PowderyWhat does Flower by Kenzo L'Absolue smell like?
It opens with saffron, which brings a spicy edge. Damask rose absolute and orange blossom form the floral heart, while vanilla and white musk sweeten the base and soften it into something powdery, woody and slightly oriental.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind. It is worn across daytime, work and evening, and most voters read it as feminine.
