Eau De Fleur de Soie

My great-grandmother had several silk flower trees, or "Mimosa" trees as southerners mistakenly call them, that I would climb and pick flowers from as a child. The opening of this perfume really does smell a bit like the pink fluffy sweetness from the trees, but sadly doesn't last long at all. The drydown scent is still realy nice and pretty. It sticks to clothes and hair fairly well, but on skin it doesn't last long. I really love this perfume and I always reach for it if I'm in a hurry or am not sure what social situation I'm headed into because it's so inoffensive. I have it as a backup signature scent because it suits me so well - sweet and non-invasive! EDIT: This smells so much like the "Wind Song" line from CVS. They layer really well, and they seem to make the Kenzo last a bit longer on me.

This is quite a pleasant flowers combination, Rose is prominent. I like the purity of rose in this perfume, which is exactly the same as Stella's floral part (just the floral part I mean). Stella has an obvious undertone of amber, which doesn't comply with my imagination on a natural, relaxing flower scent. Kenzo has successfully avoided all the heavy undertones and just focus on the beauty of rose itself. I'm a rose lover. I wish I could meet this fragrance more earlier!!! Very nice, I want a bottle.

This is lovely.. Light floral and delicately sweet. Something to wear when you don't want to smell of perfume, just want to smell nice. For me it's comparable to l'occitane cherry blossom.

I don't use to like cherry blossom, but trust me, the replacement for this is Cerisier by Yves Rocher.

I agree with the previous reviewers, Eau de soie is a delicate and soft fragrance, feminine and light, very suitable for spring/summer or even now in February, when you get tired of winter bombs :) I get clearly rose and violet from first spray which reminds me of Bvlgari Rose Essentielle, only lighter and greener and I get also a peppery note that reminds me of another beautiful underrated creation: Eau de Dupont. Sillage and longevity are rather moderate... The bottle is quite original but don't like the paper glued at the backside; I find the packaging very interesting though, opening with the flip on the side. The more I wear Kenzo(s), the more I fall in love with the brand.

I have a sample and it brings Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste to my mind because there is a connection of violet colour and green plant juices between them two. Eau de Fleur... is fresher, it may be good for spring and summer. I've tried better scents by Kenzo, so I sniff the scent with no "wow"s but it's a a nice scent, lacking something that would make it brilliant. But I don't think it wasn't meant to be brilliant, it just has to show a nice done silk tree blossom.

I just received my parcel :) it was a blind buy but damn..... it was worth it . So nice, delicate and flowery. Smells of spring blossoms and it brings back memories of me being a little girl and having fun on the meadow near my grandparents summer house...hmmmmmmm what more can I say ? i really like it and it makes a nice get away from all my other sweet and spicy fragrances. Will be happily using it in spring and summer time.

The best way to describe the opening of this scent is thinking of a clean blanket just stained with a super sweet red wine the alcoholic note in fragrance is very prominent. It's creamy, sweet-fruity, soft, flowery and ageless but nothing special I still need to try Camelia from this collection but so far the only one I find really attractive and energizing it's Eau de Yuzu all the rest are to my taste not worth the price.

i love the powdery untertone from kenzo perfumes. this one is really nice creamy-powdery-sweet, lingers very close to the skin, the flower and fruit accents are very nice mellowed, wrapped in silk feeling, but you have to layer it twice or even three times, if you want to have a better staying power. all in all it's a nicely done subtle comfy day scent, very feminine. a shame the staying power is so weak.

The Silk Tree, Albizia julibrissin, is also called "Acacia de Constantinopla". The smell of this Eau has something basic in common with the smell of mimosa, a true Acacia, but modified(damaged, in my opinion) by the fruity notes, which make it less dry and coarser. The smell of mimosa less bright, less yellow, more pink... and refreshened.

It was a blind buy since it was on a great sale I could not resist, thanks for very positive reviews it really helped to make up my mind. Wonderful scent, yes very delicate roses and flowers, definitely for those who like flower scents and just a touch of powdery but not heavy. Do wish it lastes a bit longer, but still love it.

a very nice comforting floral smell. It has this recognizable smell which a lot of floral (fruity) scents don't have. It smells like a woman you would like to hug :) (i would like to smell like that!) though it fades away sóó quickly! too bad.

Hello...I want to tell you that I'm wearing this perfume since I bought last week.It is soft, flowery,nice ...fresh...a litle alcoholic...

Just tried this as a sample and i love it. Why was it only a limited edition???!!! :( It is so fresh and i love it.

Trying this for the first time today. It is a pleasant enough scent, but it doesn't smell like silk tree flowers.

A soft floral, good for summer or spring.

WOW!! i can't beleive i had this perfume for a while just there on my bedroom desk between all my other perfumes & never tried it!! SOOOOOO! in LUV... right now i think it will be in my FAV!! ones i love the sensual scent of flowers in it i'm guess (since i'm new to reviewing perfumes) it smells like PARADISE TO ME :) a little fruity scent but just the perfect amount the Blossom scent is sooooo!! OMG! i cannot put my finger on the flowers itself but! it's just PERFECT MIX if you love sensual delicate lightly fruity & absolutely ROSE scent.. this is for you.. i'm wearing it right now & i want to smell this for ever... the staying power on me is really really good.. THANX GOD :) i'd say its for all women who like to demark & smells fresh & sweet flower

remember how pink velvet roses smell like?!they smell very soft,romantic and feminine without being tomboy,nor offensive for anybody. this perfume exactly smells like pink roses and it's very nice. the woman who chooses a fragrance like this is a perfect woman.it's not the perfume of tomboy,nor warlike.the weapon of the woman who wears it,is her feminity. it's so light,perfect for a romantic date and that's the sole mission of the perfume I assume. as the matter of fact it reminds me "Bright Crystal",but it's less fruity.it's a very goof floral fragrance for those who like light perfumes.

Very very gentle, timide opening as if the silkflower is asking "Can I come out and play" In the sun that is because this is a summerperfume. Dries down to a and gets very powdery but at this stage cant say I smell any of the notes. Wow this fume is high maintenance one. Dissapear so you need to have a special perfumebutler that spritzes you every 5 minutes. A pitty - the smell is wonderful.

Rosellini-in-love Rosellini-in-love This is lovely.. Light floral and delicately sweet. Something to wear when you don't want to smell of perfume, just want to smell nice. For me it's comparable to l'occitane cherry blossom. Nov 16 2012 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AGREED! Clean, fresh, not overly sweet. Good for the very young, but not juvenile.
