Flower By Kenzo Cherry Poppy

Now this is pretty! Very pretty... perfect for spring and summer. I tested Indigo and Cherry Poppy today. Some good sprays on each under arm about 3 hrs ago. Indigo is still there, but definitely far less prominent than CP. Now that I come here and checking the notes as there was one I wouldn’t really place, which seems to be Nympheal. Never smelled it before but it’s beautiful, nothing complicated but just very pretty floral smell with a whim of freshness which is a bit aquatic. Obviously is a bit powdery like any Kenzo out there, but this one a bit less. It opens with a whim of cherry which reminded me more of cherry blossom and some strawberry sweetness and then beautifully blends with the rose and Nympheal. While typing I think that’s what you wanna think of; Nymphs, a water nymph, like a mermaid 🧜♀️ that’s what I think of when I smell it...gracious, pretty, sweet floral but with a hint of aquatic freshness. I think I will add this to my collection soon. I am impressed and I need something to replace my almost empty bottle of Issey Miyake - Shades of Kolam, which I love to wear in summer, but unfortunately is discontinued and I am getting similar vibes from it. I would definitely recommend checking it out! UPDATE: went back to the store and gave myself some proper sprays with my scarf.. hours later still there! And then it clicked; I think I have found my dupe for Chloe Love Eau Florale! Of course it’s not identical but it comes very close! 💞 this one might be a bit sweeter but overall very similar!

Joyful, sweet fruits served with the elegance of the original, yet with a touch more playfulness. Feminine, charming, and well-balanced. Quiet and intimate on the skin, in a distinctly Japanese way, lasting all day. A beautiful fragrance and a worthy member of the Flower family.

Tried it in the store today. Smelled very nice and perfect for spring! Fresh, gentle. Might actually getting it 😇 Update: I got it! Very youthful and flirty smelling, fruity, perfect for spring 🌸🍒

Opening: love it! Makeup powder & red cherry lipstick (not waxy) in a bag from the 90s with the elegance of the 40s. I get the cherry, a bit of pink rose, & minimal strawberry - very nostalgic, romantic, elegant and vintage. It's not sweet, but it implies sweetness. Then: the original kenzo DNA takes over, while it keeps that nostalgic romantic twist somehow. End and dry down: a softer, romantisized version of the original kenzo with an impression of the opening - only an impression. Whatever this Nympheal is, it's sadly overpowering imo. I wish the opening was present till the end. Unfortunately, it almost dissapears after 2-3 min, therefore I won't buy it; at least no full price. I like it much better than the original, though.

I just got a sample of this. On first spritz, it smells similar to Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Elixir. But completely different dry down. I've never smelled other Kenzo perfumes before, so forgive me I can't give comparison. Projection: Medium Dry down: Soft musk, cherry and little bit of rose. Overall rating: 7/10 I usually avoid perfumes with musk, I find it to be suffocating and masculine. However, I'm fine with white musk as it smells soft and warm. I'll get a bottle of this, when it's on discount. I wouldn't pay full price.
