In honor of Poppy Fields, I am posting some photos of a promotional event by Kenzo for their perfume Flower.
They installed a field of 200,000 (or so they said, I didn't bother to count) fake poppies in the middle of the Place de la Republique in Lyon, the Saturday that we were there.
They were handing out scented postcards and at the end of the day were giving the poppy flowers away. I think every woman (except me) in Lyon had a bouquet of them.

At least, it's pretty. Sorry you didn't get your bouquet.
So pretty and I can't believe they weren't selling the perfume right there..as a passer by I would have bought some.
What a great way to get girl's attention - just give her a red flower with a nice sent! Good for Kenzo - very creative. Made beautiful photo memory!
Didn't you buy any? Great photo. Nice marketing stunt.
Sorry for posting this here, I couldn't see a contact form for you.
My name is Jamie Sandford and I run a regional website about the Languedoc Roussillon - www.frenchentree.com/languedoc
My wife and I, Greca, do our best to create as comprehensive a site about the region as we can. Having recently started reading a few blogs I thought it would be great for our readers to have a resource of the best blogs in the region and France. We would like to add your blog to the list if you are happy for us to do so, you can see our progress so far here - http://www.frenchentree.com/languedoc-living/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=40066
If you like what we are trying to achieve with our site, and would like to be added to the article, then we would be very grateful if you could spread the news by linking to our home page in return.
Kind regards,
Jamie.
