Kenzo Flower Ikebana Indigo Fact sheet The art of ikebana reimagined in an indigo sillage With Flower Ikebana Indigo, Kenzo continues the poetic journey initiated by the mythical poppy to explore this time the stripped-down world of ikebana. The new Eau de Parfum captures a suspended instant: the silhouette of an indigo shiso branch immersed in a porcelain vase, on which a pastel peony blooms, still beaded with dew. The promise: a graphic floral in which each note finds its place like a stem skillfully tilted in Japanese floral art.
Flower Ikebana Indigo The bottle its case A calligraphy of glass, tinted with indigo True to the elongated stem dear to Kenzo, the Ikebana Indigo bottle stands out with a midnight-blue gradient that lightens toward the base: the shade evokes indigo ink diluting in water. In the glass, a single stylized brushstroke trace runs from bottom to top; it recalls the precise gesture of the ikebana master who places the branch to the millimeter.
Crystal cap & tiny floral detail
The translucent cap reveals a glimpse of an engraved “ghost stem,” the silhouette of the imaginary orchid. When light passes through the crystal, the blue of the bottle reflects in watery glints on the surrounding surface, underscoring the theme of nocturnal contemplation.
Recycled glass, water-based lacquering: a form of restraint
10% PCR glass
The bottle body incorporates post-consumer recycled glass, guaranteeing the same clarity as virgin glass while reducing the carbon footprint. The walls remain thin; only the base is thickened to ensure stability and prevent tipping during spraying.
Solvent-free gradient
The indigo coloring comes from a water-based lacquer applied by micro-spraying; no solvent-based resin, which limits VOC emissions. The coating resists light scratches and filters UV to preserve the formula.
Three sizes and a refillable system
- 40 ml: travel-friendly size (height: 11 cm), ideal for a bag.
- 75 ml: iconic model (height: 15 cm), perfect for the vanity.
- 100 ml Refill: streamlined bottle, without spray, fitted with a drip-free spout and a universal thread compatible with previous Flower editions.
Unscrewable pump
The 75 ml spray removes with a quarter turn. A silicone seal ensures tightness during refilling; the refill empties in under 45 seconds, without a funnel, thanks to an auto-stop valve that halts the flow once the bottle is full.
Packaging: Japanese minimalism, sustainable commitment
Certified washi paper box
The box adopts a textured paper reminiscent of traditional washi. Printed with indigo vegetable ink, a stylized wave motif in matte selective varnish; no metallic gilding, to favor recycling. Inside, a molded-pulp cradle holds the bottle without plastic.
Opening ritual
Lifting the lid releases a light scent of hinoki wood engraved into the carton — a nod to the pyramid's final incense. A grained-paper card offers an original haiku: “Ink and mist / Peonies under a snow moon / Silence in bloom.”
The balance between boldness and serenity
Where the original Flower bottle symbolized the red energy of the poppy, Ikebana Indigo plays restraint: nocturnal hue, minimal silhouette, a single calligraphic gesture. The result combines urban modernity with zen aesthetics, making the bottle an object of contemplation as much as a fragrance to wear. This controlled restraint reflects the spirit of the composition: each note, each line, each color exists to better celebrate the emptiness around it.
