Kenzo Flower Eau De Parfum

Kenzo Flower Eau De Parfum was introduced in 2000, crafted by the talented perfumer Alberto Morillas for the French fashion house Kenzo. The fragrance was inspired by the poppy flower, which is surprisingly scentless in nature, and Morillas sought to imagine its aroma as a tribute to beauty and resilience blooming amidst an urban environment. The overall scent character is soft, powdery, and floral with a modern, elegant, and slightly mysterious aura that has earned its place as a timeless and iconic perfume.

The top notes burst open with a fresh and lively blend of mandarin orange, Bulgarian rose, hawthorn, and black currant. Mandarin orange imparts a sparkling citrus brightness, while Bulgarian rose adds a lush, velvety floral facet. Hawthorn introduces a subtle green, slightly tart nuance, and black currant lends a juicy, fruity depth that rounds out this invigorating and luminous opening.

In the heart, a rich and sophisticated floral bouquet emerges with rose, Parma violet, jasmine, and opoponax. The rose and violet bring softness and powderiness, creating a gentle and comforting floral core. Jasmine adds a touch of sensual sweetness, while opoponax—an aromatic resin—imbues the heart with a warm, slightly balsamic, and resinous complexity that elevates the scent’s richness.

The base notes ground the fragrance in warmth and sensuality through the combination of incense, white musk, and vanilla. Incense adds a subtle smokiness and depth, while white musk provides a soft, clean, and comforting skin-like aura. Vanilla rounds out the dry-down with creamy sweetness, ensuring the scent lingers gracefully with a cozy, inviting finish that balances powdery florals with warm sensuality.
