Kenzo Eau de Fleur de Plum


Kenzo has a new fragrance in the Eaux de Fleurs line , Eau de Fleur de Plum .

This is a very soft, light scent. Not quite a skinscent as it does end up with nice sillage , but close. The scent is meant to be reminiscent of plum blossoms .

At first spritz is has an oddly aquatic moment but that passes. It gets softer and more floral and then the plum notes comes out. The plum is not overly pronounced but gives it a little fruit scent. As it dries down it gets a powderiness and a feather light almond note.

Created in colloboration with one of my all time favorite perfumers, Francis Kurkdjian ,this take times to really come to it's full drydown scent. A good half hour or more later, I had a nice, light floral scent with that hint of plum . One that lasted well and was very different from the beginning or even middle stages. The ending scent is quite nice.

Eau de Fleur de Plum is avaliable exclusively at http://www.kenzousa.com/and sells for $ 55.00 for 1.7 oz
