The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005 by Alberto Morillas, Flower by Kenzo Oriental is a bold yet elegant fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. It opens with fresh spicy notes and incense before settling into a warm amber base infused with vanilla and powdery florals like Bulgarian rose and violet. This composition creates a complex interplay between smoky warmth and floral softness, making it both alluring and comforting.
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points. The incense note is prominent initially but fades into the rich base notes within an hour, so it’s best worn in the evening for maximum impact.
