed to enhance feminine beauty.
Rosabotanica, the continuation of the exploration of Balenciaga's garden. Rosabotanica is a perfume by the house Balenciaga that follows the very famous Florabotanica. This one sees the flower in a more intimate way and works the rose under an unexpected facet. Here it is not a question of romanticism but rather its spicy, nervy and searing side. Balenciaga seems to have captured the beauty of nature to lay it against the skin of a woman eager to radiate beauty. Its main asset is its naturalness. Here, the fragrance is precisely dosed. It does not overdo things. It simply becomes a kind of second skin.

The mysterious world of Balenciaga
Rosabotanica is a perfume that invites us to explore Balenciaga's garden more deeply. It takes us to a mysterious place filled with rare plants. The bouquet of scents offered to us is extraordinary. Also, it is the beautiful Kristen Stewart, face of the campaign for the house, who serves as our guide on this initiatory journey. While the predecessor of Rosabotanica blended various scents, here it is above all the rose that is honored. It is presented under a fresh eye, worked in a vegetal way but above all very contemporary. It is in the image of the woman who wears this fragrance, fresh and luminous. In every circumstance she appears radiant and glows with unmatched beauty. Her perfume is far more than a scent she leaves in her wake, it is for her a true second skin. The Rosabotanica woman is spontaneous, as fresh as a flower in full bloom on a spring day and ready to reveal to us a whole range of emotions. Her natural glow gives off an unmatched aura that becomes absolutely fascinating.
The spicy aspect of Rosabotanica
At the heart of this enchanted world, a rose is born. It is treated in its most vegetal aspect and delivers spicy accents. Its top notes are incisive and are notably composed of citrus and pepper. However, this sharp edge is offset by the milkier aspect of fig leaves. The rose, for its part, truly bursts forth in its heart. Rosabotanica treats it in an experimental way. It only becomes fresher and more brilliant. Moreover, it is enriched by the very pronounced scent of hyacinth as well as the camphorous effluvia of cardamom. The sillage of Rosabotanica, for its part, is deeper and more intimate. It combines amber and white wood. Its sensuality only becomes more enveloping. The bottle of Rosabotanica is in keeping with the fragrance. It resembles no other and celebrates the delicacy of nature in a striking modernity. Its cap is oversized compared to the rest of the bottle. Its design thus appears even more avant-garde. While the case itself is colored with flowers, the cap, on the other hand, is very sober. It is simply adorned with black and white lines. In sum, it gives off a wholly poetic power.

Kirsten Stewart - Balenciaga Rosabotanica
The actress Kirsten Stewart is found once again embodying the new perfume Rosabotanica by Balenciaga, as she did during the first opus Florabotanica. Well known for her role in the famous series Twilight. Balenciaga chose her for her irritable youth and her rebellious femininity.
Kirsten Stewart has a true personality, notes Nicolas Ghesquière. She captivated me when we met a few years ago. I had not forgotten her. She is the embodiment of a certain idea of Balenciaga. She has that beauty which is at once pure and uncontrollable. We met again for Florabotanica. She fully represents this graceful and mysterious person who symbolizes this strange botanical garden.
