A transparent interpretation of the original Flower by Kenzo, stripped of much of its powder and amplified in its greener, more aqueous dimensions. The opening carries a sharp violet leaf freshness that feels like snapping stems in cool water, with crisp pear lending brightness without sweetness. As it settles, the poppy accord becomes less about opulence and more about delicate translucency—a floral veil rather than a bouquet.
The rose here is dewier than romantic, its presence felt through a soft, wet petal quality that never goes full-bloom. White musk in the base keeps everything sheer and close to the skin, extending the composition without adding weight. This is minimalism in the French style: precision over decoration.
Where the original announced itself boldly, Essentielle whispers. It suits those who want the gesture of florals without the theatre, an everyday fragrance for someone drawn to modern simplicity over vintage drama.
