I have a soft spot for Flower by Kenzo but can understand why it is polarising. Flower was somewhat of a signature fragrance to me for a few years in my twenties. I owned both the perfume and the body spray version and repurchased over and over. I loved it and knew no one else who wore it at the time. I appreciated it for how cozy, warm and soft it felt but in my mind at the time, there was something a bit romantic about it too. After a break from it for more than a decade I was surprised to spray it in store and feel immediately overwhelmed and cloyed. It went straight to my head. It is definitely a strong, powdery scent and so unlike everything else around it on the perfume shelves, that it caught me off guard. My reintroduction was not love at first spray, but I’ve moved past that and again very much enjoy this unique fragrance. It just needs time to dry down and then it becomes a soft, sweet and powdery, rich rose and vanilla on my skin. This is a pretty, warm floral and I feel like those who wear this would exude a calm and mysterious confidence and individuality as their scent. It is really well priced in my opinion too. Great memories for me, linked to this lovely fragrance – even if it challenged me with how my perception of it had changed over time.

Classic, but for younger women and older girls.

I’ve always loved the advertising campaign for this fragrance, and I had a sample that I gave to my mom because I find this too powdery to be appropriate for me. I’m in my early 20s. This became my mom’s signature fragrance, and she is incredibly sensitive to perfumes, so much so that every frag I want has to earn her approval before I can wear it. But she loves this stuff, and it smells AMAZING on her. She’s very youthful in spirit and always dresses well with a bohemian flair, and this matches her very well. I can always tell when she wears it; it’s very powdery on her, but it’s also sexy and somewhat musky and overall just gorgeous. It’s feminine without being sweet and trite. It’s classy without being stiff or too refined. If you like powdery or you’re looking for something that’s down to earth, intimate, and groomed all at the same time, this is a good fragrance for you. From what I can tell, the sillage is impressive. And can we talk about the bottle? I love how it looks on a dressing table.

Never actually tried this on my skin, but I got the chance to smell it when I went to a mall. It’s such a light and delicate scent. It’s clean, fresh and powdery. Very calm and inoffensive, like a symbol of innocence and purity. The advertisement of flowing flowers totally represent the scent imo, because it gives that flowy airy feeling. I appreciate the uniqueness of this scent but personally it’s not my cup of tea.
infoppehype – :
I bought this perfume a few years ago and all I can say is that it’s powdery, powdery and powdery. It smells like baby powder. Not my cup of tea.
edulik – :
i was given this perfume years ago by my brother, and therefore the bottle holds a special place in my heart. but…..i don’t like the juice. i have a complicated relationship with violet–i romanticize it, but often find it too twee and precious ? i just can’t make it work here–on my skin the powdery violet with the vanilla rings far too sweet and is one of the rare perfumes that give me an instant headache (usually not an issue for me). because of this, i just find it obnoxious and i’ve never been able to give it a real chance to develop on my skin and see what happens. someday i intend to go in and try again — i’m VERY stubborn.
Weefraireetef – :
I think this perfume is beautiful and unique.
Flowery (shock horror), powdery and warm.
poxer – :
I love this perfume, very intimate…lovely and kind. Like a gentle maiden who speaks softly and is nice to all the animals on her farm. Very innocent and feminine. Not too young either, I feel like a woman wearing this…it reminds me of Buddhism for some reason.
forsag – :
I got this from a lovely member here. It’s taken quite awhile but I can finally admit, this isn’t for me. I love violet. Rose and vanilla are another story. They are far too strong for me.
Violet peeks out in the morning sun. It’s delightful and gay.
Rose and vanilla are night prowlers. I fear them in the dark corners.
I love the bottle but couldn’t keep such a lovely fragrance from someone that might love it, and I DO hope its new mom loves it!
This is a gentle scent, but it’s more powerful than Kenzo L’Elephant I think. This just doesn’t die down for me. If you can wear this gentle giant, I’m sure it’s amazing on you. I wish it could be for me. This is one scent that is worth every penny it costs!
Good-bye my love…it’s me, not you!

When I was kid I enjoyed these ads in magazines with floating poppies. Poppy has natural musky scent with green bitterness, pretty much like tulip.
The Kenzo Flower has that bitter nuance and prevents perfume from being sweet vanilla and makes closer to initial idea – flower growing up in the city. These were great times when brands could invest in making perfumes with such stories behind…We don’t need any more “empowering” perfumes, we just need a dream and poetry in our lives.
The scent is powdery, musky, floral and elegant. It leaves the light soft trail but better not overuse, you can suffer yourself. I tend to wear it in cooler weather, then it’s amazing.
People keep complaining about lack of originality in perfumes, when something unique stands in shelves underrated for years. It’s not sweet, but potent and worthy of being signature.
Faundadia – :
I’m absolutely addicted to this perfume. It smells like a rich baby’s bottom and I love it
uyg359Unlogrere – :
Very special, unique scent! It stands out! I loved this perfume:)

Flower by Kenzo is one word: AMAZING!! Normally I don’t like incense but in this it has mixed to make a soft floral scent with a little zing. Its not a party one just for a day at home. In it are:
Main Notes:
-citrus
-iris
-rose
Middle Notes:
-voilet
-vanilla
Base Notes:
-incense
-blackcurrent
This reminds me of a sunny day were your running through a field of delicate Poppys and tulips and to find a clearing with a huge oak tree and rainbow Butterflys everywhere. Then there are woods behind and your family is sitting on a picnic blanket eating fruit. All I am saying here is it is a delish perfume.
gurrifielesee – :
It smells like: pink ornamental hawthorn (Crataegus “Paul’s Scarlet” -> sweet powdery scent) + cosmetic creme (old Nivea) + plastic + sometimes there is also odd sour “vinegar-y” note, like sweat under Nivea creme.
Hawthorn was my first impression, it’s predominant note.
There is no poppies (have you ever smelled red poppies? the fragrance is weak and chemical : castor oil / asphalt / burning plastic / ballpen ink + lettuce + pollen)
LuntWillis – :
It opens with this stunning combo of cassia and hawthorn that leaves me paralyzed for a few seconds thinking surely this must be what pollen smells like in the flower meadows where all the unicorns like to hang out.
Just when I’m all “aww shucks” and seriously considering the destitution of the rest of my collection, it decides to dull out on me and make an exit from greatness in the form of powder drowned by powder.
A falling short of expectations sort of story, like that highschool valedictorian that didn’t transition well into college.
I probably spent half a bottle trying to recapture those first 2 minutes of shimmery fruity-pollen-whirling-about goodness, until it implodes into a nest of powdery, vanillic ionones and I’m reminded why I don’t wear it more often. A trinket note that bright new things dim too.
v 1111 – :
Edit: I figured out how to summarize this review in one sentence: “This is a very expensive way to smell like you just changed your baby’s diaper.”
My coworker wears this regularly and she leaves a lovely, soft floral trail as she walks past. When I saw the 30ml EDT on sale, I impulse bought it, thinking it would be a nice addition to my collection of soft florals.
But what a disappointment.
It opens with a BIG cloud of talcum/baby powder. That scent never actually fades on my skin, but gets mixed with a very heavy vanilla (not gourmand at all, just “heavy”). About 15minutes after spraying it, I got an enormous headache. Being trapped in a train with nowhere to rinse it off, the headache grew to a fullblown migraine.
No thanks, Flower, I’ll banish you to the back of my drawer.
Overveprime – :
It was my first expensive perfume and had this since 2003. Just bought my second bottle and it seems it’s been reformulated, the new one is a little bit watery.
Kenzo flower smells very elegant, soft powdery, feminine, I can smell violet and rose. It has similar vibe with Bvlgari Omnia Ametyst (purple), in my opinion. It lasts a long time and perfect for wedding party or special occasion.
chizhman – :
Long story short.
I remember mum having this perfume, I was a kid at the time, I remember a thin long bottle with a flower imprinted. She’d wear this often, and I always told her how nice she smelt. She had the 30ml, because even now we talk about this scent.
I would literally know where mum was in the house, just by the trail of this beauty..
I’m 25 now & have my own 100ml bottle, and heck it’s big! Lol. I’ve used up at least half.
And put it away for a while, because I’d only wear this in winter.
It’s winter now & I’ve taken this beauty out. How ever, the liquid has changed in colour, it smells so much better, it’s more powdery & floral than before. Love how a scent changes as time goes by. She’s elegant & sophisticated❤️
The bottle is simple, nothing eye catchy, but the rose imprint captures your heart. And you know that it’ll smell absolutely beautiful!
Before I forget, we find this perfume hard to find in Australia, I told my mum it was going for $80 dollars. And she was like ” WHAT?! WHERE??” She drove down to the store and bought herself a 100ml, and she was wrapped, over the moon, because there was two left.
We are both happy to have this gorgeous scent.
Sillage: 4 hours.
Longevity: 6-7 hours.

I owned a dupe for this over 15years ago called Pure treat, and I loved it, and it I really loved it. I But I never replaced it, my now husband who i met when i was 18 would tell me how nice i smelled whenever i wore it.
It always made me think of tulips, and invision a colour of really dark purple. its sharp and powdery with a strong violet note. Quirky in a way but beautiful.
I’ve still never smelled anything else quite like it yet.
tao994speagoessenda – :
An understandably polarizing fragrance, I happen to be in the camp that enjoys the overpowering powder opening. This isn’t the floral essence of flowers, this is the essence of fine, dusty, nostril-tickling pollen. The dryness is accentuated with incense and kept alive with a touch of vanilla.
The drydown turns unexpectedly sweet on me given such a nose-ticklingly dry opening. After about an hour the dry powder has all but evaporated and I’m left for many hours with a very sweet vanilla base with a touch of spice remaining from the incense. The opening is perfect for spring and summer but the base is more what I would turn to in cooler weather. This is one of my favorite fragrances because it is so unique, but due to the unusual progression of notes I find it difficult to wear.
Longevity is 12+ hours, projection is on the broader side of moderate.
GaDdisigner – :
Do you know Lancome’s Magie Noire? This one smells like its disciple. Magie Noire is a rather mature and dark scent, but this one is brighter and more wearable. This is a budding witch. I sense the incense and the sweet opoponax so well, mostly in the beginning, and then some flowery notes from the rose especially and a little vanilla. The bottle doesn’t fit the scent at all! This is an unusual fragrance with a good sillage. Very distinct!
Nester-tut – :
I had a taste of Kenzo Flower L’Elixir recently by a very pleasant coincidence and ended up now owning it. It was the first time I got introduced to Kenzo Flower line. And I have been “haunted” and could not help thinking about it a lot. I decided to search for more of its “relatives” and found this EDP at my local Macy’s, hidden among many other popular competitors. I was hunger for more of this Flower.
I found Flower EDP is humbly different in its own way. I could detect the same gene passing down from this EDP mother to the L’Elixir…It is the “powder” vibe that makes Kenzo Flower line distinguished to others, in a modern and classy way combined. I rarely find anything quite like this line these days (the same thought also applies to Givenchy Dahlia Divin line). Therefore, it is quite unique IMO.
I found comfort and caressing (just like peace and calmness) from this scent, as some previous reviews have already mentioned. When I wear Flower by Kenzo, I feel “Zen”. What a lovely experience that this fragrance brings to me! No stress, no chaos, no impulsiveness,…just still as calm water of a lake in spring.
The only difference between this EDP and the L’Elixir is that the L’Elixir is more gourmand, with praline and raspberry added, and no incense.
666FFF – :
I have to start by saying that I really love Kenzo Flower. I don’t get the general negativity towards it. To me it is a soft beautiful elegantly sweet powder with notes of dewy rose shining through the hazy darkness provided by the deep incense note. It is a beautiful violet powder although I do see the similarities to baby powder. It makes me feel so calm and safe, relaxed and cozy yet well groomed at the same time. While it is not what I would term as a “sexy” scent I do find this to be very feminine with its’ own classically elegant allure. The powdery veil reminds me of Bvlgari Pour Femme in some way.
People around me seems to despise Kenzo Flower. The first time I sampled it in front of my boyfriend he told me that it smells like poppy flowers. Since poppy flowers are supposed to have to scent of their own I am pretty sure he is associating it with some other red flower but the impression was spot on, he did not know the name of the perfume nor had he seen the bottle. Unfortunately he really dislikes incense and a few minutes later when the incense note developed he could not stand it.
I once wore two tiny little sprays of this on my chest to work and two of my colleagues complained. One asked if I used a “very old and strongly scented soap” that morning. I know she dislikes powdery scents so it must be the powder. The other colleague is known for really disliking incense and immediately picked up on the incense note. My family is also not crazy about the “sharp cloying” scent of Kenzo Flower. Thus Kenzo Flower is now reserved for private wearing only. Which is unfortunate because to me it portrays a little piece of calm in a chaotic world and there are days and situations in which that little aura of calmness would be much appreciated.
Kenzo Flower is a singular red flower growing on the most unexpected of places, like on a tar road in the middle of the city. It is a sign of hope, a tiny piece of nature that brings its’ beauty into a synthetic world. To me it is a bubble of calmness, of feeling completely at ease in a world where such feelings are becoming extinct.

I am partial to violet scents, and this is beautiful and fresh without being sweet.
anna199421 – :
First, background: I seldom find any *fine* fragrances on my frequent thrift store rounds, but I found this which like miafran92 I had never heard of. The 100ml bottle was in a pristine box, for such a low price that I reasoned (like a perfumista) that it was like buying a sample. Point of this story is that my expectations were very low, but as I wore the first two-spray test I kept thinking how lovely it was. The beauty for me is in the hawthorne note. It is a white flower’s pollen scent! Not sweet but utterly floral-not clean but utterly fresh-not absolutely natural but…real. I also get a lot of rose, but in balance with the other notes. This is moving to the top shelf.
konstantnsk – :
I had never heard of this perfume until today when the sales lady at Bloomingdale’s shoved a perfume card under my nose. They are sneaky that way haha. I tried it on my wrist. I thought it was very *pretty* floral scent but just not terribly *interesting*. It was not until the drydown that I really began to appreciate and love it. I love the musk and vanilla and I think the incense adds a little something different. I’ve found some of my favorite perfumes are bright and cheery during the day, and by the time evening rolls around they have morphed into something cozy and alluring. I hope to give this another try soon.
Update: I’ve decided this is way too powdery for me. I would probably like it otherwise, but as it is it reminds me of my deodorant. 🙁
Timkei – :
Seeing so many people hating such a nice and gentle perfume makes me sad. It is indeed powdery, and, since I haven’t had the chance of smelling freshly cut violets as someone mentioned below, I can only associate it with baby powder, but the violets are present though delicate. After three or four hours, right before it disappears, the vanilla comes to play.
I think it has to be worn in winter or cold days, since it can get a little cloying – even headache inducing. But it’s a really lovely scent. Classy, delicate, and definitely unique.
gyurij – :
Ahh, Kenzo Flower, how I have finally grown to appreciate your beauty. You used to practically knock me out with your powder-bomb sillage, at the very least you used to give me a horrible headache. Maybe now that my bottle is a few years old, or perhaps my skin chemistry has changed, but I now find you quite lovely. More of a grown-up scent, but not ‘old’ by any means. CLASSY. I pick up a bare hint of a soft subtle sweetness that I never did before. Yes, the powder notes still dominate, but I also pick up a bare hint of rose in addition to the soft sweetness. Lovely. I am going to enjoy wearing you, especially now with the cold weather that we are still having, feels like Wintertime here, although the calendar does say Spring. lol. You seem especially perfect for ‘right now,’ with the cold chill in the air, yet the buds beginning to bloom on some flowers.
I bought you because I loved your bottle, kept you for a few years only because of your bottle, and I am so glad I decided to re-visit you. You are now a borderline love for me; definitely a very strong like!! I am so glad I hung onto you, and I am even considering repurchasing you. My, how things change…❤️
kostya1104 – :
I remember when this fragrance came out, I was intrigued by the bottle but turned off by the scent. Now, 18 years later, I adore the scent but find the bottle a bit tedious. Oh, how things change. For me, this is my cozy any-time-of-day scent. It’s warm, powdery, and fresh and ever so slightly sweet. Sometimes I am surprised by the freshness of the citrus note, clear and sharp and cutting through the warmth while avoiding the blinding brightness one might enjoy about it in other fragrances.
For me, Flower manages to be a cozy scent without any obvious woody or amber notes. I enjoy wearing this to bed or anytime I want to be subtle or mild. I think it’s one of the best mass market scents out there and very reasonably priced. Actually kind of regretting getting the 1.7 oz and not the 3.4 oz bottle. Speaking of the bottle, even the 1.7 oz bottle is TALL. It occupies so much SPACE visually, I find it a bit of a burden, especially since I’ve started keeping my scents in a drawer to shield them from light. At the rate that I use it, though, I could probably keep Flower on my vanity, finishing it before the light degrades the composition.
For me, Flower is a rare mix of comforting, delicate, and unique. No one note stands out above the rest, so it stays *interesting*. I love love love Flower!
markushev – :
I always urge people to smell this fragrance because to me, it’s one of the most unique scents I have ever come across.
It’s weird but at the same time elegant, flowery, milky, powdery and a bit musky, but also has an underlying note to it that I can’t pinpoint: whenever I smell this I’m reminded of moss and rice fields and dust, but at the same time, it’s strangely elegant and enticing. It’s not a fragrance I would normally wear or could pull off, but I can appreciate its incredible uniqueness.
stalkerbw – :
I kind of like this scent, the rose in it is nice, what I dislike (and therefore don’t wear it anymore) is the strong powdery feeling that I get very soon and that stays all along afterwards. I did get a compliment last time I wore it, someone told me it smells really good on me, so I guess its just my nose, not getting along with powder. A classic though for sure, and might be more appropriate for mature women.
Italiano – :
Floral musky fragrance.
Most of all I feel violet, rose and musk.
The fragrance is too powdery to my nose.
hjlbjyjd – :
You can´t fully appreciate this fragrance if you haven´t experienced the smell of freshly cut sweet violets. I think many people dislike this perfume because they can´t identify that particular note… it reminds them somehow of baby powder. So sad this masterpiece has so many mediocre reviews… I find this fragrance elegant, soft, youthful and utterly original. I have received many compliments wearing it 🙂
NeoSaPinS – :
I’m sorry to see how many people dislike this fragrance. I was seduced when I first found it 10 yrs ago and I always get compliments when ever I wear it. Men just love it and many have asked me what it is so they can buy it for their lovers.
It’s a very unique feminine scent. I personally don’t like the bottle and often wish it was more attractive, as one reviewer said “It looks cheap” and I have to agree. It doesn’t look nice next to my other fragrances.
carol-spal – :
This fragrance is one i cannot make up my mind about. One day i really enjoy the smell and the next day i dont.It sometimes gives me a headache, sometimes not.A definite try before you buy.

My DD returned from a trip abroad bearing a collection of Kenzo minis from the duty free. I was thrilled and excited because I have had no exposure at all to any of the Kenzo fragrances.
I decided to start with Flower since in my mind it is the most emblematic of this perfume house, what with the beautiful, instantly recognizable and iconic bottle.
Unfortunately I have to report that I really detested this scent. Even at first sniff it was unappealing to me but I felt I had to give it a fair chance. I absolutely couldn’t wait to wash it off at the end of the day.
I don’t love violet in general but combined with the baby powder note I found it particularly objectionable.I don’t know why I was a martyr by keeping it on the entire day when it was making me almost physically ill. Maybe because I had a feeling that merely washing it off, before it had run its course, wouldn’t eradicate the smell. It’s tenacious stuff. I’ll give it that much.
ruslanchik – :
Usually I really hate violet notes in perfumes as it gets extremely powdery on me and somehow suffocating. Dusty if you will.
But was ppleasantly surprised by this – I got lots of creamy vanilla in the opening together with delicate rose and once the scent started to settle, a violet became more prominent but in a nice way. The base is only slightly oriental with a sign of incense but just in the right amount to be able to still wear it also in spring.
Quite nice one!
Sonechko555 – :
Kenzo Flower & me are joined at the hip, in the way this perfume never leaves my collection. Suitable for all ages & i think that’s why i fell in love at a young age. Kenzo comes over heady to start with but because of that you know its going to last longer on the skin. In the end up it becomes light and fresh powdery, floral aroma but has this unique ability to stay modern & warm.

When I was younger, my mom used to wear this. I remember I really did not like this scent, it smelled way too old-fashioned to me.
But last week I received a sample, and I have to admit I quite like this fragrance now! It’s a beautiful floral/powdery perfume. Initially, Flower smells very floral indeed. Later on, Flower gets more powdery and woody/balsamic. The vanilla is there, but doesn’t stand out. What I like about this fragrance, is that, on one hand it smells very soft and powdery, and on the other hand it smells quite dark and balsamic. Nice!
Flower reminds me a lot of Guerlain Instant, but Flower smells more bitter, whereas Instant smells more sparkly. I personally prefer Instant over this, but Flower is also a very beautiful fragrance.
Sillage and longevity are both very good.
ljp619JeomiWogkig – :
I love this one. Powdery slightly sweet but not like baby powder. I don’t get the florals. Luca Turin says this is based on Carons Royal Bain decay Car on and I can smell the similarities. It appears that this is either a love it or hate it perfume so I suggest try before you buy. I blind bought this one and fell in love.
madhualoe – :
Feminine but too powdery and strong, almost cloying, which contradicts the delicacy of the bottle. The fragrance is all but soft or ethereal: it is rather robust and nearly clingy.
Addguru – :
I absolutely adore Kenzo Flower!It brings me right back to the beginning of the noughties – vanilla, musk, flower notes simple and yet sensual without any skank or soap, which does happen to me testing a lot of perfs from this era, yet KF remains `pure`! The bottle is gorgeous too (although there`s not a hint of poppy in sight..) I definitely need it in my collection once more, it is a true gem, and men seem to LOVE it on me – I would rather not recommend it to anyone in their twenties though, as it`s anything but fresh or sweet and fruity..

Why so many dislikes?This is a beautiful long lasting fragrance which has ispired many other perfumes.
wastuk – :
Update from a long-ago review when I was new to perfume. In that review, I quoted Chandler Burr’s at length; his was an erudite rave. And indeed, the opening is green and mortal. But as this flower dies, it dies effusing the smell of well-meaning feminine hygiene product. Powdery in the extreme. Feminine hygiene products are powdery and apologetic; Flower is unapologetic – which is the principal difference, in my nose’s opinion.

Angus Young – :
Despite liking it, I don’t find this very wearable. It’s something I would just like to smell once in a while, just a single spritz on my hand. It smells like a poisonous flower that’s going to kill you & vintage face powder. A bit headache inducing. I think it’s a very unique scent.
vasilius – :
(review from a man, tested on my girlfriend)
Terrible, nauseating, irritant, overwhelming and makes me headache. Maybe one of the worst perfumes what I ever smelled. After the first sniff, I wouldn’t want more, but I have to (I would like to wrote an entire review). The top notes contains a bit of blackcurrant and mandarin, but 15 second later the violet and the vanilla overwhelm everything else. The rose try to make the composition softer, but not working. In the drydown, the musk is the dominant, but after few hours I can still smell this terrible violet+vanilla note. 4-5 hours later maybe it can wearable… One thing is sure: I don’t want to hug a woman who wears this scent. I think I will vomit her. Terrible stuff.
– Only wearable on cold days, maybe early spring/late autumn/winter. If you have some empathy not wear this scent on hot days or in a little, locked places.
– Sillage and longevity are good, longevity is 8-9 hours

You can call this is a powder in a bottle. Very first is powdery but you have to give it sometimes to develop. Five minutes later this is a light floral scent mix with a little bit smoky.It’s like you just walk out of showering in the morning, walking in the garden on a sunny day, like a wind blow your hair, simply, fresh, clean, powdery, clear, informal. I like it and I prefer EDT.

I’m very late to Flower by Kenzo. I tried it in the store today. I was surprised that it smells exactly like Johnson & Johnson baby lotion in the pink bottle. I have loved the fragrance of that lotion my whole entire life. The lotion costs a tiny fraction of the cost of Flower by Kenzo and the baby lotion’s fragrance sticks all day. So…I’ll pass.
Statistik – :
This is a beautiful smell i don’t think this smells like baby powder I get baby lotion in the pink bottle. I think it smells great. I am gonna be ordering a bottle asap! Very clean and powdery.
cfyxtc1982 – :
This was my first perfume. I still have the bottle I bought about ten years ago when I was 16. I remember really loving the design of the clear bottle with its bright red and simple poppy. This scent isn’t the olfactory equivalent of red, though. It more resembles baby pink, or soft periwinkle.
Flower, to be blunt, smells like baby powder. It isn’t a bad smell, but I can see why this scent is so deeply polarizing. It has some depth in the base that draws it out of the powder, but not by much. If you’ve smelled Guerlain meteorite powder before, it’s very similar, though I think Flower comes off a bit more juvenile. Even at just 26, it’s become unwearable.
If you’re looking for something that smells like cosmetics, this is a good place to start, but I think I’ll stick with the more grown up Lipstick On.
EDIT: I found a good use for my old bottle! This is a comforting scent to wear to sleep.
Uliss – :
I can definitely see how this is a very unique and an intriguing scent. I can also see this possibly being a signature scent for some, as this is a fragrance everyone will come to know by the scent; it is unique, memorable, different, and captures your attention.
For me, this is one of those frag’s I bought mainly for the bottle, which is rare for me. I also bought this a long time ago, before I really realized overly heavy powdery notes and overly heavy rose notes seem to feel like they are scrubbing my nose with a brillo pad. This frag has both of those notes; front and center, loud and proud. This scent is indeed unforgettable, a beautiful and unique scent. It just does not bode well with my nose, unfortunately, due to the overly heavy powdery and heavy rose notes. But still, I can definitely see the beauty of this. But also, this seriously made me feel like I was going to fall over on my face. Way too much of a good thing, I suppose, for me.
Can be found currently at very affordable prices. If this gem works for you, you are very lucky, as it is a beautiful, memorable, and a very unique fragrance. For me, it is just too much of too much. But alas, I sincerely appreciate it’s uniqueness, pretty much a ‘one of a kind’ fragrance, and unforgettable. A real gem of a beauty fragrance, I can see that, even though my nose is glad once this is showered off. But this is still an undeniable, unique beauty. I kept it just for the lovely bottle. 🙂

I tried this fragrance again, for the umpteenth time…wanting to like it more…but, sadly I don’t. Not that its bad, just not unique, singular, complex enough. Strikes me as a but immature, if that can be said about a scent.

Wear this one before you buy it.
