The story behind the bottle.
KenzoKi Rice Steam Sensual by Kenzo was launched in 2006 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. This fragrance captures the essence of a warm, comforting aroma that evokes the steam rising from freshly cooked rice. It opens with savory notes that give way to lactonic and nutty accords, creating a rich, enveloping scent that is both sweet and subtly indulgent. The composition feels like a blend of tradition and modernity, much like Kenzo’s own legacy of bringing Japanese fashion to the global stage.
One spray is sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The lactonic notes emerge quickly, adding a layer of sweetness that complements the savory base. It's best applied in the evening or for indoor settings where its comforting warmth can linger close to the skin.
