What a beautiful perfume; it hurts that I can’t find it anymore. I bought it three times, but when I went back to look for it, nothing. If they reissued it, it would be a total hit.
Perhaps it’s the best flanker of Kenzo Flower. Flower L’Elixir is a super powdery, sweet-floral fragrance with incredible longevity and projection. From the start, it smells of flowers like rose and jasmine, with a praline base that makes it eternal. What a shame they discontinued it; I have 10 ml left and will have to use them sparingly. If anyone can get their hands on it, it’s a safe buy. It’s a masterpiece by Alberto Morillas.
The richest Kenzo fragrance I’ve ever tried. I’m angry and sad they discontinued it; since I have the 50 ml bottle, I’ll have to be super stingy with the sprays.
Pure charm in a bottle. Fresh and modern, it’s perfect for standing out effortlessly. Its vibrant yet soft blend accompanies you all day, leaving a subtle but memorable trail. Ideal for adding an elegant touch to your everyday. Definitely a must-have!
My mom got this perfume when I was about 13 or 14, and since she didn’t like it, she passed it to me. I’ve always loved sweet perfumes, but I remember I couldn’t handle this one. It was so strong it made me dizzy, and I stopped wearing it. In short, neither of us got along with it; I remember it lasted forever but was very heavy. Overly sweet.
If you like this perfume in Argentina, you have an identical dupe: Bagues 36th Anniversary. If you’re interested, we have it in our Instagram store: @tresmundos.bagues.
I absolutely love it! Praline and raspberry. I have to hide it so people don’t use it, and wherever I go, they ask what I’m wearing. The bad part is they discontinued it; I wish I could buy it again but can’t find it.
Last week, a store gave me two samples, and I just opened one. What a delicious, sweet, and powdery perfume. What a shame they discontinued it.
LaDamedeNoir, haha, what a funny review; you’re quite acidic, but I like how you write and what you say. I’m undecided about this perfume. Nothing against the raspberry-rose-musk blend, but did it need praline? I don’t think so, neither this nor any other perfume, that’s what doesn’t quite convince me. I don’t know if I should keep it or not; I’m still on the fence. That said, it’s very informal, for daytime, and its performance doesn’t compare to the original Flower, which does last me all day.
What I perceive most is subtly powdery raspberry with praline and vanilla. It’s a fragrance I’ll always like; I fell in love with its bottle and then its scent.
Finally found a refill! Snagged 100ml in sealed box at regular price (eBay was asking over $200). What a madness, I absolutely love it!
My soul aches over its discontinuation 😭
BarbaraG, if you’re from Argentina, you can find the exact replica with any Bagués seller. 💗
Does anyone know of a dupe???? 🥹
I adore it! For years I used the traditional Flower, the first Kenzo, then I mistakenly bought Flower Eau de Lumière thinking it was the same; I liked it less and I think I sold it. A while back I tried this, couldn’t buy it, and now I have it in the line of dupes I sell. It’s equally exquisite, comforting, sweet but not cloying. It’s gourmand but not heavy; on my skin I feel a fruity-floral gourmand, like a mix of raspberry-praline and bourbon vanilla. What a pleasure! Although it’s sweet and strong, it’s not overwhelming, it has sillage and longevity. I fell in love and I think it will be one of my favorites for a long time. It suits any age, it’s timeless. I love it and recommend it to those who like sweet-floral-gourmand perfumes!
It’s a gentleman’s perfume 👌😁❤️: talcum-powdery, floral, sweet, elegant, and warm. I love it! ❤️😍 I decided to grab a bottle to keep (it’s discontinued) 😔😞 😞 Kenzo should never have taken this away; it’s unique and has no equal (it saved its brother EDP, but this one is more floral, vintage, and talcum-powdery). At first, I was repelled 😒 because it reminded me of its brother that I can’t stand, but over time I got hooked. I can’t stop using it! It’s gorgeous!! ❤️❤️ I don’t recommend buying blind 👆 test it on skin first. It’s love or hate!!! Ideal for cold climates!!
It’s a shame they discontinued it and I don’t understand why. I hope Kenzo brings it back to market. I have a bottle saved that I use only for special occasions. Its scent is deliciously sweet without being overbearing, very feminine. I truly love it.
I love it, what a shame they discontinued it but I managed to grab a bottle for when I run out of the one I have. It was hard to find at a good price but I did. On my skin it has great sillage and longevity; every time I wear it people ask what perfume it is. It makes me feel great.
I got this at a super good price and still have many milliliters left. It’s a pity it’s discontinued but what joy to have found it. I loved it: I feel raspberries bathed in milk chocolate with a certain talcum-powdery note. I love it🥹🍫🍓
Kenzo L’ Elixir: I managed to grab a 100ml sample in a store, fortuitously, and couldn’t pass it up given the glowing reviews. Despite not being a fan of the Flower family or the brand in general, it’s a precious addition to my collection. Contrary to my expectations, it didn’t turn powdery; I don’t perceive any talcum notes at all. On my skin it behaved like creamy chocolate with red fruits, staying warm and gourmand for about three hours on skin and up to seven on clothes. Although it’s not an overwhelming sillage, it’s noticeable well and soaked the room. It could seem nothing extraordinary, but my star note is that as soon as I atomized it I felt instant well-being, I felt comforted and happy all day. Some perfumes change emotions: Good Girl makes me feel attractive, Hypnotic Poison powerful; and this Elixir made me feel happy. I attribute that to the endocannabinoid realism of the praline and raspberry notes releasing serotonin in my brain… so my paranormal Grenouillean experience, my recognition to the perfumer and to the quality. Who will like it: lovers of perfumery, period.
Sales stopped in my country, and I couldn’t even find it in Orlando, Florida. It’s the only one that accompanies me, and I need it back.
I have a decant and I absolutely love it! I can’t believe I found it after losing all hope. I searched online stores, eBay, and everywhere, until I spotted it in a local perfumery in a beautiful box: bottle, lotion, and case. I’m so happy; I’ll keep it forever.
I love it. I found it a few days ago by chance at a small perfumery. I had heard about it thanks to Irasema from ‘Memorias de un perfume’; I knew it was discontinued and wasn’t looking for it. When I saw it, I tested it, liked it so much, and bought it without hesitation. I got lucky and I’m very happy.
It certainly shares DNA with the original in the powdery notes. This one is much more gourmand, with a vanilla twist and those berry notes. What a pity they discontinued it. Today, January 4, 2023, there are only about 8 units of 100ml left scattered across some El Corte Inglés stores in Spain. I couldn’t resist buying one. 125€ for 100ml, but they’re worth it!
A exquisite gourmand, nothing like the original in my opinion; I didn’t like the original. This one is sweet, intense, sexy, youthful, sparkling, and delicious. I have the 30ml version and already bought the larger one. It’s a must-have for those of us who love sweet and fruity perfumes.
I love it. I never thought a Kenzo would ever appeal to me. It smells like red berry bonbons. It doesn’t have much sillage; it’s more for personal enjoyment, but it lasts on the skin for hooooras. I think it will always be in my collection. I don’t understand why they discontinued it; it’s beautiful.
A delicious, sweet little stick with vanilla undertones and raspberry. Very tasty, though it ends up annoying me so much that I’m thinking of selling it. It’s a very different perfume but super sweet. Try before you buy!
How could they DISCONTINUE IT? Oh my god! I can’t believe I can’t smell this delight anymore. I’ll treasure the bottle I have left with so much love. I love this fragrance. It’s wonderful. Sweet but not cloying, youthful but not childish, with citrus notes that give it the perfect touch. I love it. Since I tested it, I’ve worn it non-stop and it never gets old. That happens with very few perfumes. I hope Kenzo realizes its mistake and doesn’t pull it from the market.
Sweet rose, raspberry-infused, vanilla, and powdery. A marvelous fragrance. Potent and embracing, my winter essential, one of my favorites among sweet powdery gourmands. It’s not childish; its sweetness is more sophisticated. One of my must-haves. A mistake to discontinue it. — What other designer scents do you consider similar?
Finally, I conquered my prejudice against powdery perfumes and bought it blind (since it’s discontinued, that’s the only way). I fell in love at first sniff. I find it quite sweet; raspberry, vanilla, praline, and rose stand out, plus that slight powdery hint from the original flower. It has excellent projection and longevity; people have complimented it even after 8 hours, when I stopped smelling it myself and thought it had faded. It’s generally very complimentary; it stands out for its beauty without being loud (unlike Coff Coff Love) or scandalous. With its original note combination, it’s not one of those perfumes that smells on 2 out of 5 women; it’s very distinguishable. Despite its sweetness, it’s not overwhelming (yes, with any perfume that has presence, you have to be careful not to overapply). I see it as perfect for romantic settings, worthy of a sweet, subtle, refined, elegant, and clean woman (thanks to the powdery hint); even sensual in a non-explicit way, due to the velvety way it highlights the skin. I’d wear it in strategic places where I’d like to be heard more closely. Since it’s a recent purchase, I’ve only used it in autumn and winter; honestly, I don’t think it was designed for warm climates. Since it fascinated me so much, I bought a backup.
