Flower by Kenzo Eau de Toilette is the Eau de Toilette that Kenzo launched in 2021 for its Flower line, following an earlier Eau de Toilette. Signed by Alberto Morillas, perfumer of the 2000 Flower, this musky floral pairs Sicilian lemon with a Bulgarian rosewater, all set on white musks and vanilla.
The new Eau de Toilette has drawn few signed reviews, both favorable. Trudi Brewer, writer for the New Zealand online magazine BeautyEQ, sees it as the perfect musky floral; Darcey Bayliss, writer at the British online perfumer Escentual, likes its discretion and finds its longevity greater than she expected.
Olfastory’s review
Two reviews published in July 2021 offer a similar reading: a light floral, where musk dominates.
A musky floral without sugar
Trudi Brewer, writer for the New Zealand online magazine BeautyEQ, wrote about it in late July 2021. For her, the Sicilian lemon immediately reassures with its freshness and the rosewater will satisfy floral lovers; she credits its originality, however, to the pairing of white musks and organic vanilla.
She judges it lively enough for daytime and refined enough for evening, and recommends it to anyone who likes florals without tolerating their sweet side. She sees it as the perfect musky floral.
A longevity beyond expectations
Darcey Bayliss, writer at the British online perfumer Escentual, published her review on July 19, 2021. She likes its discretion and sees it as an everyday summer fragrance, of restrained elegance, in which the powdery and musky facets stand out most.
Its vanilla and musky base lasted on her skin far longer than the two to three hours she expects from an Eau de Toilette. She also perceives a violet, absent from the list of notes that Kenzo publishes for this version.
