Flower by Kenzo L'Absolue

Flower by Kenzo L'absolue is completely different than the Original Flower Kenzo. I love the Original, but I'm in love with this. This is a warm, sweet fruity/floral fragrance....... Some perfumes feel either too old or too young, but this can be enjoy by all age groups. I have heard from many that Kenzo fragrances are very popular in France so I would avoid wear this while traveling there. Just don't want to smell like everyone else. It tested the longevity & it lasted a few days on fabric. I would group this with the same sweet Floral category of Giorgio Armani My Way (Floral, Intense), Si Passione (Intense), Givenchy Irresistible EDP...... It's absolutely Not the in the same citrus/detergent scent category like YSL Libre or Valentino Voce Viva.

This is THE love of my life :) I absolutely adore it and I am surprised to see such low reviews. L ́Absolue starts with slightly spicy opening, I guess that ́s the shaffron talking. I can ́t smell any roses nor flowers. Immediately after the opening I get clean, soft musk, which I keep smelling for the rest of the day from my skin and my clothes. For me it is a comforting and romantic smell. I often use it when I am going to be in a stressful situation because for me it represents a calming blanket and I feel safe thanks to it.

I looooooveeee this parfume. When I first try it at the store, I knew that I must take this home. For me and with Indonesia weather, this parfume makes me feel warms like a bouqet of flower hugging me... And the crazy part is, the smell of the parfume it remains still even after 2 weeks on my sweater.. It's a long lasting parfume and I love to wear it especially to an event... This is a mature woman parfume...

There is something very intimate about this scent. To me, it feels like the more sensual, outgoing sister of the original Flower In close contact, it's a true compliment magnet. The clean, almost clinical DNA of the original softens into something warmer, with a pillowy, natural skin scent and a subtle metallic tang that makes it enticing Perfect for date nights!

Comprei onde 50ml numa promoção por 150 reais, tem um toque da flor de laranja misturado com a rosa de kenzo, doce sinto a baunilha mas não exagerada, um forte toque ácido de especiaria provável o açafrão oq e bom! feminino e elegante, fixação e muito boa sim! Projeção também e boa.

I love it... I'm Indonesian and this parfume smells soooo good with our humidity. I can smell the safron and the rose. It felt warm and elegant. I don't feel like it has similarity with My Way, Libre, etc.... Maybe the humidity also affecting how this perfume smells...

This is such an underrated scent. I personally did not realize how gorgeous it was until I started to use my bottle. It is a clean, mature scent with depth to it, as well as great sillage. It is not clean in an aldehydic sense, but still smells so clean to me.

Your type of perfume if you like the rosey ones, I love the vanilla-musk dry down too, favourite combo. The smell is not heavy but yet long lasting! Delicate, someone told me that I smell delicious 😂 suitable also in the summer ending.

It's a very, very good perfume! If I wanted to buy a gift for a friend, this would be the one! It's absolutely a safe blind buy! It doesn't seem like something very complicated but it really smells gorgeous and rich!

Such a gorgeous vanilla and definitely my favourite of the "flowers". My nose catches similarity with Poison Girl that I have, but I'd say this one is a lot more summer friendly.

First sniff love, bought it right away, its so beautiful. I love it. Beautiful blend of al mentioned notes in a Kenzo specific style.

I'm trying it out of a sample. Love love love Long lasting and sexy, feels more like a winter/fall type of fragance

A very pleasant and delicate floral fragrance with saffron accents but I don't feel like I absolutely need this. I really liked the Elixir version for the gourmand route it took, and this one piqued my interest more than L'Absolue. I’m currently exploring saffron perfumes as I’ve recently noticed how hooked they get me (YSL’s Libre Le Parfum) so I decided to revisit the new Absolue flanker. Once again, it smells really pretty but I’m not thinking about it day and night. I don’t know why, but I feel like it lacks a little bit more contrast. Its evolution feels expected, there is no surprise--- it remains almost linear on my skin. Also, I feel like it may smell a bit mature for some people so if you expect it to be on a fresher and more youthful side, you might be disappointed.

I find this more beautiful and elegant than the mentioned L'Interdit, Voce Viva, Libre, My Way. This is much easier to wear. Those contain the orange blossom, but they smell screechy sometimes. Flower L'Absolu still has a bit of that original Flower DNA and it makes the composition more interesting, not summery, bright and flashy. It's quite a universal all year round perfume. Saffron is an excellent touch. I still think the original Flower is a much more unique creation, this doesn't have that at all, but it is pleasant to wear.

Why do I get this clean soap vibe from this? Yes it’s floral, a little bit sweet but not overly sweet, but I get a soap, spicy rose scent. I don’t know where people smell the vanilla? Maybe a bit in the base just to soften but it’s certainly not a vanilla forward fragrance to me! The orange blossom gives that soap vibe I believe but it’s makes me confused why people voted vanilla as top accord. As I’d say floral is top accord followed by spicy then vanilla.

Came across a tester in a shop that I normally do not visit. It's fruity, rosy with much vanilla there. Not fresh, it's on the heavy side. It's like Angel Nova but AN is a lot more woody as the oud is discernable there. Flower by Kenzo absolu is, however, just sweet and cheerful. It may relate to My Way or Sublime Epoque a bit more. Overall lovely but I may not go down this path for now. Definitely recommend if you are a floral or fruity person.

A rosa e o musk se conversam bem nessa mistura que é confortável e acolhedora, quase como que um abraço. Considero o mais sóbrio e contido dos Kenzos pois apesar de morno, ele não exala tanto e vira quase uma segunda pele, trazendo elegância e sofisticação mas de uma maneira muito sutil e delicada. Depois de umas horas, a baunilha se assenta melhor com o floral, deixando o perfume mais adocicado (levemente).

If anyone is missing the beautiful Miss Dior 2017 you must try a sample of this. After the initial warm saffron opening (thankfully short lived) it has the same orange and rose combo going on as MD2017. For me its suitable for any season, daytime wear. Its mature (not old fashioned) slightly sweet fruity floral. It has decent longevity and a soft projection.

From a male point of view : Very nice floral, musky, slightly sweet fragrance. Opens up floral and dries down to a rosy, musky, slighly powdery vanilla fragrance. Elegant scent with a character. To my nose, this is a floral and lighter version of YSL Libre Intense.

parfum que je trouve assez générique, fruité, fleuri, un peu sucré, convient bien à tout âge, je ne le trouve pas vieux jeu, au contraire plutôt mass appeling, peut être acheté sans être forcément essayé avant
