Flower by Kenzo Essentielle
by Kenzo
Kenzo Flower Essentielle is a softly floral, powdery fragrance with a delicate yet persistent blend of rose, jasmine, and vanila, enhanced by notes of incense, pepper, and musk. It opens with a light, slightly spicy floral top dominated by rose and pepper, evolving into a soft, creamy bouquet where hawthorn and vanilla warm the heart while incense adds a subtle, mystical depth. The drydown is elegant, lasting several hours with a quiet, comforting presence that feels both refined and intimate. Many describe it as resembling a high-quality powder or a dreamlike, clean-soap aesthetic, balanced with enough character to feel unique and sophisticated. It is particularly appreciated in cooler weather for its warm, bodied elegance and is said to be a more mature evolution of the original Flower, offering richer depth without the overwhelming sweetness or aggressive sillage typical of earlier versions.
