I actually don't like Kenzo Flowers at all. Too floral, too sweet, too boring. With Kenzo, I prefer the Amour editions. But this Kenzo Flower is nothing like its floral counterparts. Fortunately for me :) After a lot of smelling, I can even recognize a similarity to "D&G pour femme" (which I also really like, hehe).
Kenzo Flower Elixir starts off very sweet and synthetic. It's more of a sweetness leaning towards chewing gum. So, if someone wants to eat afterwards, they should let a little time pass, as it would cause me a bit of nausea when trying to eat. It is incredibly intense and has an enormous longevity, which I really appreciate about this fragrance. After 2-3 hours, when it calms down a bit and doesn't hit you in the face as wildly, you can definitely recognize some nice raspberries, which I usually don't like in perfumes, but here they harmonize quite well with the rest and don't dominate the scent, as is usually the case. The rose comes across as very young and sweet, fitting with the rest of the fragrance. After about 6 hours, it becomes quite fine and vanillic, which I really like. Here, the scent begins to become gentle and loving.
I find the overall concept of the fragrance very well executed. However, the synthetic aspect is still noticeable, but I don't find it particularly bothersome. It is more suitable for a younger audience and is a good going-out scent (but please not for going out to eat ;)).
I think the bottle is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful in dark red, it comes across as very elegant and simple. One could easily imagine it as decor.
