Kenzo Homme Night

WEATHER / SEASON : all-year around (just go easy on the sprayer during warmer days) TIME / : night and day WHICH MAN ? : Mainly youngsters (teenagers + young adults). I'd develop that part below... SCENT / FEEL : 16/20. I know many male 'fragranticians" are bored with the current trend of fruity scents. But if you want TROPICAL fruity scent, not the usual citrus/red fruits/apple, etc. this is a fair candidate. Not groundbreaking (I do get the sun tan lotion comparison) BUT well made. I got mainly mango (top and middle) and tonka beans (drydown).. AND some coconut-y smell, all throughout, which is strange because it's not listed ! Must be the result of woods and spices being mix with mango? i don't know, but I know I love it. It's not a linear scent at all, it does evolve. You go mango > coconut (?) > tonka and spices. It's quite well blended in my opinion, it evolves quite naturally, and the drydown is creamy with the tropical vibe remaining. LONGEVITY : 8/10 - Very good longevity as usual with kenzo. I get a 8h+ from this one, and I love the fact that the top notes (mainly mango and that coconut-y smell) linger on for a fairly long time as main notes (~2h) and you still can detect them in the drydown. It even lasts longer on clothes. PROJECTION / SILLAGE : 7/10 . Quite powerful for the first hour, then becomes a skin scent, but with fair projection (I'd say 1-foot projection for ~4h) and the sillage is rather weak. Which is weird, because, if oversprayed, it goes on the cloying side. OVERALL : 15,50 /20 NOTES / ADD INFO : Many were disappointed with this one because of the deja-vu "teenage" smell it has. I do understand the disappointment. It seems Kenzo tried to go mainstream with this one, they wanted their Le male or 1-Million it's quite a letdown compared to the other Kenzo offerings if you expect the Kenzo "originality" when it comes to their fragrances. I guess they need more money and wanted to launch something more accessible, likeable by the majority (I do like Kenzo pour Homme, but I detect a slight nail polish remover in it that kept me from buying it). BUT this one wins as a candidate regarding TROPICAL scents available to men... When requesting a tropical scent for men its always the same 4/5 bottles : Virgin Island Water, l'Artisan Timbuktu, Tommy Bahama St Barts Sail, Jennifer Lopez Deseo... You know what? I prefer this ONE over those others. Looks like the only 'tropical' note available to men is coconut, this one at least has mango, which is a rather rare and interesting note. And It does the job very well as a tropical. Nice to wear for all seasons as well, just make sure to use it sparingly during summer (though not sure a more mature man, says, in his 50 would pull it off. Maybe still too fruity to some)

★★★★ It definitely took me some time to appreciate Kenzo Homme Night. For me, it was always one spray on a paper strip without focusing on the scent, basically thinking about the original Kenzo Pour Homme as a far superior fragrance. I have tried Virgin Island Water by Creed, Diptyque Philosykos, Heeley's Coccobello and South Water by Lili Bermuda while I was looking for a tropical fragrance. All of those fragrances smell wonderful (with a preference to Coccobello) but I always felt they are too unisex and suitable for daytime. I decided to try Kenzo Homme Night in the end, but actually give it a full wearing, and I did the same with Davidoff Cool Water Night, only because I wanted to use a tropical fragrance only for night time and specifically for clubbing. Kenzo Homme Night on my skin opens with a wonderful lush mango note that is uplifting and energetic, almost sporty I dare to say, but without making it a sport fragrance. I guess it feels sporty due to the coriander and grapefruit combo as top notes. After a few minutes, the magic happens. It turns really woody and even smoky, I can't smell the vetiver but I can definitely smell the guaiac wood and tonka bean that gives the composition the depth it needs for being a masculine night fragrance. What's fantastic about it is that the mango is always there, even when the base notes start to dominate and turn it slightly dirty and deep. Some people say it smells of coconut but don't be fooled, it's just when the tonka bean kicks in correlation with the mango. The tropical character stays there for the fragrance's whole lifespan, which is a total of 9 hours or more with great projection for at least the first 4 hours. In my book, that's success in today's standards when everything fleets in the first hour (yes, I'm looking at you Creed) Is it original? Well, tropical fragrances smell similar most of the time, but I have never encountered the depth of Kenzo Homme Night in any other tropical fragrance, and that is why I give it a gold medal as the ultimate masculine tropical fragrance. The longevity, the projection and the good price beats it all, a fragrance that's aloof, lazy in a summer way but utterly seductive and masculine. Wear it with sexy flip flops or total white trainers, your summer t-shirt and aloof shorts and you are that guy in the club that people sniff secretely, the guy that is hard to resist. Thank you Kenzo, please wake up and go back to your creativity because -in the masculine spectrum- it has already been a while since Kenzo Pour Homme, Kenzo Air and Kenzo Homme Night. I'm out, the summer night is calling...

Kenzo Homme Night is an original take on coconut for men that is never too beachy or excessively summery.It smells fairly sweet though quite well-balanced as well, ends up being very long-lasting with satisfactory sillage, and remains quite unfairly off the radar. At the same time it stays healthily distant from other Kenzo pour Homme offerings, and more than a flanker should be a perfume on its own merit. I am a bit biased here because I like Kenzo Homme Night quite a lot. I wear it sometimes in the spring, at daytime, and fits many different occasions without being inappropriate. If you are looking for something "coconutty" that does not remind you of women's coconut perfumes, I believe this fits the bill. Apart from that, I can smell a little bit of pepper probably, and a fleeting undertone of mango,oh wait, or is it fig? Be careful if you like your coconut to smell fresh, like with Virgin Island Water or "cocktail-smelling" like with Tommy Bahama Set Sail St Barts or Calvin Klein One Summer 2014. Those lean towards a fresher interpretation of notes, in my opinion. The Kenzo is more like raw coconut flesh, for better or worse. In a way, KPH could be a distant, masculine cousin of Bronze Goddess (by Estée Lauder) maybe. I would give it a 9/10, but you must like coconut (conspicuous by its absence in the notes description) to enjoy it.

It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. I really like it though! It’s very much a ‘fun’ (or easygoing) fragrance - I’d say you either enjoy sweet tropical/holiday fragrances or you don’t, I guess. All I can really pick out from it is sweet coconut. It’s just really pleasant, not remotely ‘serious’ at all. It doesn’t smell in anyway the same but something about the linear sweet (and synthetic) scent made me think of Black XS Potion. Not a criticism. I had to check the box to see if Kenzo Night was an EDP, it isn’t, it’s just that it seems really long lasting but isn’t loud. I’m having a blast with exploring Kenzo, after KPH eventually really grew on me after initial indifference and putting aside. Now I have discovered Tokyo, which is truly outstanding and a personal favourite now. Got Kenzo Aqua Kenzo on the way too.

Tried and bought it today as I fell in love with the mango accord which makes this new perfume unique for sure. It has a remarkable, tropical soul. "Kenzo homme night" is linear and the main note is a coconutish mango accord surrounded by some splashes of sour grapefruit, mild spices and soft vetiver under a sweet note of tonka. It has a great potential to be an interesting spring/summer perfume suitable for middle age gentleman. It has a nice, long lasting but moderate sillage. To my nose is more tropical and fruity than seductive and intriging. A great, fun fragrance for fruity coconut, tropical perfume lovers.

This is really under the radar and actually a really good summer scent. No similarities whatsoever to the original, this not an aquatic but a sweet and spicy scent. It gives off a very tropical vibe, and somehow reminds me of Abercrombie and Fitch First Instinct. This is a really decent performer, the projection is pretty good even after a few hours and longevity is a good 8h +. You can get that discounted and for the price, this is a really good fragrance to have for summer nights or a beach vacation.

Coconut...and coconut...and mango! It is a bit similar with Joop Homme Wild but without the rum. I was surprised when i got back home and checked the notes pyramid. What? No Coconut? Anyway,I really love this one, because i love the smell of coconut. I'm not a big fan of Kenzo (i only like Jungle), but this one si very nice. Too bad it's not that strong, on my skin i got 6 hours longevity and a moderate projection for the first hour, then close to skin.

bomb of a scent, this house deserves so much more love, original kenzo homme/pour homme is beast...but thats fresh salty green acquatic, this is mango coconut and tonka blast, its called night but can be used all year round day and night, beast mode performer.recently I sniffed Le Beau by Jean Paul Gaultier...almost identical at half the price...its an easy buy :) 9/10 if you like tropical sweet fragrances

for me this is a great summer fragrance..kind of reminds me of coconut sunscreen lotion but with a touch of fruitiness to add sweetness. I feel as though the geranium mixed with the touch of spices and mango & tonka bean give it the coconut smell which i like. well blended i think and long lasting. Yes its similar to OTB wild. 9/10 for this sort of scent.

The smell is stunning, I smell the coconut, although in my vision it's not sweet, but neutral as if coconut was just split. Apparently, the mango with something else gives such a perception. As for me, an unusual flavor, and I like so much that the sweetness is not very sugary.

Only tested at the counter, but a pleasant surprise. Aromatic mango mixed with coconut-like smooth benzoin, tonka and fresh spices... seemed to have decent longevity.. i like it:)

To my nose this smells like a mix of the best attributes from Obsession Night for Men by Calvin Klein + Only The Brave Wild Diesel for men with a nice Tonka bean final note/dry down. I've only smelt Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier for men but I can see how it must share some similarities with Le Beau Jean Paul Gaultier for men which many compare it to. Kenzo Night has some very interesting middle notes, it's not dross. I find the sillage becomes pretty close to the skin after an hour or so and likewise long lasting but just a skin scent. I wouldn't categorise this as the beast the ratings make it out to be, but that may just be olfactory fatigue on my nose's part. It's definitely a very sexy fragrance but I'm still on the fence whether it's something I would wear too often, maybe I just need to get out more :D

Kenzo Night is a tropical candy, a mix of woody, fruity, spicy and sweet notes, playful, elegant and powerful. It is a superb choise and sexy 100% mens scent. It opens with an explosion of sweet coconut but after a while it becomes a little bit powdery, spicy an a note of sour mango appears. The longevity is about 6 hours and the sillage is really heavy. The most distinguished notes are coconut, mango, grapefruit, cardamon, coriander and tonka bean. It is a warm weather scent but I do not reccomend it for the very warm summer days. It is perfect for summer evenings, spring and warm autumn days. Kenzo Night is the best I’ve ever smelt from this company. It reminds me summer, beaches, linen suits, cool sunsets at the summer sea and cool summer evenings, unique and sensual!

Not my cup of tea but not terribly unplaisant, this is a perfume I can wear if it was gifted to me. Kenzo Homme Night is sweet and fruity heavy on mango and tonka. It does remind me of OTB wild but I have to say that I find it as the winter version of wild as it is thicker, heavier and warmer. People say that it's a summer fragrance but I have to disagree. It's not bad in summer but to me it's more suited to be worn in fall, winter and early spring. That is how I find it. All in all, you just can't shake the mainstream feel of this fragrance off. But for what it is, it's affordable and wearable and crowd and office friendly. 6.5/10

Wow, this is great! An opening blast of smooth mango and creamy tonka, the latter of which lasts throughout the fragrance's [pretty impressive; I get 8-10 hours] lifetime. It's not a cloying sweetness, either, as there are some woody notes in the base which balance things out nicely and keep this from being just another ambroxan/"bubblegum" type fragrance. If you want something a little sweet but not THAT sweet, I would highly recommend Kenzo Night. This was a pleasant surprise for me.

This one is available in all stores in Barcelona, Spain. I tested in a Sephora store and I don't know what to think of it. The first spray opened up like a peppermint bublegum like Trident. It fresh allroght but I don't think it is such big of a deal. I prefer Tokyo all more than this one. But I am a little suspicious, so try it, I never discorage anyone to try fragrances.

I do like this fragrance it's like a sweet coconut fragrance. When I smelled this for the first time It brought me back to middle school because it smells like a higher quality version of my main fragrance from that time, AXE Excite bodyspray. I even recently went out and bought AXE Excite showergel to see if I was right or not and I was right it's almost identical.

I like the opening is like woah! fruit! sweet! but not a honeyish thing... is fresh, I just tried it on the counter on a paper (Yes... ¬¬) I will look to try it on my skin to see how the other notes start to show but Deff a very nice and fresh fragrance it surprised me because you wouldn't expect this scent from a bottle labeled -Night-

tested last week!!!!grapefruit!!!!!!ananas!!many many fruity!! sensation of sintetic!! good for spring and summer.very sweet.medium longevity and sillage. different of normal citrus summer smell. good.5/10

It's playful and strong. Dry minty opening that evolves to a tropical mango aroma with a hint of coconut. Amazing woody dry down. Fruity, spicy and sweet. Sensual, unique ... a fantastic scent!
