Le Monde est Beau (1997)
by Kenzo

A beautiful floral. Light, transparent. Cosmos flower (bitter, salty note) + white dewy flowers.

This is the most gorgeous, sophisticated grapefruit/white florals scent I have ever smelled. Often found at a discount, it's a great bargain and a lovely bottle as well. Though white florals/citrus is usually anathema to me, I reach for this again and again on hot, sunny days. Just beautiful.

The best of all Kenzo creations in my opinion. It is remiscent of a very optimistic, bitter-sweet, fresh, sunny grapefruit. It is not a naïve scent in the slightest. It will compliment a happy mood and gently lift you up other times. There are scents that have something in common with this one, but none of those come close to this perfume. It lives up to its name "The World is Beautiful" - that is how it makes you feel about life.

Top note : Cassiflore, Magnolia, Aglaïa Odorata
Middle note : Jasmine, Cherry Blossom, Albizia, Honeysuckle
Base note : Cedar, Vetyrisia

Chanel Allure paired with a ripe grapefruit. Stunning and longlasting. And that bottle!
