How does this compare to the original Flower by Kenzo?+−
While the original is famous for its dense, cosmetic-powder feel, Flower in the Air is much fresher and lighter. It replaces the heavier violet-vanilla focus with watery magnolias and bright raspberry, making it better suited for those who find the original too vintage or stifling.
Is this a good choice for the office?+−
Yes, it is highly recommended for business and professional settings. Its sillage is intimate to moderate, meaning it stays within your personal space and provides a clean, "just-showered" floral scent that is unlikely to bother colleagues.
Which seasons are best for wearing this fragrance?+−
This perfume is most at home in the spring and summer. The freshness of the gardenia and the brightness of the pink pepper flourish in warmer weather, whereas the delicate musk may feel too faint during the cold winter months.
Does the raspberry make it smell like a candy scent?+−
Not exactly. While the raspberry adds a fruity sweetness in the opening, it is balanced by the spice of pink pepper and a large bouquet of "white" florals. It smells more like a fresh garden after rain than a sugary confection.
