Flower L’Elixir
Flower L’Elixir by Kenzo is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2017 in the designer price tier. It opens with damask rose and bergamot, moves into violet, iris and plum and dries down to vanilla, white musk and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
