7:15 AM in Bali

Long ago, I sold my Kenzo 7:15 am in Bali on EBay. I thought it was too strong with crazy longevity on me and "flat" vanilla. At that time, I was wearing Chopard Casmir, so you can see why the poor Kenzo didn't stand a chance. I recently swapped for it, and I got it back into my collection. At the same time, I swapped for a 5ml decant of L'Elephant. I thought I really would learn more by wearing these two Kenzo vanillas side by side, so the left wrist has the L'Elephant and the right wrist has the 7:15 in Bali. Both are creamy, but not sweet vanillas. I use mexican vanilla when I cook because it's much better quality and has almost no alcohol. Kenzo vanilla is like that. It's rich and creamy pure vanilla pared down. So, what the house of Kenzo does, is add other elements to that vanilla base to change it up. The L'Elephant has a dry leaves and hot dirt in the sun feeling. Because I also have Dzing!, which has the horse note, this Kenzo does have a dry elephant skin note at the very opening! I really don't know how they managed that, but I love it. This fragrance DID remind me of my safari in Kenya. It had the wide open skies, the airy vast feel, the dry hot earth in the sunshine (not wet damp dirt like Demeter), and sunshine all on top of that cozy vanilla. The citrus notes with the vanilla actually smell like sunshine! I feel like this really would be the perfect fragrance to wear on safari when you're in the hot sun in those open air jeeps watching all the beautiful elephants walk by. It's making me feel so happy I could cry. The 7:15am in Bali has that same vanilla base, but with soft palm fronds layered over it. I also got a very very light orchid smell, which I would like to amplify. This one also reminded me of Bali. Bali is probably the lushest, greenest, most floral place I've ever been. One of my favorite things to do in Bali is to go to the spas. There are so many spas in town where you can get a massage, bath, and scrub. One place I feel in love with had little cabanas in a circle around a carved teakwood garden setting. You'd go into your little cabana and get into a warm bath with a ton of floating orchids, then you'd get a sugar scrub and a massage. After the massage, you go sit on a teakwood recliner in the flower garden to relax. Kenzo has managed to bottle all that!! The only note that I didn't get much of was the orchid flowers, but I can layer it in. The 7:15 in Bali has the green palm fronds from the garden, with the vanilla smell that I love, with a hint of the warm woods. I can't believe I couldn't smell this when I first owned it, and now, I am completely head over heels in love!

Instantly recognizable as a Kenzo fragrance Almost like it says "I am Kenzo, be prepared. You know who I am, let me welcome you to the experience." It is sweet like candy, but not the kind of candy you find usually in fragrances. It's not like cotton candy, gummy bears. Not like a celebrity scent appealing to teens who want to smell like a sugar bomb. It's more of a sweet, soft, slightly creamy sweet made for adult taste. Imagine planning your dream trip to Bali, expecting what it would be like. Things are rarely what you imagine them to be, but your trip to Bali is exactly what you expected and wanted. That feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment mixed with pure joy and relaxation is what is evoked in me when I smell this - my expectations are reality. So first of all, when I see grapefruit in a fragrance, I avoid it. The fact that 7:15am in Bali also has passion fruit only further pushes me away. The scents I have tried with this combination always, ALWAYS result in an acidic, pungent, sour quality that I just do not like and it does not work on me. However, 7:15 leaves only the most sweet, creamy, and friendly aspects of these fruits, though their signature qualities are still there. They are perfectly balanced with florals of jasmine and orchid which soften it even further. Lastly we have this delicious, warm, creamy vanilla that wraps everything up and slowly sinks in through the notes, blending beautifully as our journey of 7:15am in Bali continues. As we come to the end, like a memorable vacation, the sweetness I initially experienced returns quietly as a reminder, until this scent slowly disappears and sinks slowly into warm vanilla, until you're left with nothing but a lovely memory of 7:15am in Bali.

Another great find by the House of Kenzo. And as usual, I always fall hard for LE's fragrances and this is now very hard to find. I don't know "notes" too well, but this is an exotic blend of familiar smells. This is a lovey tropical with orange vanilla and some coconut cream yet it's not foody. I love orange in the warmer months and usually find vanilla better in cooler months. But this is done in such a way I'd prefer it warmer months, but will wear it year round. The orange is the perfect citrus fruit that's not bitter like grapefruit or tart like lemon. The vanilla is not a warm vanilla but more like vanilla ice cream. And the coconut gives it the creaminess and exoticisim that tropical quality. I will wear this when i go on vacation . . . whether it is for real or just in my imagination. Simply lovely.

a molti questo episodio di viaggio non piace, abituati a considerare kenzo una garanzia di originalità (sarà poi vero, a parte qualche felicissima eccezione) nella ideazione di profumi. io, al contrario, sono intrigata da questo accordo che si ispira ad una mattina o ad una colazione, fate voi, balinese, e che riporta semplicemente note esotiche di vaniglia, orchidea e frutto della passione su una bella base di pompelmo. Nulla di originale, nulla di spettacolare, soltanto la sintesi, nel senso chimico del termine, delle 7,15 a Bali. Esotico senza essere fastidiosamente carico di tiarè e simili, fruttato senza essere sciropposo, discreto quanto basta per immaginarsi lontani senza strillare. bello e fuori produzione.

I got a small sample from this wonderful fragrance and when I tested, I knew: I will buy a whole bottle. The fragrance is soft, not too strong, but fit to my skin very well. When dries down, I feel vanilla and orchid, and - it’s interesting - feel some coconut notes (although not contains coconut). It’s not similar, but the character of this fragrance on my skin reminds me to JLO Miami Glow. When I wear, my feeling is the same: hot summer nights at the sea. I'd rather name it 7:15 PM in Bali.

Very nice, warm perfume for a special evening. It smells a bit sweet, like vanilla, with something light warm woody and a little jasmine... Very sexy, feminine, attractive and chique perfume. I love it very much! It's a pity this was a special edition only on sale at the airport.

one of my friens used this, since i smelled i triedto find it but unfortunately i couldnt find it where i live. she says that the salesman told her that really in bali in 7:15 am flowers makes the air smell like paradise and this parfume has been created to smell like that!

I was flirting for several month with this perfume, in each airport i passed. Finally decided to buy but then the next one appeared (madagascar) creating a big dilemma :) finally i went for Bali, mostly for the passionfruit-orchid combination.

I do love Amour and I think 7:15 is like his cousin. More creamy, soft and more wearable all year. I bought it in a store in Bahamas. Love at first. Sad it's discontinued. Why is that??????.

I use it to go to college, it's not a strong fragrance, but it's delicious! Everytime I use it I feel good. The fixation is very good in my skin, above 5 hours.

I enjoy this fragrance very much though I have to agree it doesn't last long. This perfume I find sweet and soft as a morning with beloved one.

I like it again and again, it's perfect for hot weather. It's not disturbing very sweet and soft.

14. december 2020 It seems like most of Kenzo fragrances are not really my best matches and to me most of them are quite boring. This Bali fragrance is also the case, it is very nice done vanilla scent with sprakling grapefruit and the ingredients are of a high quality, but still it lacks that extra "oomph" for me. And judging by the price of it i can tell you that it is overhyped. You can get similar fragrances for less. Call me crazy, but i get a very close dupe of L ́instant by Guerlain after the opening fades away. It is quite linear without development, it basically stays the same the whole time and this is not much exciting for me either. It does remind me a lot of Madagascar, but this one is lighter. I also get quite a similar vibe with Boucheron ́s "Trouble" but Bali is less powdery and less strong. Overall it is nice but as i said before it is not something i would brag about or spend a fortune on. Moderate sillage and average lasting power. I have sold my bottle, since for me i like my "L ́instant" much more and they are quite close to me, when i tested them side by side, so since i have enough of "L ́instant" i decided to let go of less exciting "Bali" Do not remove this comment, i strongly believe not every single comment should be positive and negative ones are actually quite useful for people who buy blindly

I like it, but I prefer 5.40 P. M. in Madagascar, it lasts longer and it's more memorable. Kenzo in Bali is a pleasant smell with strong vanilla and flowery notes, also nice grapefruit. All in all stays rather close to skin but more than 12 hours on me, that's good. It's darker than Kenzo in Madagascar, actually it brings flowers and fruit covered in chocolate to my mind, or a room in semi-darkness, spring or summer, morning is near, air blooms. Comforting and subtle, a bit similar to Madagascar in climate but different ( it's thicker, Madagascar is more as if a cloud was flowing around you). I'd say it's a fragrance good for days you just want to feel comfortable, nice, you're tired of too sophisticated fragrances and as if you went to hot countries. I've never been to Bali, so hard to say if it shows the real atmosfere in the place, but I really admire these fragrances - stops to show atmosphere of nature and places I've never been to. The bottle looks nice. What the fragrance lacks is I wish there were better quality ingredients here. In my opinion it's oriental-vanilla or even oriental gourmand (but not imitating food!) Lasting power: 3,50/5 Fragrance: 3,7/5 Sillage: 3/5 Bottle: 4,80/5

Mm. Sweet and sour, airy, very Kenzo. On me it's barely more acidic than vanillic. I can't believe there isn't any frangipani note in it, it has that kind of a vibe. Don't lynch me over this but there is something in it that reminds me of Midnight Fantasy as well, though certainly very restrained. The name seems about right, it has a morning kind of vibe, but I almost feel like it evokes a cityscape rather than Bali. I don't know why this is, I haven't even been outside of Europe, so I wouldn't know what Indonesia/Bali is like to begin with. This fragrance makes me think of living in the heart of a major Asian metropolis and getting ready to dive into the morning bustle on a day where you feel well-rested and excited for what the day will bring, maybe knowing you have a date lined up after work or something like that.

7:15 am in Bali is a creamy wonder. It starts, and finishes, the same on me which makes me very happy. It's a creamsicle reformed into a high end, low lit, romantic restaurant, fine dessert. This would be a custard delicately, a lightly browned top, surrounded by creamy orange and vanilla sauces lightly drizzled on the plate. The creamsicle effect is most likely the passion fruit blended with the vanilla but it's very soft and unassuming and I love it. It stays close to the skin after the opening but it's well worth the effort to re-apply if needed. For me it conjures up a humid steamy summer evening out. It isn't necessarily sexy, more warm and slightly sultry. I just picked up a full bottle after burning through my sample vial. I agree with nathalieZ, this is definitely more feminine.

Love from the first split. Actually it's not that feminine to me. The sweetness of this fragrance come from vanilla and no heady floral. It's simple(I admit) but still very good. Sweet and creamy. Very comforting like a dawn and morning breeze at beautiful resort. a romantic one. For the unisex fragrance it may a bit on feminine side but not too feminine for a guy either. I found it soft vanilla and not candy or floral sweet. New fav for me and I'll take it everywhere.

That's an interesting one. I got a sample of it and as I tried for the first time I didn't believe this was unisex as it seems to me that this is really female scent. But why not, after a while I could imagine a man wearing this one too. I feel like bathing in vanilla rice puding wearing this one - which makes me feel so comfortable and somehow I find it attractive too. Nice, cozy, warm (prefer this one for winter or fall would do either I guess).

This smells like the morning sun on your skin, the kind that lets you know as it caresses you through the cool that the day will be scorching later on And also there are creamsicles. But in a good way. Lighter than 5:40 pm in Madagascar, but still warm and enveloping. Easy going. Vacation in a bottle. Another comfort scent of mine.

To be in Bali right now and wake up to fresh fruit, followed by warm, milky, jasmine infused rice pudding for breakfast... Really, it's that simple, but good. I'm reminded very much of Lavanila Laboratories Grapefruit Vanilla--lush but sparkling at the same time with a good quality base.
