Kenzo Flower by Kenzo Essentielle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Alberto Morillas. Flower by Kenzo Essentielle opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Incense, settles into a heart of Hawthorn, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Kenzo's Flower by Kenzo Essentielle carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This flanker isn't a radical departure from the original Flower, but it's refined, less cloying, and more balanced. It's a powdery floral that dances on the edge of 'too much', but largely succeeds due to its excellent blending and surprising longevity. A touch divisive, but mostly loved.

About

Imagine inhaling a cloud of soft, velvety rose petals, given an unexpected kick with fresh pepper. Soon, a warm, musky embrace emerges, laced with subtle vanilla and a whisper of incense, creating an inviting depth. Hawthorn and jasmine add a delicate, airy floral dimension, preventing it from becoming overly heavy, maintaining a beautiful powdery lightness throughout its impressive wear. It's a clean, subtly smoky interpretation of a classic floral bouquet.
