Once Upon a Time pour Homme

Ohhhh I forgot about this one...Is it still in production ? I doubt...This was a very spontaneous buy for me during a travel, and I was so satisfied - i remember it being very warm and spicy, just like mentioned in a previous review, pencil shavings vibe. I loved it a lot. Too bad that I didn't know its worth, now thinking it was such a treasure. It's the woody fragrance that is not dry but spiced up. UPDATE: FOUND A BOTTLE UNEXPECTEDLY IN A LOCAL PERFUME STORE! Such a lucky incident, and it smells exactly like I remember, it's a nutmeg spice masterpiece. I shall give an updated review after catching up for a few days.

good for 'winter and autumn days and nights', 'summer and spring nights'. its not heavy but strong, so no need to sprey it too much.

Delicious. For me the best Kenzo. It is not as smooth as others.

I read that this was also marketed as "Kenzo Signature". Can anyone confirm? Kenzo Signature does not appear in the Fragrantica database. I tried a sample of Signature and it seems to match the notes listed above - nutmeg, vetiver, and ginger. Opens strong and if I based my rating only on that I would have given it a thumbs down. Once it mellows, it's nice but there's no 'wow' factor. Inoffensive and good for year round wear at the office. I'm a bigger fan of the original Kenzo Pour Homme.

Smells like I'm in a strange, dense forest the likes of which I've never been to, and it has just finished heavily raining. But it's not a soft, fresh woody smell, I think I've fallen face down into a plant I'm a bit scared of. It's not a fresh scent, it's thick, but not heavy, a kid of pungent greenness to it that's still pretty nice. Definitely an autumn smell. Avoid this one in summer. I really don't know if I like this one.
