Eau de Fleur de Prunier

I'm a fruity floral edging towards woody and this perfume, for me at this time, is divine. It's soft and enveloping, like a whisper as Moonig says,yet it's an insistent whisper which will be heard; it's gorgeously powdery and fresh and blossomy - it reminds me of standing under my mother's flowering cherry tree to have my photograph taken every year. Lasts a good 4-5 hours on me with good projection. Soft, sweet, nutty very powdery heaven while retaining a softly clean and fresh blossom feel. I've worn this for about 4 weeks now and it's become a favourite.

Japanese plum thoughtfulness. The essence of a plum flower. Only here, the plum petals seems to have fallen into the loose powder. Very gentle, contemplative-calm, urban, with an aftertaste of cleanliness. And it's not recognizable.

A tender kiss; Soft, delicate & sweet yet long enough to truly blossom. This poetic fragrance is a pleasure to wear. It's a dewy breeze of plum blossoms, perfect as a daytime scent.

In the delicate line dedicated to flowers and uncomplicated beauty Kenzo brought the secret of another flower, after the magnolia, the silk flower and the tea. The plum flower, under the name Eau de Fleur de Prunier is the latest introduction featuring the scent of a very particular tree. Like the others, the fragrance is very light, very easy to wear and very airy, almost evanescent. It is built around a very fresh rose with a light juicy pear green top that goes into a warm heart very fruity like nectarine peach with almost a deep honey and quince note and something light powdery. In the first moments it is very close to the scent of natural apple blossom but then the light fruity elements take control over the composition and even the light almond note (present in the kernel, not the flower) is featured. It seems less a perfume and more a pleasant body spray for a light veil of a delicate scent, similar to the flower rain of petals when plum trees are in bloom in Japan. The plum flower is featured in many oriental teas (mixed with green tea) as well as an extract used in medicine. The alcohol made from the fruits (eau de vie) could be used in a perfume instead of regular alcohol to bring more particular notes. My only critique is that this beautiful idea reminds me the scent of a precious shampoo.

I was surprised with this scent. Only three ingredients and it's not a simple fragrance. It seems to stay close to skin, while in fact it radiates and I can detect it in the room where I was before. It shows up and disappears on me, somehow reminding me of Eccentric Molecules with it. The fragrance is like a plum tree, at first only flowers in bloom, then also a wood like in a tree trunk. A tree in bloom or a wooden bench in the garden, in the early afternoon. The fragrance is a darker one, and it becomes darker and darker, mysterious yet pleasant. In the end it gets more sweet. I can also detect a bit chemical notes. It's an apparent simplicity and it's minimalism.
