Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi, a fragrance in the purest spirit of Japanese tradition. Kenzo Takada is the name of the former artistic director of Kenzo and founder of the eponymous house. A true artist, he conveyed throughout his career his bohemian and poetic vision of the world. This is how he gave rise to some captivating compositions, such as the timeless Flower By Kenzo.
In 2021, the house of Kenzo puts one of its greatest women's fragrances back in the spotlight and once again tells us of the power of a singular and sensual flower: the poppy. Here, its fragrance comes with a gift: a Kokeshi doll. Indeed, this is a Japanese tradition. This small doll, made of traditional Asian wood, invites us to rediscover one of the greatest women's fragrances in history. But what is really behind this wild and floral fragrance? A breakdown of the formula of Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi.
The peppery and spicy breath of Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi
Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi is a fragrance that immediately captures attention and opens on a fresh, spicy vibration. As in most feminine compositions, Kenzo intoxicates with the zesty freshness of citrus. Sparkling as ever, these are combined with dried pink pepper. Originating from Brazil and steam-distilled, this raw material delivers a pure essence. Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi immediately releases a lively and joyful character. From its first breath, Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi paints the portrait of a fulfilled and authentic woman.
Bulgarian rose, star of the Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi fragrance
At its heart, Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi becomes more poetic and floral. It contains powdery violet as well as Bulgarian rose. This flower is among the most noble and most sought-after raw materials by perfumers. Bulgarian rose is considered by many to be the queen of flowers. Hand-harvested in what is called the Valley of Roses, it is then distilled to give us the full olfactory character of its petals. Its scent is instantly recognizable. Rich and sensual, Bulgarian rose has an incomparable femininity. Incidentally, it is also what gives Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi its slightly green and fruity character.
Vanilla, a more voluptuous and sweet presence
Because the woman who wears this fragrance is also a seductress, Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi also contains vanilla. A concentrate of gourmand character and pleasure, it plunges us into a voluptuous cloud. Here, vanilla releases a generous and addictive breath. As subtle as ever, it unfolds in turn a scent of milk, caramel, amber, wood, spices and honey. Grown in Madagascar, vanilla shows excellent longevity and captivates instantly.
White musks to leave an indelible impression behind the Kenzo woman
Finally, Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi ends with a final sensual breath, lingering on the skin: that of white musks. This raw material gives this fragrance greater longevity. Nevertheless, it still preserves a soft and crystalline breath. Flower By Kenzo Kokeshi thus delivers a powdery and elegant cloud for many hours.
