The story behind the bottle.
Flower by Kenzo L'Absolue was launched in 2022 and crafted by Alberto Morillas. This fragrance is a sophisticated, seductively floral Eau de Parfum that embodies the iconic brand's commitment to elegance and nature-inspired design. The top note of saffron adds an unexpected warmth and depth, while the heart of Damask rose and orange blossom creates a lush, luxurious bouquet. The base notes of vanilla and white musk provide a soft, enveloping warmth that grounds the composition in sensuality.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow the complex notes to unfold gradually. The spicy top note is vibrant but fleeting, so a gentle spritz will ensure that the warm base notes take center stage for a longer-lasting experience.
