KENZO introduced the Flower Ikebana Sakura collection in 2023, inspired by the cherry blossom. In 2024, the collection introduced the Flower Ikebana MIMOSA, a floral powdery fragrance inspired by the warm embrace of a winter sun. The fragrance features Mimosa Absolute and its ambient air, with hinoki wood verticality and golden sesame extract providing addictive comfort. The collection is a unique and captivating addition to KENZO’s fragrance line.
“My aim was to create a velvety and enveloping olfactory experience. The radiant and warm aura of mimosa, coupled with sesame acting as a liaison, introduces a silky, delicately carnal texture of utmost elegance. Similar to the art of Ikebana, a hint of Japanese hinoki.” – Marie Salamagne, perfumer of FLOWER IKEBANA MIMOSA
This composition is made of 91% naturally sourced ingredients. Mimosa is enhanced by a bouquet of 3 raw materials well known in Japan: the Kumquat Zests with its citrus fruity, green, and bitter notes, the Golden Sesame pure extract (via CO2 extraction) with its roasted and creamy notes, typical of the Japanese cuisine, and the Hinoki wood accord, a Japanese variety of Cypress with woody, aromatic, fresh, and resinous notes. All these ingredients combined create a new fragrance of a blooming sunshine bouquet.
KENZO created a new flower design with a stylized branch of Mimosa, whose color is reminiscent of the Kumquat – the perfect mix between the shape of the French Mimosa and the Japanese Kumquat.
Kenzo Flower Ikebana Mimosa Eau de Parfum is available in formats of 40ml (Php 6,950) and 75ml (Php 8,450).
