Flower by Kenzo Eau de Parfum for women

Scent story

To me this smells like the idea of a poppy that never actually existed. The black currant is the first thing — tart, dark berries crushed on the tongue — and then a wave of powder hits: Parma violet, rose, soft as talc on a grandmother's dresser, hawthorn adding something almondy and shy. Opoponax and a thread of incense give the powder warmth, like sunlight through a dusty window, and the white musk-vanilla base is pure softness. It is strange and tender and completely its own thing. Beginner-friendly.
