Fragrance Notes
Amour
Kenzo Amour is built on rice, and that single decision is why it smells like almost nothing else.
Rice and white tea open it. Rice as a perfumery note is milky, starchy and faintly powdery rather than sweet, and the white tea beside it is delicate and almost papery. The opening is soft and warm, with no citrus at all.
Frangipani, cherry blossom and heliotrope make up the heart. Frangipani is creamy and tropical, cherry blossom delicate and faintly nutty, and heliotrope powdery. None of the three is assertive, so the middle continues the softness rather than contrasting with it.
Vanilla, musk, incense and thanaka wood finish it. Thanaka is the Burmese wood ground into a paste and worn on the skin as sun protection, dry and faintly woody, and it is the most unusual material in the fragrance. The incense keeps all that creaminess from becoming cloying.
How Kenzo Amour wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately. Cooler weather suits it, and it works for daytime as readily as an evening.
Kenzo Amour Eau de Parfum, launched in 2006 by Kenzo, the Paris house founded in 1970.
