Review/SHOP The Whiff of Sophistication

The Whiff of Sophistication

Surround yourself with your favourite scent. Inspite the hazy situation outdoors, it is still important to envelop the body with the latest scent that makes you happy. New from Kenzo is the #FLOWERBYKENZO #L’ELIXIR.

Masterfully composed by Alberty Morillas, this bewitching gourmand-floral fragrance is for the sophisticated and more assertive modern woman, looking for an ultra-feminine scent. Morillas, master perfumer and creator of the original FlowerByKenzo fragrance, designed the scent to open with a fruity accord of delicious raspberry accented by sparkling mandarin. It then unfolds into a precious floral heart of Bulgarian rose, enhanced by orange blossom absolute. A rich base of praline and bourbon vanilla absolute leaves an unforgettably sensuous and addictive trail.

New Packaging:

This is for perfume collectors as it comes with a unique flacon packaging unlike previous editions. Paying tribute to the 15^th anniversary, the new FLOWERBYKENZO L’ELIXIR dresses the original silhouette of the iconic FlowerByKenzo bottles originally designed by Serge Mansau in a deep shade of red, lit up by a touch of gold to underline the precious blossoming of the poppy. On the outer packaging, the golden poppy glows against a white background to make a majestic statement.
