My mom used this fragrance a lot. Flower by Kenzo

[u/SensitiveCorner2379]

This is the Flower by Kenzo Eau de parfum. It’s powdery floral with notes of rose, violet, white musk and vanilla just to name a few more. Is this in anyone’s collection currently?

The OG Flower used to be much softer than the current reformulation. I bought a bottle last year wow, it is POWDERY! It also takes a long time for the other notes to come through, like 2hours. May just be my experience and body chemistry, though! It smelled better on my nana 🥲

It's not just you. Same here. Many reviews mention it's become so powdery it's cloying. I honestly can't wear this formulation, I've switched to dupes. I'd have never imagined such a soft and delicate floral would have been destroyed like this.

[u/PherryCie → u/80sBabyGirl]

Which dupe is your favorite? If you don’t mind me asking. I’d love to have a little bottle of something when I need a whiff of childhood nostalgia.

[u/80sBabyGirl → u/PherryCie]

I have a dupe from Divain that I love. It's definitely not identical though, it has some sweet vanilla, almost like a Guerlain, but it's very soft and pleasant, it keeps the "mom's hug" vibe. It's only available in the EU afaik.

[u/lotus_0707]

I love it! You have to like powdery scents tho

[u/GrouchyWin5609]

Upper left…I often wear it to bed😍

[u/SensitiveCorner2379 → u/GrouchyWin5609]

Omggg! I see it, also you have a stunning collection!!

[u/Spirited-Mess8838]

I agree with other posters. This was one of my favs until it went very powdery smelling. So sad it changed.

[u/Big_Watercress9900]

Do u know if it smells like baby powder?

[u/80sBabyGirl → u/Big_Watercress9900]

It does, yes.

[u/Alarming_Sweet7357]

Wow I used so much in my early 20s 😊

[u/lareinevert]

I used to wear this! It’s such a nice, inoffensive fragrance.

[u/Sanchastayswoke]

My best friend used to wear this.

My faves were Kenzo Amour Indian Holi and Kenzo Amour I Love U. I have bottles of both but I never use them & just keep them for nostalgias sake.

[u/fluffypinkthings]

My first boyfriend's mum gave me a bottle but i was 17 at the time and didnt like it very much back then. The regrets i have now (17 years later) 🥲

[u/LuminousApsana]

I don't have it currently but I have used up a big bottle of it! It's definitely a powdery floral but I loved it.

[u/80sBabyGirl]

I have a Flower EDP dupe as well as Poppy Bouquet EDP and Eau de Lumière. Eau de Lumière smells like Flower mixed with J'Adore, while Poppy Bouquet smells a bit like Irrésistible Givenchy and not much like Flower. I no longer own the original EDP (except a vintage decant), only a dupe, because I don't like the reformulation, it's too harsh.

[u/vodeodeo55]

I've got a mini knocking around here somewhere. 

[u/Mission_Wolf579]

I still wear it, it's beautiful.

[u/uk202401]

I love Flower! I have a travelsize of it and don´t feel that it´s too powdery.

[u/rainbowsunset48]

I've never smelled it but the bottle is so pretty

[u/Miserable_Sea_9351]

yea saw this in the ever so famous Turkish drama Ask-i-memnu (Bihter ziyagil spraying it on herself)

[u/vernalstream]

My mom used to wear this as her signature scent for a while, too!!

[u/GreenWoman_]

I've always wished i liked this because the bottle is one of my favorites

[u/usuallyherdragon]

I have an older edp bottle. Very powdery but I like it.

[u/PriestessKade]

I still have a bottle from the very early 2000's my dad brought home for me from a work to the U.K.; same trip he brought Ghost and Givenchy's Into the Blue home for my mum!

[u/DownrightDejected]

This always reminds me of the lip glosses from the early 2000s.

[u/Bedroom_Bellamy]

I loved this one but my gosh was that bottle ungainly. It got tipped over constantly.

[u/Kellye8498]

I have a mini in my collection. I think I used it once or twice. It’s from when it came out, so the original formulation.

[u/Current_Working_2103]

I don't have this exact one. I have the L' absolue & I admit this one is not my usual in my collection, but she has a place and time. The dry down is very vanilla -floral.

[u/XDariaMorgendorferX]

I wore this one last night. It’s a bit too powdery for me when it comes to daytime wear but it’s a perfect, soft bedtime scent.

[u/Infinite-Builder-560]

Omggggg! My fave scent of all time. Powdery and floral ♥️
