Kenzo RYOKO Collection

Kenzo RYOKO Collection

At first glance, the new RYOKO fragrance ‘pebble’ by Kenzo Parfums could be mistaken for a teeny computer mouse.

Meaning ‘travel’ in Japanese, the RYOKO is a smooth little container housing one of Kenzo’s four favorite scents (FLOWERBYKENZO, SUMMERBYKENZO, L’EAU PAR KENZO pour femme, & L’EAU PAR KENZO pour homme).

Pocket-sized and ergonomically designed, the ‘pebble’ fits so perfectly in our hand we don’t want to put it down.

Ideal for travel or our handbag, this virtually spill-proof (we’re not sure it even opens) RYOKO keeps our favorite Kenzo fragrance with us at all times.

(Okay, second favorite Kenzo fragrance. KenzoAMOUR is not available in a RYOKO. Yet.)

Available August 2007 exclusively at kenzousa.com.

FlowerByKenzo Summer Fragrance

Kenzo FlowerByKenzo Summer Fragrance

Since becoming completely and utterly enamored with Kenzo Amour we couldn’t wait to get our hands on the newest Kenzo fragrance: FlowerByKenzo Summer.

This musky floral scent is everything you want for summer and more. With a vanilla base and notes of Bulgarian rose and gardenia blossom (on our skin, we barely detect the gardenia) this fresh scent is ideal for a day in the summer sun as it is light, playful and alcohol free.

Kenzo FlowerbyKenzo Summer Fragrance is Limited Edition for Summer 2007 and available exclusively at Sephora.

Mi Amour

KenzoAmour

We’ve hit paydirt with Kenzo’s latest fragrance, KenzoAmour. (Yes, we know ‘latest’ means- EIGHT MONTHS AGO, but we’ve been kind of busy.)

Since discovering this incredible fragrance just days ago, we can’t stop applying it- or sniffing ourself for that matter. Where have you been our entire life, Amour?

With notes of frangipani, cherry, rice (we didn’t realize rice had a scent, but it’s the same wonderfulness that we found in KenzoKi Milky-Rice Body Scrub) and a glorious vanilla that lingers and lingers and lingers, this fragrance has had us swooning since Friday.

At just $48 for one ounce of eau de parfum spray, this is a scent that every girl should have.

KenzoAmour, $48-$85

Silky Soft Skin

Have you ever tried rice pudding? It’s like tapioca, only better- sweet and creamy with tons of texture. Add fruit and we can’t think of a better dessert. (Except maybe Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream from Baskin Robbins).

When we opened KenzoKi Milky-Rice Body Scrub, our first reaction was to grab a spoon.

KenzoKi Milky Rice Body Scrub

While this body scrub looks and feels like rice pudding, it smells nothing of the sort.

We’ve been trying for days to come up with a good description of how this smells- but the only word we’ve mustered is gentle. It could be that this “scrub” is not like any other scrub in our shower. This gently exfoliates with soft, pillowy grains of rice that feel more like a massage than exfoliation, leaving our skin feeling smooth and moisturized. While gentle is certainly not a scent, this is exactly what KenzoKi Milky-Rice Body Scrub smells like to us.

And honestly, we could use this every day for the next year and not tire of it.
