This is a very nice perfume and reminds me a lot of CK Eternity plus the rose note. I was very happy to include same in my perfume collection. Sillage and longevity are very good and it is perfect for Spring season.
I like the initial peppery florsl scent but that quickly turns to powdery vanilla, powdery vanilla and that is all. Not special or unique. Not worth the price in my opinion. I have ownded and loved three other Kenzo perfumes, including Kenzo Flower. This new Kenzo Flower Essentiell is nothing next to the original Flower.
Love jasmine!! Is my "signature" note and never fails me. Although, is a very dangerous ingredient that mixed with something stronger can be really a tragedy. Pepper has this effect in Kenzo, it has happened to me that people asks me if I don't get dizzy with it because they do! Others have told me it's beautiful and they love it. It's strong and I recommend to put it once and never retouch. Is for any occasion and suits every season of the year.
the very first thought that will pop in when you smell it is "agh what an annoying flowery smell" but i have to say the base note of this perfume is so warm and nice so my advice is to wear it before going out with at least 1 hour so you get the satisfying result that you search for . it was a gift so i have no idea if its too expensive or not and never searched for it online
On my skin this one starts very dark and with a great punch of insence. Middlenote gives a licoriseheavy note blended with dark rose and pepper. I usually loves pepper, but I don't like licorise. This one is not for me. Looking at notes in this scent, maybe its the Hawthorn that makes me think of heavy, dark licorise. Hawthorn smells very heavy if you crush the berries, and Hawthorn is a smell I really dont like.
After 3 hours when Hawthorn finally dissapeared the basenote is gorgeous, soft incense, rose and musk. Very classy and elegant mix.
På min hud startar denna väldigt mörk och med en rejäl dos rökelse. Hjärtnoten ger en kraftig lakrits not blandad med djup, mörk ros och peppar. Jag älskar peppar i mina dofter, men jag tycker inte om lakrits. Denna är inte för mig. Dock en doft för karriärskvinnan i mitt tycke. När jag tittar på doftnoterna så ser jag Havtorn, kanske är det den som gör att jag känner lakrits. Havtorn har en tung och kraftig doft när man mosar bären och Havtorn är en doft jag verkligen inte gillar.
Efter 3 timmar när äntligen Havtorn-noten försvann så blev basnoten helt underbar. Mjuk rökelse, ros och musk i en elegant och klassisk mix.
I don't like rose at all but this one is very unique, powdery and vanilla floral fragrance. It smells very comforting on me. Its so nice and I love it .
I get aldehydes within the floral notes, similar to Chanel No 5's soapy aldehydic notes. Then the obvious Jasmine and Rose notes. I prefer this to the original, personally. But that is just me. It's incredibly similar but I just like it more.
Another blind buy, because of the bottle and the incense... good quality, very long lasting... but rarely in a mood for it, don't know why...
I luv this but it's not for everyone. It smells like baby powder and bananas. But I love it!
This is unexpected perfume for me.
I got it as gift, and i didn't really notice the 'Essentielle' word because my eyes set to Kenzo Flower: the notorious floral perfume.My first encounter with Kenzo FLower was years ago, and it was dreadful. It was horrible, overwhelming flower bouquet that turned my intestines upside down. Having read 'essentielle', i don't hope that much either. Not a fan of floral perfume,never was.But i take my chance and give it a whiff.
First impression : it is rose. a very delicate rose, light and intriguing because there is this comforting & powdery scent. but then again, there's incense [oh good lord i hate this ingredient]but on this one, it smells heavenly.I love the dry down part. It lingers for quite some time with this subtle neutral and jasmine-ish scent. It is absolutely beautiful.
About the incense, it is deep but curiously 'buried' under the rose-jasmine duet, a bit soapy like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, but Kenzo Flower Essentielle is more subtle, not as glamorous as Coco Mademoiselle, but still, a very beautiful fragrance.
i love it so much!
So unique that you cannot possibly mistake it for something else. However, its very powdery, so if you are not in to it, the dry-down will disappoint you sorely.
wearing this perfume makes me feel my day more optimistic... good for everyday use...
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, she 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)
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.

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.
