Kenzo Homme Eau De Parfum 110ml

Product Information

Kenzo is a sensual yet consistant marine adventure throughout the dry-down. Its multi-faceted head is a brief glimpse of calm blue ocean waters, swaying seaweed and floating driftwood. The dry down seamlessly transitions to its evergreen heart. This perpetuates and even deepens the marine theme whilst altogether creating something new.

Unlike Cool Water, Kenzo Pour Homme is a woody rather than fougère-based aquatic fragrance. This means that although they share marine and aromatic themes, Kenzo doesn’t feature a fougère structure but accents wood notes instead. Very good fragrance. Quentin Bisch continues to create formulas where Akigalawood becomes the star of the overall profile. Bois Imperial and Ganymede being the best in show, I can now put Kenzo Homme EDP 2022 as the designer/more reachable alternative to the former 2. All at sea… And we mean that in a good way, of course. This is one busy genre with a huge variety of choices and price points.

The sugariness goes on but loses the vigour on its way to the base a couple of hours later. On the long run, I feel more the luscious vanilla note that well blendes with fresh citrus head and woody base notes. If you are anything like me, you should catch the mild facet of the ambroxan, not mentioned in the roster. I mean, looking at the base notes, such as vetiver, cedar, sandalwood and vanilla, and don't see anyone responsible for the resulting sugariness, but ambroxan, which is the new normal. However, are there any of you who notice something in common with Versace's Eros Flame or JPG's Le Male Eau Fraiche as for concerns the sweetness? Maybe it's more than just a suspect, given that the perfumers Nathalie Gracia-Cetto and Oliver Pescheux are also the creators of those fragrances. Kenzo Pour Homme opens with a rich accord of seaweed and sea salt (sel marin) that deeply interact over a complex bed. Rosemary adds an element of aromatic freshness, which accompanies bittersweet bergamot. Discernable mahogany notes evoke leather and tobacco with a sweet finish. Heart Notes Although the aforementioned Davidoff Cool Water predated its release by 3 years, Kenzo’s iteration of aquatics is an altogether different experience. However, it’s difficult not to compare these two fragrances that are alike in both theme and era.

You can definitely tell that they are in the same bloodline, but the EDP has a smoother, darker feeling richness to it. Don’t get me wrong, they both smell VERY similar, but the EDP is done much, much better. The sharp “edge” that EDT intense shouts out is rounded out and softened, but the projection, sillage, and longevity are not affected at all. This is much easier to wear, while maintaining the uniqueness of this line. It is definitely not guilty of being a “main stream designer scent”. As I said above, performance is GREAT. Projecting 3ft+ in radius while leaving a sillage trail that points directly to the wearer, and lasting 10+ hours. If you want longevity, this one is no slouch. Wow, Kenzo really did great on this one. For me, it would have the Honorable mention of best 2022 release in Aquatic scents. Finally, its masculinity is discernable yet curbed rendering it into something that is virile but not overpowering. Presentation and Value For MoneyLikewise, its seasonality render it an almost all-year fragrance. Although it’s effectiveness wanes during the autumn, the oak moss and patchouli notes make it certainly wearable. Furthermore, aromatic spices such as clove make it a plausable option for winter. Meanwhile, the overall marine theme renders it ideal for warmer months during spring and summer. The sandalwood note – deliciously creamy, with a hint of coconut – concludes the scent with finesse.
