Flower by Kenzo

Flower by Kenzo is truly a masterpiece of powderiness, resins and balsams, blended effortlessly with vanilla, violet, rose, jasmine and hawthorn. To my nose, the blackcurrants and the hawthorn are the most easily notes detectable in the opening of this scent. It’s so satisfying to find a unique scent nowadays and I know that Flower by Kenzo was launched literally a quarter of century ago, but I haven’t tried it until today (potentially I am living under a rock) and I instantly feel in love with it. It’s something else than what’s currently trending on the fragrance market and I find that very refreshing. Might be slightly controversial, but I don’t find the scent dated or smelling old fashioned. I find it super intriguing, alluring and captivating. This can be found incredibly cheap nowadays and I recommend to all ladies which haven’t tried it yet to give it a shot. I have hundreds of perfumes in my collection, but nothing similar to Flower by Kenzo... No clue if it’s still popular with older generations but at least on social media isn’t. I didn’t heard anything about it. Deserves so much more love and attention at least online. Will be adding a bottle of this gorgeousness to my collection as fall season approaches. It’s not the summeriest out of all fragrances, even though it’s called Flower. For me it’s something new, different that totally worth the money. And needs more hype so that the newer generations of perfume enthusiasts will catch up with the greatness of the older designers releases!!!

I have tested it in a perfume store, This fragrance is strong Powdery Incense flory with a musk cames from the background. Powdery scent here like powder of compact powder, or makeup scent. One of the most beautiful powdery of makeup fragrance. Also, flowers here are very pure fragrance. Powdery Incense flory musk fragrance give you feeling of feminine, If you didn't smell this perfume before, I advise you can blind buy if you prefer strong clear powdery perfumes like powder comes from makeup. This fragrance suitable to wear it at night, in winter or Autumn seasons,, It lasts 8 hours on the leather and one day on clothes. لقد جربته في متجر للعطور، هذا العطر عبارة عن رائحة قوية بودرية مع البخور والمسك الموجودان في الخلفية، نوتة البودرية هنا مثل مساحيق التجميل أو رائحة المكياج. من أجمل عطورالمساحيق البودرية، وأيضًا الزهور هنا رائحتها نقية جدًا. رائحة البودرية و البخور مع الزهور والمسك يعطيان شعورًا بالأنوثة، إذا لم تشمِ هذا العطر من قبل، أنصحك بإمكانك شراؤه شراء أعمى إذا كنتِ تفضلين العطور البودرية القوية الواضحة مثل البودرية التي تأتي من المساحيق التجميلية. هذا العطر مناسب لارتدائه ليلاً أو في فصلي الشتاء أو الخريف، ويدوم 8 ساعات على الجلد ويوم واحد على الملابس.

My relationship with this fragrance is quite biased — it’s practically my first perfume. I received it as a gift for my 16th birthday in the winter of 2000. To tell the truth, I was given two fragrances at that time — Flower and J’adore. However, I gave the latter to my mother, while I repurchased Kenzo several times. The fragrance remains as magnificent as ever. I have recently purchased it again and I confirm it’s still wonderful. However, I didn’t really connect with the flankers in the form of eau de toilette and other Poppy versions. This is an amazing powdery composition that makes me feel particularly comfortable. By its nature, it reminds me of Guerlain L’instant Magic, as if Kenzo refined and improved the formula. It’s an absolutely stunning powder fragrance that I feel very comfortable wearing. I find it remarkably similar to Guerlain L’instant Magic, as if Kenzo has perfected the scent. It’s suitable for any occasion and doesn’t give me a headache. It’s particularly magnificent during cold winter months. P.S. By the way, J’adore now also holds an honorable place in my collection, and I enjoy using it.

I want to open by saying that this is such an uplifting fragrance and I have really needed that boost recently. It is yet another beloved perfume that reminds me of ballet (and the music of Mazzy Star). I have always been thoroughly enamored of this perfume since I first bought it, especially the opening with that cool violet and pink pepper, but I have had some conflict about whether or not I felt the dry down was too sweet and I would often enjoy the opening and then remove it. At least at this time, I find the musky vanillic powder to be sheer even though it does remind me a bit of vanilla bean ice cream in the nicest way (and I am really not a gourmand lady at this point and too much sweetness bothers me now). Whatever the case may be, I am totally in sync with Flower at this time. Last year I wore this perfume to hold my dear sweet little old black cat Lola in my arms when she was gently sent off to be given a cuddle by the likes of Saint Francis and Saint Gertrude. I like to think of it that way, at any rate. She was the best of cats and the most beautiful of creatures. This perfume really is pure joy.

I think it's really cool that Kenzo have tired to create what they think the smell of a poppy is. Apparently it doens't have a scent so, the concept is great! This opens with a huge burst of powder! This is all violet, creamy powdery tones but still modern smelling. Not vintage in anyway. The two scent molecules in the base are quite interesting. Hedione is used to give this extra sillage and it really works. This one leaves a lovely trail behind you. The other one Cyclosal is used a lot when working with Iris so..I'm wondering if that's adding to the powder here? Up close it smells a lot richer, still soft..but richer. U[p close is the only time I can really tell there's something deeper in here, but in the air? Powder bomb. Once the powderyness calms down a bit, this perfume starts to smell really weird but I love it. It smells like play doh dipped in vanilla....with some floral powder over the top. This is how it smells on lots of people I've smelled it on, but others? I have smelled more of a bouquet. I like it's clean feel, simple but effective..and very comforting and cozy. :)
