Nashi Pear
Almond BlossomFlower by Kenzo Cherry Poppy
Flower by Kenzo Cherry Poppy Eau de Parfum takes the rose idea the house is known for and puts fruit on top of it. The result, dating from 2020, is lighter and more playful than the line's usual register.
Nashi pear opens it, and the choice is a good one. Nashi is the crisp, watery Asian pear, nothing like the thick sweetness of a European one, so the fragrance begins juicy and cool instead of heavy. That transparency carries on into the middle, where bulgarian rose arrives bright and fresh, the clean strain of the flower rather than the deep one, with gardenia beside it adding a creamy, slightly rubbery white floral weight that stops the fruit running away with the whole thing.
Almond blossom closes it, and this is the part worth paying attention to. It is a soft, powdery flower with a faint bitterness at the back, and it gives the drydown a gentle, slightly milky quality that sits very close to the skin. Nothing in the fragrance is heavy, and nothing is sharp either. Four materials in total, so expect a scent that states its case quickly and then stays put. At eau de parfum strength it will give you five or six hours, forward for the first and intimate after that. It reads young and feminine, suits spring and summer, daytime, and warm evenings where something heavier would be too much, and it makes an easy choice for anyone who finds classic rose compositions too serious.
Kenzo itself came out of Paris in 1970, founded by Kenzo Takada, a Japanese designer whose first shop in the Galerie Vivienne was fitted out as a jungle. Fragrance is handled by Kenzo Parfums inside LVMH, the group that owns the brand.
