Fragrance Notes
Aqua Kenzo Pour Homme
Three materials are all that are recorded for Kenzo Aqua Kenzo Pour Homme Eau de Toilette, and it is an unusually dry, spare set for a fragrance in this part of the market.
Pink pepper is the brightest thing in it, dry and prickling with a faintly rosy sharpness, and it gives the composition whatever lift it has. Sandalwood is the comfort, creamy and smooth and slightly sweet, the most forgiving of the aromatic woods. Cedarwood sits against it as the opposite, sharp and dry and close to a freshly sharpened pencil. Between the two of them the fragrance reads clean and masculine in a conventional, well understood way. There is no evolution worth describing, because there is nothing in the formula to hand over to. What you smell on the first spray is the scent, and it simply gets quieter and closer as the hours pass. For a daily fragrance that is not a weakness, and plenty of people would rather have three good materials than twelve mediocre ones.
Eau de toilette strength on a composition this short means four to six hours and a modest trail. It reads masculine, it is comfortable in heat and in cold alike, and it suits work, the gym bag and ordinary everyday wear rather than an occasion. Louise Turner is credited with it, and the release is dated 2018.
A Japanese designer, Kenzo Takada, started this house in Paris in 1970, opening his first boutique in the Galerie Vivienne and painting it as a jungle. Kenzo is owned by LVMH now, which records the fashion business and Kenzo Parfums as separate operations, meaning the fragrances are developed in house rather than under licence to an outside manufacturer.
