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.

This was the first fragrance that I ever bought for myself, around 4 years ago. It's a very nice scent and it makes me kinda sad to see that it's discontinued :( The opening is minty, sweet and fresh. After just a few minutes the sweetness fades away and the freshness remains with a clear marine/aquatic vibe, but with a strong woody background. Eventually it becomes a nice woody/incense/sandalwood intimate scent. Longevity is good and projection is moderate, but definitely ok for summer/spring and even fall. The woody base notes together with the aromatic freshness make it for a very masculine scent, most girls that have smelled this almost instantly described it as "smells like a man".

Aromatic lightly sweet opening that reminds me of a fresh mint-citrus caipirinha at the Copacabana. Great beach or summer freshie with a smooth vetiver-woody base. I do like the balance of the scent, just wish the Marine/Sea Notes would be a bit more prominent. Longevity is good with moderate sillage/projection. Also quite versatile from casual outdoors to casual Friday at the office. Overall a pleasant and enjoyable fragrance.

It is a really pleasant and easy-going fragrance. It smells really good in the air than directly on my skin. Good longevity. Project well for the first few hours. Very nice, the price also affordable the same as other Kenzo fragrances. The bottle also looks good. Rating 7.75/10(has zero similarity to EDT, maybe misleading people that think this is EDP version of the original) Avoid if you don't like Blue sweet fragrance.

Guys, guys, relax! All I see in comment section is most of you being worried how it smells, because someone elses opinion. Just try it... It maybe has some similarities with Invictus, but that's just this aquatic feel. Buy hey - it is meant to be that way, it's for HOT days. To me, it is extremely pleasing. Actually, number 1 on my summer wish list. Just try it! 9/10

Becomes a skin scent past 8+ hours but it projects more then half way through. 12 hours in you can still smell it, This Is a Semi Spicy, Semi Sweet, Bright See Through Blue Ocean Close To The Forrest Aquatic. Great Imagery For The Price Range And Smells Different From Most Aquatics, Alittle Bit Powdery So The Scent Could Very On Person To Person.

This one gets so much hate, and I learned to not taking negative reviews so seriously. This perfumes hits 👌🏻, its masculine fresh and a little sweet at the same time, and whoever says that this smells like a "dead fish" is big time capping 🧢. Cause you can smell the citrus, the spices and the watery notes

I actually really liked this one, i had already made up my mind not to try this as i hated the original, but i got a sample with a purchase so of course i had to try it, as stated by another reviewer this is an updated version of the old one that is more suitable for 2017 and i have to agree on that one.

This is one of the few fragrances that have gotten me compliments in the office. I spray one on my neck, bare chest, on top of my undershirt, and then another on my wrist, and it lasts the whole work day for me. I can still smell it on me when I change out of my work clothes. It is worth picking up!

Its sad that this has bad ratings and is called a clone when it came out before invictus aqua,I'm really starting to dislike this site based on the hate towards really good fragrances,im just tired of everything so called smelling similar to invictus aqua and dior sauvage getting trashed.......peace

One of my top favorite summer parfum colognes. I live in Texas and man does it get hot down here. Wearing this cologne and on these hot days is just a great combination. You can’t go wrong with it! Smells great, great longevity, great sillage and very affordable. Do yourself a favor and buy it!

Foi meu perfume assinatura por muito tempo! Abre com notas herbais de menta, corpo se destaca o bambu e maresia, rastro de bambu. Uma pena que tiraram de linha. Na minha pele deu uma projeção moderada e uma fixação de mais de 6 horas.

Tested this yesterday around 04:00 pm. Opens very Fresh with the Lime and Lemon. Today 01:00 pm still going strong. Clean Woody and a bit sweetness in the drydown. This is longlasting freshness!

Best from Homme family, smell, uniquesness, longevity

I've been trying out my sample again and it's only just hit me of another scent this reminds me of :Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren! Of course it's not the exact same but with that minty citrus, especially in the opening it shares some similarities. I currently don't own Polo Sport but have an incredibly similar fragrance: Magnetic Power Navy Blue by Jeanne Arthes, and Kenzo Homme Parfum definitely shares some olfactory goodies with that one too. Having spent some time with this one I think it's a little different from Invictus (+Aqua), Legend Spirit et al. Although sharing some facets with those this EDP has it's own thing going yet IMO it also looks back to Polo Sport as a big inspiration. It could have been marketed as a new sport flanker or given another name (perhaps 'Wave' or even 'spirit' or something like that) to avoid confusion and negative comments from people expecting an EDP version of the original Kenzo Pour Homme, as yes they are quite different. A good scent, definitely worth trying for a modern minty-citrus sporty fragrance. For me it's not a love (yet?) but I do like it and might buy it one day if I see a good deal but really my Polo Sport clone mentioned above does the job for now.

I bought this fragrance expecting it to be an EDP version of the vintage and well-known Kenzo Pour Homme. I was let down in this regard, as it is an entirely different fragrance. This has caused alot of people to harshly judge this fragrance. However, despite everything, its not a bad fragrance, in fact it's quite good. Kenzo Homme EDP has a very soapy opening scent that is followed by a minty, citrus, aquatic scent with minor spicy notes. It has been compared to Invictus by Paco Rabanne which Kenzo Homme EDP does share some in common with, but both are different fragrances. This fragrance for the price has a good scent for the forumulation and lasts a VERY long time with moderate projection. For $45 it's worth checking out, and is a good casual fragrance. *Update*: After wearing this fragrance for several days, I can say with great certainty that it is indeed a strong fragrance, that has resulted in many compliments and questions about what I am wearing/where to buy it. I admit I was skeptical about this fragrance at first given the negative reviews, but it is indeed a solid fragrance that is sure to impress.
