    Kenzo Flower is nice, but soooo pale as to be barely there on me. If the elixir has more bottom, that would be nice, but the willowy model doesn’t suggest any buxomy oomph! there at all. But the trail of blossoms, such a nice effect, suggests the possibility of sillage, which would be nice. Someone sent me a mini of this, and the little bottle is just as cute as anything, I just wish the scent itself had more power, so I am holding out hope for this elixir version…

      I will try it…I don’t love Flower but have really liked some of the flankers.

    As always, nice PR from Kenzo! I’d like to test this too. My fav of their flankers was/is the “cologne” version.

      They do a good job on their PR, way more than most.

      I think I liked Winter Flowers best? But would have to go look.

        I don’t think I ever smelled winter flowers. I also have the “essence” which I think is excellent as well. I used it a lot for aldehyde training wheels.

        I like Kenzo, so I’ll definitely track this one down. Flower Le Parfum was the only scent I wore for 5 or 6 years (hard for me to imagine now). I didn’t realize how many flankers I missed, though.

    OMG, Oscar Niemeyer AND Deep Purple? Kenzo’s comerciais are the best! This made my day.
