I'll have to get a sample. I'm not sure where I can find Flower Oriental in physical stores here. I'll have to look around.kuri*https://www.blogger.com/profile/02526803458973814141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325968.post-1151652445693079912006-06-30T00:27:00.000-07:002006-06-30T00:27:00.000-07:00Hi Kuri!

I still remember his "Le Monde Este Beau", from some years ago, a nice blend of passion-fruit and other citrussy notes. I am not sure if it's discontinued or not, for I did not see it anymore in the shelves. Ah well, it was sooo lovely...<BR/><BR/>I will read your new post now! Have a wonderful weekend,<BR/><BR/>a.Andrea Leite Marqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070758638968538548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325968.post-1151640890813343912006-06-29T21:14:00.000-07:002006-06-29T21:14:00.000-07:00I'm doing ok.

I just read about Flower Oriental the other day at perfumecritic.com; it sounds lovely though I don't know much about incense notes. I haven't actually run across it in person yet. I'd also like to try Summer by Kenzo; have you tried it?kuri*https://www.blogger.com/profile/02526803458973814141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325968.post-1151621701800999682006-06-29T15:55:00.000-07:002006-06-29T15:55:00.000-07:00Hi Kuri!

I al...Hi Kuri! <BR/><BR/>Hope you are doing great these days!<BR/> <BR/>I also don't like Kenzo's "Flower" at all, but love its "Oriental" version, the one with the black peony, calligraphy-style. <BR/><BR/>The little parchment roll inside the box says it's a combination of "Flower" (the original) with Kyara, "a rare and precious incense wood in Japan" - still according to the text. <BR/><BR/>While I cannot detect any simmilarities with the impulsive, in-your-face almost, floral qualities of the former, I think this new rendition is quite lovely: woodsy, slightly vanillic maybe, and subtly powdery in the base notes. Very comfortable, especially for those colder, windy days.<BR/><BR/>Did you try this already? <BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>AndreaAndrea Leite Marqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070758638968538548noreply@blogger.com
