Flower by Kenzo L'Absolue
by Kenzo
Flower by Kenzo L'Absolue presents a warm, sweet, and softly gourmand floral profile with saffron adding an unexpected depth and sensuality. It’s not the original Flower, but rather an evolved, more mature take that leans into creamy vanilla, powdery white florals, and a softly musky drydown. The saffron offers a subtle spicy touch that adds complexity without overwhelming, making it feel more elegant and wearable than many mass-market floral-fruity scents. It's best appreciated in cooler weather or in humid climates, where its warmth and richness unfold beautifully. Although it lacks surprise or bold contrast in its evolution—remaining fairly linear on skin—it has moderate longevity and a moderate to strong sillage that makes it noticeable without being overpowering.
Pros
- +Warm, elegant, and sophisticated scent that works well in autumn and winter
- +Saffron and vanilla add depth and complexity beyond generic floral-fruity perfumes
- +Good balance of sweetness and musk, avoiding candy-like or cartoonish character
Cons
- −Feels very similar to other mainstream sweet florals like My Way or Si Passione—lacks originality
- −Lacks contrast or surprise in development—linear and predictable on skin
- −Not ideal for the youthful, fresh, or citrus-driven fragrance lovers (e.g., Libre, Voce Viva)
