    Hmmmm, Nicholas Ghesquiere mentions that the fragrance is based on a a dangerous, strange, nasty garden and then Kristen likes the fragrance because is light, clean and pretty. Oh well…

    I love this. These Balenciaga fragrances always seem to accomplish the conceptual brief in the final product.

      They do a good job. Not sure this is really a “strange flower” scent, but it’s close enough 🙂

        Yes, it’s not really strange but there are some “off” notes.

    LOL @ Kristen Stewart so not caring about perfume. Before the ad campaign, she didn’t wear perfume. Her comment about this being easy to wear sounds naive but is also spot on.

    I am interested to try this.I don’t know much about Kristen Stewart except about the latest scandal I saw in the press.But, this ad the interview with her she seemed so dull there was no passion or excitement in her voice or expression in her face.Blah
