    I like the commercial, I think it’s whimsical and light-hearted. I love that red dress she’s wearing! The whole thing makes me want to sniff my Kenzo Flower this morning, maybe I can see red flowers floating about too :)

      Kenzo does a brilliant job with visual advertising, both print & video. Love this one!

    Très cool! I love the idea of poppies falling from the sky. Also like the folk-rock-gypsy aspect of the music. I was underwhelmed by Flower the first time I smelled it – the commercial makes me think I’ll give it another go.

      There are some really wonderful older Flower commercials too…do a search on YouTube if you need more cajoling ;-)

    What a lovely little ad! It is nice to see something pretty and fresh – there are too many garish overdone “sex” ads in fragrance for sure. I love Kenzo Flower and the new Essentielle too. Love those red poppies!

      I too appreciate a fragrance commercial that isn’t “selling sex” the way some of them try to. I am a Kenzo fan as well, although I don’t have to original Flower. I have Flower Oriental.

      And yet most fragrance ads aren’t even half so good as this!

    I liked this a lot. It appealed to my sense of whimsy. A refreshing break from the overload of half naked Lolitas being used.

      Yes, we need more whimsical ads…
