L'Eau par Kenzo Mirror Edition pour Homme

Good luck finding this these days. If you’re reading this, it’s either out of interest for past LKPH flankers or because of Antoine Lie. It’s interesting how this fragrance maintains the essence of LKPH while highlighting Lie’s influence. It’s hard to describe, but this is a nice addition to the collection, contrasting with Cresp’s work. While this is very pleasant and wearable, and I don’t think anyone but a Lie fan would call it artistic or edgy, there’s that subtle but balanced discordance—a kind of internal edginess that still stays smooth around the edges, more like an orchestra than a smooth harmony—that I recognize in a lot of Lie’s work. The green and herbal notes give this flanker a particularly masculine profile, as opposed to some other LKPH flankers. The more I wear it, the more I really like it and feel like I’m wearing a Lie fragrance more than a Kenzo. The note breakdown and other reviews pretty much describe it accurately, as long as you take it in the context of LKPH.

I got this as a birthday gift when I was 18 and it was the first fragrance I ever finished. I tried so bad to get another bottle but it's hard to find. It's a very fresh but not overwhelming fragrance to wear during the day. It doesn't last a lot (I'd say 4 hours, then it fades rather quick) and projection is not the best, but I'm gonna try to find another bottle anyways as the smell is just so good. It's a better quality fragrance than the regular "Léau par Kenzo pour Homme" that has an even worse duration. In case you have some doubts as I did trying to purchase it again, it's NOT the same fragrance with a different looking bottle.

A very singular fresh and woody. A little similar but better than his brother L'Eau Par Kenzo Colors. A bright clear and refreshing opening, after drying down in a light aromatic woody. In my skin 3 or 4 hour of longevity. Casual but nothing common. Do you want to make a very good impression? Wear it.

Smells very fresh.nice job kenzo, i just love lemons and vodka with a woody backdrop. This scent will definetly get u compliments.girls love it!!! Lasts about 5 hours with 4 sprays. Lovely juice 9/10

For years I've had a lot of restriction with Kenzo perfumes, as I tell on my review of Kenzo Homme. Fortunately, the fragrances of this House are increasingly conquering me. L'Eau Par Kenzo Mirror Edition pour Homme is a limited edition that hit the market in February 2014, along with the female version. The concept involves the freshness of the water and the reflection of its surface. At the top of the composition, notes of vodka, basil and grapefruit, followed by aquatic notes, plus Sage and Juniper, in the body of the fragrance. And in the base, notes of musk and vetiver. It is possible to find several classifications on this scent, ranging from the woody-aquatic to the aromatic and ending with the fruity. Personally, I don't feel it as a woody scent. On my skin, it behaves more like an aromatic-aquatic, which moves inside the fruity universe. It is worth saying that Kenzo always manages to maintain a very nice olfactory standard with regard to the L'Eau Par Kenzo line, with its refreshing aspect and just a slight variation in the DNA. This time, I confess I didn't was expecting much. However, I was surprised again. The vodka nuance is wonderful and lasts for about two hours, giving a good alcoholic accord to the evolution. I know other scents with hints of vodka, whose accord is less elaborated and goes away faster. L'Eau Par Kenzo Mirror Edition pour Homme is a refreshing, burnt, alcoholic and strongly aromatic cologne, with fruity nuances (that permeate throughout the evolution), which only loses strength after about four hours on the skin when becomes much more discreet and smooth. Here is my only criticism. On my skin, the vetiver was very discreet and it seems that the evolution stopped before reaching the base of the olfactory pyramid. Still, I loved the result and the proposal of this creation. The bottle kept the visual identity of the line, with waves that remind of the water movement and a metallic background, which acts as a mirror, reinforcing the proposal and the name. If I'm not mistaken, it was only made in 50ml size. For those who like fragrances of this kind, here is one more that worth knowing.

This cologne is just awesome. Unlike the summer/fresh/aquatic ones we see on the market nowadays. This one follows kind of same line of the original, it's more masculine indeed, maybe because of the Vodka, Musk and Vetiver notes. It's a win and it should be an unlimited edition. I would totally dare to say that it's a blind buy if you don't have any store to go to and smell it. It's very versatile as well. I love it!

A fresh and uplifting fragrance. A bit more mature than the original. I think you could wear this all year round. I own many aquatics and this is not special in any way but i think the vodka note makes a difference.
