The story behind the bottle.
Flower Ikebana Sakura by Kenzo is a Floral fragrance for women launched in 2023. Created by Alberto Morillas and Alexandra Monet, this composition opens with the distinctive aroma of Buckwheat Tea, which sets a fresh and aromatic tone. The heart of Indian Tuberose and Cherry Blossom adds a soft floral warmth that evokes the delicate beauty of traditional Japanese arrangements. At its base, Australian Sandalwood, Cedar, and Vetiver provide a grounding earthiness that complements the florals without overpowering them.
Apply this fragrance to your pulse points for a subtle but lasting effect. The Buckwheat Tea top note fades quickly, so it’s best to layer with a light mist over time. For maximum impact, wear it in cooler weather when its warm spicy and woody base notes are most noticeable.
