Flower by Kenzo Essentielle Kenzo for women

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

I AGREE THAT KENZO FLOWER WAS NOT SO GOOD BUT THIS ESSENTIELE IS BRILLIANT , BUT U HAVE TO WEAR IT IN SMALL VOLUME AND IT MELLOWS WITH UR SKIN BEAUTIFULLY, AND IT LASTS FOR AGES ON SKIN.

I put this one on this morning and I felt inspired to write a blurb about it. This will be my first! I just started getting into perfume a couple of years ago and this was one of the first I bought myself. Since then I've been honing my nose, and some scents that I once thought were good I now no longer. I still stand by Flower Essentielle because it appeals very directly to my need to feel soft and feminine, and earthy and grounded. There's nothing very challenging or hard to understand about this scent and I like that sometimes. It also helps that I love rose, jasmine, musk and vanilla, which if one does not, they will have a very difficult time enjoying this scent. I prefer to have a bit more vanilla, and I've found that this layers nicely with Lavanilla's Pure Vanilla. This is definitely a NOT a summer perfume for me; it gave me a huge headache in the hot sweltering heat of Beijing. While I love this perfume I cannot tolerate the overpowering powderiness of Kenzo Flower, so no need to write off this little gem if you didn't like the original.

Is very light and comun fragance,not for me.

very mystery eastern smell, my favourite (pour femme)

This version is similar to Jadore L´or.

I was very nervous about spraying my little sample, as I really disliked the original Kenzo Flower with a passion, plus vanilla and jasmine are not notes I would normally be happy to wear, but I was pleasantly surprised by the lightness and pretty floral scent here. I could easily wear this and not feel sick. It makes me a little more happily predisposed to trying a few more Kenzos. I adore his Fleurs Prunier though.

A very unique smell and very soft. Love this fragrance alot. !! =)

Comprei este perfume sem conhecê-lo e foi uma decepção. Primeiro é muito gostoso e suave. Depois fica muito ruim, só cheiro de incenso e nada de flores. Por fim surge o cheiro de jasmim, mas então o cheiro acaba, pois a fixação dele é péssima.
Gostaria que alguém me informasse como faço para adicionar os perfumes que possuo, amo, gosto, etc, no meu profile do site fragrantica. Só consigo incluir o perfume de assinatura e os preferidos.

It's so floral , hot , generous, cheerful <3
I don't know in what extend it's connected with the 2000 "Flower by Kenzo" because i have never smelled it , or if i did , i don't remember it.

the rose is so strong and floral I just can't handle it.

I never was attracted tho the 'Flower' perfumes. I received a sample of Essentielle (the only way to be sure if you really like a smell) and tested it. It's a real flowery scent, I can smell the incense immediately, normally you'd have to wait until drydown to smell this.

On the other hand, the rose and jamsine stay present to, which is a good thing. Lots of other perfumes do differ from the opening scent after a while.
Not this one.

But I do think I know now why I'm not very fund of Flower, there's just too much vanilla. I like it on someone else but for myself, I don't want to be surrounded by this bakery smell.

Must have for vanilla lovers!

I love this fragrance. The weird part is that it's drydown reminds me a little the drydown of Infusion d'Iris on me - probably this is the incense that makes it's appearance. Very nicely blended and feminine... I was gifted a 25 ml bottle and I can already see that it's not going to last long :)

I think it smells like a mix of Flower by Kenzo and Kenzo Amour. It smells good and fresh,but nothing i would wear longer than a few minutes.

AL PRINCIPIO ESTE PERFUME HUELE A CREMA PARA LAS MANOS O EL CUERPO PERO LUEGO DE UNOS 15 MINUTOS, HUELE FANTASTICO, MUY FEMENINO, SUTIL, ATEMPORAL (TODAS LAS ESTACIONES DEL AÑO),NO DEMASIADO DULCE. LO RECOMIENDO A UNA MUJER, SENSIBLE, JOVEN, DE CARACTER DULCE Y MUY FEMENINA.

MUSKY ROSY FLORAL FRAGRANCE, An
eau de parfum essentielle, a creation
crafted with a new density… where
emblematic ingredients of FlowerbyKenzo
are magnified by components of
uncompromising quality.

Do not like this one which when I tried La Tigra by Kenzo, I love it! Two opposite poles of scent to my nose. I cannot sand this scent at all but do love Tigra!

The rose and insence and the vanilla and musk i clearly feel ,but not the jasmin . Its a lovely ,slightly oriental in a light way,flowery smell. The oriental light toutch and the vanilla with the classic flowers is an interesting combo! I like it ,its NOT ordinary

While I did not at all like Kenzo Flower I like Esentielle much more. The opening is rather powdery,abit wishy washy and slightly soapy. But then later the scent becomes much more sweet and floral and it allmost smells like jasmine and cucumber that has been rolled in vanilla sugar (don't ask me where the cucumber came from). The incence is not that prominent at all but it sits nicley in the background and lingers with the rest of the notes. The type of woman that I would imagene could be caught wearing this. Would be someone who was sweet and rather quirky not conventionaly beautiful but rather strange and intriguing. Because this scent is rather strange and at times sharp and no way near the conventional mold for what is considered a good perfume.

This is a light, warm, musky, powdery floral that smells really comforting. It is relatively strong and the lasting powder is decent (for a non-oriental perfume) It warms on the skin very nicely and is altogether a quiet, subdued scent. This perfume feels so luxurious, warm and expensive.

the opening is quite fresh with the rose...after a while turns flowery and then u can feel the incense...lacks the powderness of the original ..it is kinda of lighter...very crisp with a touch of exotics from the incense....quite interesting

The rose and jasmine are more prominent in this one. It lacks a bit of the powderyness of the original Flower and turns rather floral on the skin.
