Kenzo Flower by Kenzo Oriental is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Alberto Morillas. Flower by Kenzo Oriental opens with Floral Notes and Incense, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Pepper and Vanilla. Kenzo's Flower by Kenzo Oriental carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your mum's Flower. Kenzo Oriental is a divisive beast: a love-it-or-hate-it incense bomb that captivates with its meditative depth, or repels with a sharp, 'unnatural' opening. If you appreciate a confident, smoky oriental, you'll mourn its discontinuation.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its prominent smoky and amber accords and moderate sillage make it too heavy for most offices. However, its sophisticated and warm character, combined with a sensual vanilla dry-down, is perfect for dates and evening events, creating an inviting yet intriguing aura.

About

Opens with an unapologetic blast of incense, reminiscent of ancient temples. This intense, smoky introduction gradually gives way to a heart of delicate violet and subtle rose, softening the edges without losing its mysterious allure. The dry-down settles into a warm, inviting vanilla, dusted with a hint of pepper for a sophisticated, lingering warmth. It's an atmospheric journey from sacred smoke to a cozy embrace.
