Best Flower by Kenzo by Kenzo Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

The sensual and timeless allure of Joséphine, the woman most loved by Napoleon, is the soul of this namesake perfume, Here Joséphine is reborn as an enveloping floriental. In the opening, the fruity syrup of Bulgarian rose mingles with violet, complicated by the ripe musk of hawthorn and the caramel spice of opoponax. The velvety background of amber is warmed by the resinous tones of Oman incense.

Delulu is a soft-focus dream sequence in oversaturated colours, swirling across a soundtrack of shoegaze and nineties/noughties indie.This particular sequence follows childhood into adolescence: a favourite toy, a pack of crayons, a melted sweet in your jeans pocket, a bite of berry pie, a long sunny day doing nothing. There’s fizzy cedrat and the salty-fresh friction of tart rhubarb against rooty vetiver. Like all dreams, things get weird: a niff of rosy plastic and smoky incense. Yesterday is a place you can never visit again, but it’s still an escape from tomorrow. That’s Delulu.

Delulu bottle caps are hand made from memories, specifically a nostalgic jumble of plastic beach toys captured in epoxy resin.

Almaz, the Arabic word for diamonds, are renowned not only for their beauty, but also for their timelessness as they withstand millions of years of immense pressure in their formation. This EdP references the indestructible nature of diamonds with a powerful blackcurrant-led bouquet. Juiciness is enhanced with raspberry, while powdery heliotrope and musk add padding to the cushiony feel. The ambered base, redolent with vanilla and brown sugar, offsets blackcurrant’s tartness.
 
The jewelled bottle incorporates a poem composed by Elen Jeres Ayoub, portrayed in Eastern Kufic calligraphy. The words have been meticulously placed so that the vertical lines create eight zones on the bottle, representing the lunar phases in each lunar calendar month to represent the passage of time.

The seasons and their times
And pressures and their effects,
Bear Diamonds as their fruit.
-Elen Jeres Ayoub

September 1757, Casino Venier, Venice

A powdery floral fragrance based on authentic 18th century cosmetic formulas.

A coquettish floral capturing the decadence of 18th century Venice, its rococo interiors and clandestine affairs: a powdery blend of black violet, blush rose, and chamomile nestled on an impossibly soft base of dusty iris and subtle, animalic amber. 

Jean Claude Ellena for Perris

Mimosa arrived in French Provence in the middle of the 19th century, making its way from Australia via Hyde Park and Crystal Palace. It was the Victorians (who spent their winters in the Riviera) who launched the fashion for this elegant tree. The demand for the beautifully fragrant mimosa bloom became so great that they were planted on a commercial scale in Tanneron, a commune just above Cannes.

Perfumers started introducing mimosa as a perfume note into formulas around the 1940’s. Now, the third decade into the 21st century, mimosa and its innocent green aroma is going through a mini renaissance.

Perris again collaborated with an amazing perfume artist to create their mimosa story. Jean Claude Ellena describes his Mimosa Tanneron as an ode to tenderness, sweetness, and the sensation of love about to begin.

In the understated chic of Parisienne style, it’s details that matter: the perfect red lipstick, a delicate gold necklace, the right perfume. And this is the right perfume — a sparkling floral and patchouli confection that is lush but not overstuffed. Jasmine and rose meets raspberry and vanilla for put-together prettiness.

Exploring autumnal woods and London parks is an endless experience. Colorful palette of feelings and emotions touches the inner self. Rose petals slowly falling on the dark, warm earth. The lights passing through autumnal tree leaves play a symphony of emotions.

The eau de parfum Ruby Wood is rose- woody- balsamic floriental scent with the red berry and coffee nuances. The perfume was created by Eglija Vaitkevice in 2018.

A dream of childhood summer days. You’re in a garden, familiar and unfamiliar, looking into the kitchen of a house where your mother makes jam with fresh-picked berries. There’s a rose bush with a magical cat underneath, its dense fur filled with your favourite toys. A sublime aroma of tart blackcurrant and rhubarb, sweet lychee and magnolia, along with woody amber ferries you off to a dreamlike world, brimming with enchantment at every corner. You don’t want to wake up.

Perfumer: Julia Rodriguez Pastor

A perfume celebrating the legendary Damask rose, and its travel across ancient empires along the Silk Route. The formula is a complex tale of the rose's journey through souks filled with fantastic fruit and precious spices, mixing with sea breezes to encompass the Mediterranean.

A passionate declaration of love written in ink and blood. The scent opens on a dark, almost smoky red rose, pierced with crimson sparks. Metallic aldehydes emerge, adding tension and intensity. Dense magnolia adds a sweaty sweetness. The opoponax warms and deepens the whole, leaving a profound, mysterious signature.
