Flower by Kenzo L’Elixir by Kenzo

What a lovely perfume; it hurts that I can’t find it anymore. I bought it three times, but when I went back to look, nothing. If they reissued it, it would be a total hit.

The richest fragrance from Kenzo I have ever tried. It makes me furious and sad that they’ve discontinued it; since I have the 50 ml bottle, I’ll have to be very stingy with the sprays.

My mum was given this perfume when I was about 13 or 14, and as she didn’t like it, she passed it to me. I’ve always liked sweet perfumes, but I remember I couldn’t handle this one. It was so strong that it even made me dizzy, so I stopped using it. In short, neither she nor I were a good match for it; I remember it lasted forever but it was very heavy. Sweet to the point of no return.

I absolutely love it! Praline and raspberry. I have to hide it so people don’t use it, and wherever I go, they ask what I’m wearing. The downside is that it’s been discontinued; I’d love to buy it again but can’t find it.

LaDamedeNoir, haha, what a laugh her review is; you’re quite acid, but I like your writing and what you say. I’m still undecided about this perfume. Nothing against the blend of raspberry, rose and musk, but did it need praline? I don’t think so, neither this nor any other perfume, that’s what doesn’t quite convince me. I don’t know whether to keep it or not, I’m still weighing it up. That said, it’s very informal, for daytime, and its performance doesn’t compare to the original Flower, which does last all day for me.

Finally managed to get a refill! Snagged a sealed 100ml box at a normal price (eBay is asking over $200). What madness, I absolutely adore it!

BarbaraG, if you’re from Argentina, you can find the exact replica with any Bagués seller. 💗

It’s a proper gentleman’s perfume 👌😁❤️: talc-like, floral, sweet, elegant and warm. I love it! ❤️😍 Decided to grab a bottle to keep it safe (it’s discontinued) 😔😞 😞 Kenzo should never have taken this away, it’s unique and has no equal (it saved its brother EDP, but this one is more floral, vintage and talc-like). At first, it gave me pause 😒 because it reminded me of its brother which I can’t stand, but over time I got hooked. I can’t stop using it! It’s beautiful!! ❤️❤️ I don’t recommend buying blind 👆 try it on skin first. It’s love or hate!!! Ideal for cold climates!!

It’s a shame they discontinued it and I don’t understand the reason. I hope Kenzo puts it back on the market. I have a bottle saved that I use only for special occasions. Its scent is deliciously sweet without being overwhelming, very feminine. I truly love it.

Kenzo L’ Elixir: I managed to grab a 100ml sample in a shop, fortuitously, and couldn’t pass it up given the glowing reviews. Despite not being a fan of the Flower family or the brand in general, it’s a precious acquisition for my collection. Contrary to my expectations, it didn’t turn dusty; I perceive no talc notes at all. On my skin it behaved like creamy chocolate with red fruits, staying warm and gourmand for about three hours on skin and up to seven on clothes. Although it’s not overwhelming in sillage, it’s noticeable and impregnated the room. It might seem nothing extraordinary, but my star note is that as soon as I atomised it I felt instant well-being, I felt comforted and cheerful all day. Some perfumes change emotions: Good Girl makes me feel attractive, Hypnotic Poison powerful; and this Elixir made me feel happy. I attribute that to the real endocannabinoid effect of the praline and raspberry notes releasing serotonin in my brain… so my paranormal Grenouillean experience, my recognition to the perfumer and the quality. Who will like it: perfume lovers, full stop.

It stopped being sold in my country, and I couldn’t find it even in Orlando, Florida. It’s the only one that accompanies me, and I need it back.

I love it. I stumbled upon it a few days ago at a small perfumery by chance. I had heard about it thanks to Irasema’s ‘Memories of a Perfume’ and knew it was discontinued, so I wasn’t looking. When I saw it, I tried it, liked it immensely, and bought it without hesitation. I was lucky and I’m very pleased.

I absolutely love it; I never thought I’d like a Kenzo. It smells like red fruit bonbons. It doesn’t have much sillage, it’s more for personal enjoyment, but it lasts on the skin for hours. I think it will always be in my collection. I don’t understand why they discontinued it; it’s beautiful.

A delicious, sweet little stick with vanilla undertones and raspberry. Very tasty, although it ends up being so overwhelming that I’m thinking of selling it. It’s a very different perfume but super sweet. Try before you buy!

Finally, I overcame my prejudice against powdery perfumes and bought it blind (since it’s discontinued, that’s the only way). I fell in love at first sniff. It’s quite sweet, with raspberry, vanilla, praline, and rose standing out, along with that subtle powdery hint from its original floral heart. It has excellent projection and longevity; people complimented it even after eight hours, when I stopped smelling it myself and thought it had stopped projecting. Generally very complimentary, it stands out for its beauty without being loud (like Coff Coff Lveb) or brash. With its original note combination, it’s not one of those perfumes that smell on two out of five women; it’s very distinctive. Despite its sweetness, it’s not overwhelming (yes, with any perfume that has presence, you need to be careful not to overapply). I see it as perfect for romantic occasions, befitting a sweet, subtle, refined, elegant, and clean woman (thanks to the powdery hint); even sensual in a non-explicit way, thanks to the velvety way it highlights the skin. I’d wear it in strategic places where I’d like to be heard more closely. As it’s a recent purchase, I’ve only used it in autumn and winter; honestly, I don’t think it was designed for warm climates. Having been so fascinated by it, I bought a backup bottle.
