Flower by Kenzo Le Parfum
by Kenzo
Flower by Kenzo Le Parfum is a soft, gourmand scent built around a core of powdery vanilla, almond, and violet. It unfolds with a creamy, milky quality reminiscent of vanilla rice pudding with a delicate almond crumble, making it deeply comforting and tender on the skin. The scent is linear and well-integrated—without sharp transitions, it remains a warm, delicate, and persistent presence, especially noticeable during winter. Its dry-down is gently musky with a rich amber base that adds depth without heaviness, creating a sense of intimacy and elegance. Both the fragrance and its packaging evoke a timeless, elegant simplicity, making it ideal for private moments or special evenings. While some note the decline in intensity of introduced reformulations, the older batches remain legendary for their richness and longevity, with some reports of the scent lasting for months on a single application.
