Fragile yet strong. Meet the latest KENZO Paris Parfums, FLOWER BY KENZO L’ELIXIR.

Inspired by poppy flower which eventually scentless, this new fragrance is soft and sensual. Launched to celebrate 15 years of the famous Flower by Kenzo fragrance, I found L’Elixir more intense than their previous ones.

As we can see on the bottle, the notes are: Framboise (raspberry), Essence de Rose (from Bulgarian Rose), Praline (which gave this fragrance a gourmand effect) and Absolu Vanille (aka Bourbon Vanilla Absolute). As precious as the notes, the bottle also look sophisticated. It’s dark, mysterious.

I went to their launch event and it was all Poppy Red. Check out Ming Xi, the gorgeous Chinese model as their face.

FLOWER POWER

What is Kenzo Takada (simply known as Kenzo) doing these days after he retired from his fashion house at 1999?

Well, he’s busy doing another designing gig. But not for other fashion houses. After LVMH took over Kenzo fashion house, he said that he’d rather work in decor. Well, his latest ‘decor’ gig is a collection of fine jewelry for a private atelier called 10 Royale. 20 pieces in the range created and designed by Kenzo, includes super duper expensive materials like diamonds and ruby. The theme will be classic floral bloom, so expect to see lots of flowers with the bling. 

ARE U A KENZO VANS? 

The 2nd installment of Vans shoes and Kenzo collaboration, on the original skate shoe called the Authentic. It’ll be sold at all Kenzo stores in mid-August 2012.
