After Flower by Kenzo EDP arrived in the market, in the year 2000, Kenzo Parfums discovered what we call the “golden goose”. Since then, numerous versions have been released, always bringing the poppy as a source of inspiration. Just to remember, Kenzo tried to represent it as a singular flower, which is alive in the city.
In 2015, was launched this version, originally made for sale at the airports and created as a limited edition for the summer of that year. Flower by Kenzo Légère also brings in the box the term in English (Light). Unlike the other summer versions already launched, which sought freshness through citrus and fruity notes, such as lychee, this one remained more faithful to the original fragrance, betting on the use of a synthetic compound and the reorganization and dosage of raw materials in the composition.
We have then, the same notes of Bulgarian rose and cassis, plus a touch of cassia on top. Then, once again, Parma violet, opoponax and hawthorn appear in the heart. Here came the novelty: the hedione (synthetic compound of accentuated freshness, which may present floral nuances – similar to jasmine – or citric ones). Ending, we have the same base with notes of white musk, vanilla and incense.
Flower by Kenzo Légère/Light is the Eau de Toilette version that so many women have been waiting for. The fragrance has the same DNA, but had the explosive power of before reduced, tamed. That strong floral start from before gained a lighter tone, fruitier and luminous. The cassia is a tree that is part of a species with more than 1700 variations. From one of them, the Chinese-cinnamon is made, for example. It confers an herbal-aromatic tone to the scent. It is different from the cassis, which is born from the gooseberry (of the Ribes species) and has sweet-sour taste and smell.
Over time, it is possible to notice the nuances of violet and myrrh and realize that the perfume of 2000 is still there, but it has lost that strong powdery smell of jasmine. And the base also lost some of the personality, showing more of the musk at this time. It’s a summer perfume, no doubt. And it responds, perfectly, to the complaints made about the original version.
The projection is low and the lasting is only good because of the use of hedione, which works as expected of a synthetic. But for an Eau de Toilette from Kenzo, it behaves more like an Eau de Cologne. The impression I have is that they did not find the middle ground. If it exhaled a little more, I would score ten. It is also a great option for teenagers, who grew up desiring to wear the Kenzo Flower EDP from their mothers.

As suggested by the name, that’s Flower au light. Essentially, it’s the same Flower, but let us not make a mistake since this version displays subtle differences.
Flower Legere struck me with it’s green, airy, slightly bitter and even spicy herbal nature. What’s more interesting is that, this is exactly how a poppy sap smells.
Actually, poppies do have a distinct, faint and herbal scent of their own, not exactly the flowery kind, so that’s why we say or assume that poppies don’t smell, but actually they do have a unique scent of their own, which is bottled here…
Realistic then, and yet abstract at the same time. Categorically a floral, this scent is terrific.
Not quite really about violets or the roses, dare I say, they are abstract here rather than the poppy. The slightly spicy edge should be coming from the incense note. I don’t smell any mandarin orange, but cassis is here, as well as hedione, and a very, very slight black currant.
On my skin the composition is really cool and clean.

Very soft, feminine and pretty. Suits my mood today. Was a present from my daughter and I think she picked well.
