Kenzo Flower Eau de Parfum for Women, 100ml

I was pleasantly surprised by how elegant this perfume smells — soft, powdery, and fresh without being too strong. It has that timeless classic vibe that reminds me a bit of Chanel No.5 L’Eau, but lighter and more wearable every day.

Just a light and lovely fragrance. Excellent for the hot weather. Not too strong. Not easy to get locally.

Original y un aroma exquisito

I'm a pretty enthusiastic collector of fragrances. I buy one for my wife now and then but she's not tremendously adventurous with fragrances and has ended up ignoring about a dozen I've given her in favor of one of the very first I bought her, a long time ago, D&G Light Blue. It's a pleasant but thoroughly unexceptional fragrance.Well, I recently got her Kenzo D'Ete and that sort of sparked something. I guess I'd done a poor job selecting. She likes that one. Kenzo, Issey Miyake and Success de Paris are some of my own favorites, bar none (including my various high-end bottles from Amouage, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Le Labo, Montale and so on). She liked the Kenzo Summer. So I picked up Kenzo Flower. She likes it a great deal... and I have to admit, I LOVE it. I think this fragrance is going to put a new spark in our marriage because a woman smelling like this... yum. Yum yum, scrumptious!Ok, aside from waxing poetic (and failing, miserably so in fact), the fragrance itself: I can't speak to top/mid/base note differences. But I can speak to the base note. It's a syrupy flower. Flower syrup. It's in the same vein as Kenzo Power for men... it's a kung-pow punch to your nose of impossibly pleasant flowery serum. It's sweet but not cloying, so when I say "flower syrup" I mean something more like a finely crafted attar. It has a clear, bright, 'watery' rose note very similar to Le Labo Rose 31, but there's iris, chrysanthemum. My wife thought it was powdery but she says that about every floral scent, and to my nose, it's not the least powdery. It has a perfectly reasonable balance of ambergris. So it's sweet, but not cloying. It's appropriate, and the sweetness is a background to this one-two knockout punch of delightful and just... ugh... sexy bouquet.OK, I'm sold. I think she likes it a great deal, and it's my new favorite for her! Our 11th anniversary is coming up and I may make a special request for this fragrance to be part of her wardrobe on our special night! :)As a husband smelling this on his wife, I'm giving it a 5-star rating, and if I could give it 6, I would. I speak for no one but myself, but for a household with many hundreds of fragrances in circulation, for a new one to have THIS distinctive and impressive impact really kind of stands for itself. Consider yourself... warned? Informed? Encouraged? Well whatever it is. Get yourself (or your spouse) one if romance is in the air. They've bottled it here. :)

Love the soft lasting smell.
