Avon Life by Kenzo Takada is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Life by Kenzo Takada opens with Red Apple, Water Lily, Citrus, and Tea, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Violet, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Iris. Avon's Life by Kenzo Takada carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Kenzo-Avon collaboration promised much but delivered a divisive experience. Some found it a surprisingly elegant, fresh floral, perfect for daily wear, while others were left baffled by the synthetic opening and generic drydown. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with opinions swinging wildly from budget bang-for-buck to an overpriced misfire.

About

Life opens with a bright, crisp splash of red apple and lively citrus, quickly softened by the delicate, green essence of tea and the watery freshness of water lily. The heart blooms into a graceful bouquet of violet, peony, and sweet cherry blossom, lending a soft, powdery floral character. The experience settles on a subtle base of earthy iris, providing a clean, refined finish to this airy composition.
