Balenciaga B. Balenciaga EDP

This perfume is elegant, laid-back and crisp. It smells like a spring garden or a walk through the forest after a rainfall, with beautiful green and woody notes framed by floral hints of lily of the valley. It has a contemporary, fresh vibe to it making it perfect for day-to-night. It has just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the crisp and tartness of the green. Quite natural and subtle too, nothing synthetic or artificial about it.  In terms of how long the perfume lasts, I usually can't smell it on myself after a few hours, but then randomly towards the end of the day I might move around a bit and suddenly get hints of the green and floral again. I think the perfume does last quite a long time, but just fades gradually, so that it is no longer so present. I love that this perfume makes me feel like a classier, yet more laid-back version of myself. I took a star off because I'm still at the age where I mostly gravitate towards girlier scents. But I would 100% recommend this perfume to the sophisticated, classy woman looking for a more sensual signature perfume.
