Kenzo Amour Perfume by Kenzo 1 oz Eau De Parfum Spray for Women. With Top Notes Of Frangipani And Blossom; A Heart Of Cherry Blossom, White Tea And Frankincense, And A Dry Down Of Thanaka Wood, Rice And Vanilla.
Flower Oriental starts quite similar to the original Flower scent: a soft, sweet, powdery floral. As it settles, the powder calms, and it starts to take on dark woody undertones that temper the sweetness nicely. It smells like agarwood (oudh), but a subdued agarwood, completely stripped of its characteristic medicinal topnote. The wood slowly warms into a dry, smoky-peppery incense which obscures the floral top notes, leaving only indistinct traces. It is mildly spicy, with a dash of vanilla and a clean skin musk in the base.
It is a wonderful comfort scent for fall, very squishy-soft, and much lighter and closer to the skin than you might imagine it would be based on the notes. It has just enough powder to lend a velvety finish, but not so much that you feel that you have dusted it on, and there is just enough vanilla to balance the dryness of the wood.
Personally this is a beautiful and feminine fragrance that lasts for hours, enveloping you in a fragrant veil of flowers. It isn’t ‘heady’, but I think it possibly could be if someone sprayed too much on themselves. I find that a couple of squirts on the neck is probably sufficient for a subtle yet lasting scent, which is great because the bottle then lasts for ages, meaning fab value for money! I always get asked what I’m wearing when I have this on, and it seems very popular with a lot of people.
