The story behind the bottle.
Flower by Kenzo Summer 2008, created by perfumer Alberto Morillas and launched in 2008, captures the essence of a vibrant summer day. The fragrance opens with ginger and mandarin orange, creating an immediate burst of freshness and warmth. This zesty beginning transitions into notes of litchi and freesia, bringing a delicate sweetness that's both fruity and floral. The heart is enhanced by parma violet, adding a powdery depth, while the base of white musk and incense rounds out the composition with an airy sensuality.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the ginger note is particularly vibrant but fades within an hour, giving way to the musky base notes. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
