Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum

I made an acc. here just to give review on this perfume as it is so wroongly given so low mark !! - This is one of the best ''day'' perfumes i've ever put on myself ! - Scent is pretty unique and not so simmiliar to any other perfume unlike most perfumes which you can define simmiliarity to some other pefume as soon as you try it on. (It's indeed most simmiliar to Paco Rabbane line of perfumes... It's NOT simmiliar to Davidoff-Cool water in any way!) (i'm using Paco Rabbane from time to time and i've tried Davidoff-Cool water once and it's nowhere near Kenzo-pour Homme greatness, actually, Kenzo (to me) is better then any of the Paco Rabbane scent and it's light years ahead of Davidoff - Scent is not intense and heavy yet who ever is standing close to you or passing by near you will definitely smell it! - Since it's not so prominent and strong/heavy smelling, i don't think many men above 35-40y will put it on themself - That being said, first time i tried it, i couldn't stop smelling by hands through entire drink with my girlfriend. She was also very fond of it and she commented how to her it's better then the one i wear in that period (Carolina Herrera - Vip 212 black) as she generally doesn't like heavy perfumes. Few hours later we went with my friend and his girlfriend on drink and as soon as we sat down the table my friends girlfriend noticed the smell and she liked it very much! Beside my girlfriend and my friends girlfriend, in less then a year since i first tried/bought it, i was asked a dozen times about it from other people i know and few times from girls passing by which i didn't know. Shortly; girls love it! (Very) important thing you should know; *EDT & cologne version doesn't smell near the same as EDP!!* Notes of the scent are significantly different (worse) and that is probably reason why this perfume is *extremely* undervalued on this site. Just for the record, since i started wearing perfumes and generally enjoying fragrances, i have/had and been using; Christina Herrera - Vip 212 (black and white) & Bad Boy, Paco Rabanne (almost all of them), Christian Dior - Sauvage, Channel (bleu & allure), Blvgari (few from the line), Diesel - Only for the Brave, Versace - Eros & Pour Homme, Givenchy - Gentlemen, Yves Saint Laurent (almost all of them), Armani - Aqua di Gio, among others perfumes.. (edt/colognes/deodorants as well) and Kenzo - Pour homme eau de Parfum is in my top 3 of all scents i've ever put on myself! Enough said.. 9/10

I got Kenzo pour homme EDT version a long time ago, I loved it back then to a point that I missed wearing, but the sad part was that I couldn't find Kenzo EDT anywhere, until I've found Kenzo pour homme EDP. Now, the EDP version is somewhat, matured and ocean/aquatic scented and it doesn't remind me much of the EDT version at all. I made a review for Invictus Legend a while back, and I said that it reminded me of it, but without the bubblegum vibe. This is the fragrance for beach/ocean side lovers out there, who likes to enjoy themselves or accompanied with their loved ones in a coffeeshop at the shore. You can also wear it in the office, just like the EDT version, it will pull compliments and won't offend anyone noses (Bosses specially). Though I got to say it! Kenzo pour Homme EDP performance works, pretty darn good, in hot summer days, for some reason, 9 hours plus change on skin. As for spring season, let's say mild temperature, the performance fades after 5 maybe 6 hours tops. Overall, In my opinion, it's a pretty bottle (better looking than the simple foggy navy blue bottle) it's an affordable perfume and easy to wear, wether is casual or for dating, and I recommend it for those who are aquatic fragrace lovers

This is the best Invictus type smell. It doesnt have that Invictus sweetness nor does it have the zestyness of Invictus Aqua. It does have citruses but they are smooth, not sharp. It does have sweetness but it is tamed with uplifting and fresh mint. You get more aquatic woody sandalwood feel in the drydown. To me, this is what Invictus should have smelled like. Not to mention, it lasts and because its silky smooth, it doest get cloyng yet it pulls compliments and that mint and soft citruses make all the difference whem its extreme heat summer. Sadly, I dont see it anymore. The whole line seems to have been discontinued and replaced with the new bamboo bottle type which have little in common with these releases and are watered down heavily. New bamboo EDT smels like the OG from the 90s but it lasts for shit. EDT Intense starts like Kenzo Night but that goes away in 20 mons and you get a different watered down smell. The new Kenzo Parfum... has nothing to do with this one.

Bought this just yesterday in Tehran's MotherPerfumes for about 75$, which is a pretty modest price for a good, reputable brand here in Iran. I tested like 25 different perfumes in a span of 2 hours, 45 minutes to make sure about the sillage and longevity. This was the only one among the latest I could choose and I am happy with my purchase. The top notes are the same as mentioned here. The same is with the midnotes. But the end note has no trace of vanilla or vetyver IMO. It's more of a mixture of cedarwood and musk. The sillage is very good and the longevity excellent. Highly recommended for those who seek to give an impression of appeal and freshness at the same time. IMO, it can be used even in autumn.

Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum it is a summer scent. Many people here say that is similar to Invictus. Strange but I've never had Invictus. Instead for that I have Hawas from Rasasi. So, there are many similarities between these two perfumes. Hawas is a marine scent but in a brut way. Kenzo is a really sweet vanilla - coconut scent with marine notes. Their similarity is about 90% indeed. Personally I don't know which one to wear because both are very very good and become almost the same after 1 hour. At the end let's say that Kenzo is better for exotic places (sweet vanilla - coconut) during summertime while Hawas can be a city summertime perfume. Kenzo is one of my favourite summertime perfume.
