Charlotte Gainsbourg to Front Balenciaga Scent

[thebestchicken]

Has any of you bought the perfume ? I got a sampler while buying make up yesterday, I like it ! I've been using the first one for more than a year now.

I'm going to buy a bottle, but does any of you know if they will give little pouches or anything like the first time ? I still use the first one as a coin purse for my british pounds lol

I'm interested to smell this one.

I finally found an offer with the little pouch ! I got a pouch from the first perfume launch, like, two years ago, and it was really pretty, so I wanted to get one of those too. It is even better, it is really bigger, and the quality is really nice for a freebie ! I found this pic on Ebay, if any of you is interested, I will take pictures of mine tomorrow. The color is nicer IRL.

It is 15x 8 cm.

Doesn't sound very interesting, but not surprised.
Florabotanica was easy to forget, nothing special.

I wear Florabotanica all the time, and have smelled the new fragrance (whilst at the Bal boutique). It was nice, a clean/crisp scent, but I do prefer Florabotanica. Of course, my all time fave is Hermes 24 Faubourg!
