Flower by Kenzo Essentielle (2009) New perfume review - the divine flower


If Givaudan is known for innovation, Firmenich is synonym with perfection. Derivation and improvement are the best of the Swiss creative lab. When Firmenich gets a new original accord, they will make sure that this special idea not only will be everywhere, but will be improved until perfection is reached.
Flower by Kenzo Essentielle (François Demachy and Firmenich) is the perfect example of the art of being in the right place at the right moment. It is a miracle and not a simple flanker. A conclusion of best ideas in the past 10 months. The pink pepper in the woody light floral of Elle + the aldehydic freshness of Narcisso Rodriguez Essence + the oud rose at the right dosage + the new floral aldehydic interpretation of Chanel Eau Première. It is not a simple collage but an artistic vision in even a more difficult context - a derivative perfume, the already masterpiece called Flower by Alberto Morillas. Only a Leonardo of Fragrance Creation would have done all that well - here we have a work of genius. If you ever loved Kenzo Flower, you'll appreciate even more Kenzo Flower Essential. It is what J'adore Absolue is to J'adore.
This is a XXI century interpretation of Number 5 with all the qualities of pure perfection. Kenzo Flower, the original one was worked like a diamond - all new facets have no trace of imperfection.
If you ever loved the floral aldehydic perfumes of the 60's with their great style, now you have the perfect contemporary interpretation where rose, lily of the valley, modern musks and sweet notes are blended with laser precision. A classy perfume with the richness of meanings found in the modern minimalist architecture.
I was impressed from the very first molecule evaporated from blotter and from skin. Now, Kenzo Flower is so XXth century!

A vous lire, vous allez me réconcilier avec les flankers Octavian ! Vous m'avez grandement mis l'eau à la bouche et vous me réconfortez quant à la cohérence de Kenzo Parfums qui est une marque que j'apprécie depuis le début
Merci

I can only second what S. says above. You make this sound very enticing - especially since the new Flower seems to have dropped the heliotropin?
That said, I wondering if rose + oud isn't this year's rose + patchouli... And I wish a moratorium would be declared on pink pepper. But enough grouchiness: I need to smell this today!

Yesssss. But try it also on your skin and keep the blotter long enough to see the drydown.
I think it's special and it doesn't feel at all like ... just a flanker. :)
you are maybe right about rose+oud - are we celebrating 1001 nights in Europe?
