Olfactory Cotton Candy
I just passed my bottle of Flower by Kenzo to a friend and took this farewell as an opportunity to revisit the fragrance.
In short: Flower is the scent I desperately tried to figure out as a teenager. I was inexperienced with perfumes and never thought that it could be a perfume that all those girls were wearing. I assumed they used a certain deodorant (yes, I now see that as naive).
I have always associated scents with colors and shapes, and back then, Flower was white and cloud-shaped for me. Innocent, young, pure, and clean. Not a speck of dirt clings to this fragrance. Today, it is precisely this bit of dirt that makes a scent interesting to me. It must have edges and corners! - But not Flower. Flower is soft like cotton and sweet. At 14, I was not only into Flower but also into cotton candy (no fair without cotton candy!). This sweet, fluffy, airy preference with a synthetic touch perfectly aligns with my search for Flower back then.
At some point (a few years later), I discovered Flower in a perfume shop. I knew that I would probably hardly wear the scent, but for nostalgic reasons, it found its way into my possession.
I still associate the fragrance with youthful girls, but unlike all the ordinary fruity floral scents that are released by the hundreds every year at Douglas & Co., Flower remains special to me. With its almost old-fashioned floral concentration, it has made a statement among perfumes for young girls, and I still feel joy when I catch a whiff of this scent on the street.
