Reviews of FlowerbyKenzo (2000)
by Kenzo

I have the EDP in the clear glass bottle with the poppy. That was scintillating enough to make me buy the parfum in hte red metal bottle which is divine. I love violets. I can't see a future without these perfumes, or one of them, in it. Both are more advertourous than Borsari's Violetta di Palma - the EDP more suggestive and playful, the parfum more sultry.

It is one of my favorite women’s perfume. I really like this scent.

I like the Le Parfum (red bottle) more than the lesser concentrations. Reminiscent of heliotrope (everlasting flower), the sweet quality of FbK smells like you've spilt the best baby powder next door to the best confectionary bakery. This is one of those sweet fragrances I love to encounter, but would weary of wearing.

I really like this scent. My first exposure to it was a roll-on EDP.
It smells sweet and warm and smells like summer to me.

Oh this a special one. It is a very charismatic and amassing scent.
It is one of my and my husband’s favorite women’s perfume.
It is an Oriental - Floral type of perfume. it smells very flowery.
you can rest assure that this perfume will last long. Suitable for special occasions
you might find it a little too strong at the beginning but later you will recognize how unique it is.

Kenzo's Satin Spray (the red satin bottle) is paradise. I like Flower EdT for a daily scent, but the parfum is for special days. If you are an almond lover, do try this. The almond, vanilla, and opoponax are much stronger than in the EdT, and the rather in-your-face, synthetic notes of the EdT (which I like but are definitely an aquired taste) are absent in the parfum. Lovely and smooth....

This is a very nice floriental. It was very powdery and I love the violet notes, which I believe create the powdery scent. I don't get "candied" though like so many other reviews. This lasted for a long time on me and kept smelling great throughout the day. I have Flower Oriental and I like that alot too, but it's quite heavier than this. I smell alot of the original Flower in Flower Oriental, but this is lighter and more suited for daytime/casual. Overall a very nice scent!

I say that I would repurchase this, but I am not 100% sure that I would ever run out of it... if I do, I will be getting it again! I have FlowerbyKenzo, Bvlgari pour Femme and Lipstick Rose and they all satisfy the same craving for sugared violets. Now FLowerbyKenzo is the one I go to when I want something very gilry and pretty, youthful and soft. I know that I can wear this to the office without worrying I would offend anyone. It is slightly powdery and sweet on my skin and remains fresh for the duration. Not a baby-powder scent at all, I cannot stand the actual baby-powder scent, this in fact is very different kind of powdery - very lovely. I prefer to wear this during cooler months, especially love it in autumn. Of course I too would agree with others who say that this is one you should try on before buying blind...

I have always taught that Kenzo scents are waterlike, light, florals.
I got one small testtube of this one, and get suprissed. Its sweet, some vanilj, mysk and flowers. But this is´nt pure flowerscent.
Remainds me of Paul Smith, London.
I ad it to my wishlist right a way.

My signature special occasion scent-- My now husband picked it out for me when we were dating only two months. He was in Spain at the time, and it did not come to the US market for another two years, as far as I know.

It is a soft, metropolitan, classy, oriental-floral, with an emphasis on the Bulgarian rose and the myrrh (Oppoponax). It is a whispering fragrance. I always get compliments when I wear it. I am on my second bottle. I also have the Flower Le Parfum, which comes in a red bottle, and is heavier on the vanilla and the incense, therefore better for winter.

Wow this is a truly amazing scent. The smell translates into beautiful in my mind. It's free, playful, and even childish. I see myself running fancy free into an open field of colorful flowers and greenery in the warm sunshine. Totally beautiful.

First of all, I tried Kenzo's Flower EDP expecting to hate it. As, the last 2 Kenzo perfumes I hated with a passion. Violets, vanilla and a very delicate rose are the main notes on my skin. This has to be the most realistic violet note; hence the powdery feel of Flower. I have to say this is one of the only violet perfumes that doesn't turn dusty smelling on my skin. Also, the rose note in Flower EDP is so well done. It's not a synthetic, heavy, overtly perfumey rose like most others I've tried. It's really a delicate and light rose undertone. On my skin this smells cool, modern and just beautiful. Flower is very long lasting too, with wonderful sillage.

Keep this in the refrigerator for a wonderful refresh on a warm sunny day. I love to spritz on after I get inside from planting flowers.

I love this one, but love more Flower Le Parfum.
This version is available in three sizes 15ml - just a drop - because of its fluid texture, 50 ml - standard perfume, and 75 ml - satin skin spray - dry oil texture. Great coctail of Bulgarian Rose,Parma Violet,Vanilla,White Musk,Almond and Amber.

Okay, it's important to note that there are really *two* Flower by Kenzos - the EDP in the clear glass bottle with the red flower and the parfum in the solid red brushed metal bottle. Both are lovely, both are worth owning - but they are very different. The EDP is very much about florals - particularly violet, which comes through headily in the topnotes - and rose, with vanilla and a bit of sweet woodiness playing supporting roles. It's a very soft, almost muted fragrance, very pretty but not what I would call striking or terribly individual. The parfum, however, is an entirely different tale and one well worth exploring if you have not done so yet. It picks up on some of the EDP's notes - the rose and violet as well as the vanilla, opoponax and white musk from the EDP's base - and intertwines them with amber and almond. The result is just pure heaven, nearly indescribable in its beauty. Mind you, there is a bit of waiting required to get to the good part; on initial application, you very much get a fairly basic violet tinged with just a touch of almond. But once thirty minutes or so passes, you find yourself with a patch of paradise on your skin, a sweet velvet essence so inviting that it becomes almost a full sensory experience rather than just an olfactory one. If it sounds too incredible to believe, I urge you to try it for yourself; just be sure you track down the parfum. For quite a while, I heard people rave about Flower by Kenzo and couldn't figure out what the big deal was over the slightly underwhelming EDP. Then I finally got around to trying the parfum - and now I know!

Imagine what spring would smell like. Flower by Kenzo is exactly it. It's very light, soft, innocent, and pure. A nice beginning scent for spring.
