Floralista

It's one of the few perfumes from Kenzo that I can say I like, I could say it's really, that is surprisingly coming from Kenzo, a feminist fragrance, no, it's not for office or meeting or when you want to express like a powerful leader, woman, individual, it's a free spirit vacation day. I can see it worn at a colorful business suit maybe a sky blue one with a white blouse in a spring day while you are in a city break vacation in a location like Vienna or Verona or Copenhagen. It is very suitable for an elegant woman in a suit but in a relaxing environment. It's a floral, woody scent, it practically smells like an apple tree that bloomed in May.

24. March 2014 Today i have tested it for the first time in tax free shop and i must say that it is a very very good floral fragrance. The notes didn't sound promising, but the actual scent is a great one and now i will get certainly several bottles of this beauty. It makes you feel like you're standing in a garden in full bloom on a warm sunny late spring day. Delicious i must say. At first it opens with a bit sour combination of apple blossom and peony, and i had fears that it might stay that way through the whole composition until the very end, but after 15-20 minutes it becomes much more softer, thanks to the peach blossom, which i didn't detect a first at all. It turns into more creamy oeachy delicate yet strong scent, which i haven' t smelled in countless other releases. Very good indeed, i enjoy it very much and surprised to see such a good fragrance made for a tax free retail. Normally these kind of fragrances are bland and generic but Kenzo positively surprised me this time. I don't smell any pear gladly, or if there IS one, it is not domnanting at all but accompanies other notes. Kenzo has made few good scents for tax free retail in the past and this is another great example. I feel like it will become one of my favorites for spring, but it is also good for autumn. Somehow i feel like it would be too strong for summer, at least for me. Longevity could be better, it lasted around 4 hours on my skin. P.S. on paper it doesn't smell at all that good as on my skin. Peach blossom note does not develope or projects much on paper, as much it doeson my skin.

Floralista was a very nice surprise! Kenzo last releases having been less than impressive to me,I was wondering, but no it smells very pretty, creamy, real nice floral, it is soft yet it lingers well.the apple blossom smells pretty, with the peony trailing behind it..after a few hours I can still smell it around me..good job on that one! it has some similarities with EL Pleasure in Bloom, although I like Floralista better, it is brighter, overall better. it is a bit sweet in the drydown, and easy to reach for. I will add the bottle is real nice too.

I like this perfume. In fact, I have a soft spot for Kenzo's fragrances. I like many of them. Floralista is great to wear in the summer, I was wearing it a lot when I was going to the beach. It's quite weak on me, and has a sour note, but it's like flowers and fruit in bloom together, very pleasant. And somehow mature. No rose here but it brings it to my mind too. Maybe it isn't the biggest masterpiece by Kenzo, yet it has charm and it's optimistic.

I absolutely loved it! The apple blossom here is a delight, as much as the pear blossom. Peony just perceptible, which is a plus if one is looking for a fragrance more prominent on the apple blossom note, as it was in my case. It's a triumph of spring, tender petals drenched in juicy pear. Pity that the fragrance does not work with my PH :(
