Kenzo
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
A burst of tart, juicy raspberry meets snappy pink pepper—bright and almost sparkling against the skin, with a jammy sweetness that immediately signals this will be a fruity-floral rather than a pure rose composition. The pepper adds a subtle spice that cuts through any potential candy-like excess.
The florals emerge gradually, and here Morillas's restraint becomes apparent—the rose, magnolia, and gardenia blend into a unified, creamy white floral accord with noticeable powdery edges. This phase is undoubtedly the fragrance's best moment, where the fruity opening and sweet florality achieve genuine balance, creating something akin to wearing the scent of a peony bouquet left in sunlight.
The white musk base becomes painfully obvious as the fragrance's defining limitation—what remains is barely perceptible, a whisper of powdery sweetness that fades rapidly into skin scent territory. Within four to five hours, you'll be questioning whether it's still there at all.
Flower in the Air is a fragrance caught between whisper and silence—a delicate floral that arrives like morning mist through an open window, all suggestion and atmosphere. Alberto Morillas has constructed something genuinely soft here, a composition where the raspberry and pink pepper opening immediately soften into a honeyed floral core. That opening brightness doesn't announce itself aggressively; instead, the raspberry provides a gentle sweetness that prevents the rose, magnolia, and gardenia heart from becoming cloying or funeral. These three florals create a luminous, slightly creamy effect—the magnolia adding that characteristic soapy brightness whilst the gardenia lends a tuberose-adjacent creaminess without the indolic punch.
What's striking is how this sits in the powdery sweet territory without tipping into grandmotherly territory. The accords suggest heavy florality, yet the fragrance's signature quality (and chief weakness) is its ethereal, almost imperceptible presence. This is a scent for someone who views fragrance as a whispered confidence rather than a statement. It's the olfactory equivalent of wearing linen—deliberately understated, somehow more sophisticated for its restraint.
