By the editors · 2 min readThe Flower by Kenzo pillar reinterpreted through transparency and luminosity. Where the original 2000 edition leads with black currant and poppy accord, Eau de Vie opens with a Mediterranean citrus-ginger sequence — bergamot, neroli, petitgrain — that reads as morning light through shutters. Bulgarian rose and orange blossom make up the heart, both restrained and bright. Tonka, benzoin, and white musk close things quietly, adding warmth without thickness. It is a floral built for effortless daily wear rather than statement-making: competent, pleasant, and more accessible than the original if less distinctive.
