I wear the pants!
After my first comment in the platform was unfortunately a polemic comment against an Escada fragrance, I am happy to leave my second comment for this Balenciaga fragrance, which caught my attention.
It was first tested in August, at the almost unbearable temperatures of southern Europe. I may be a Southerner, but I can't stand intense heat myself. Shortly after I tested the fragrance, I read a few comments here. "Cucumber salad with dill" was the comment of MarieTheres and I became sceptical! I didn't want to smell like cucumber salad! But there was really something to it (but not so extreme, I thought)! It was because of the acrid and fresh scent and the outside temperature!
After a few hours, we became friends. And he held on for a long time, I thought that was great. At these temperatures of over 30 degrees, it was a refreshment without citrus, without "soap". Green fruity and slightly woody.
But I didn't buy it until mid-September - the temperatures in Germany were already lower. And that's why the smell suddenly felt different (no cucumber salad :D)! Tart and dry, strongly woody in my case, less green, which is why I would describe it as fruity-woody rather than green-fruity.
By the way, the bottle is, as with the whole series by B. Balenciaga, great! an expressionist art object that I like to look at.
Summary: The core of this fragrance is strong, its exterior soft. Not typically feminine fragrance. I show my femininity, but I keep my pants on!
