Power Cologne

Never really understood why this one, as well as the original version, didn't get the recognition they deserve. They are simply amazing! Kenzo (flower) Power Cologne - yes, there is a tiny flower drawing included in the name actually - is a bit lighter and slightly more citrusy and powdery version of the original. Released in 2009, Oliver Polge did some fine tuning to the original Kenzo (flower) Power in order to compose this cologne version - the original was a bit of flowery tuning to the Dior Homme, I can clearly detect the Dior Homme base into both the original and the cologne. Cologne opens with a bit of bergamot and verbena which they fade away quite soon in order to leave you with a slightly iris/floral a-la-Dior-Homme base. The funny thing is that even though it is a cologne, the longevity is in par with any eau de toilette of nowadays (I could even mention eau de parfum), its lasting power is beyond 6 hours and it radiates within arm length if not more. Not sure if this one is still in production, the original version was being produced till 2013, it disappeared for some years and it returned back circa 2017 with a slight reformulation which harmed a bit its flowery character and its longevity. Cologne is absence from the official Kenzo site but you still can find a few bottles available to some online retailers. As I constantly say this could be a Dior Homme flanker. So happy to have this one and the original in my collection. A must try - solid love from me.

The original Kenzo Power released in 2008 was intended as a male fragrance that impressed some and turned off others. I personally was in the camp that found it too sweet and feminine for a male fragrance. This flanker released in 2009 is a sophisticated masculine scent with floral, citrus, and fresh spicy notes that in my opinion is what the original should've been. Despite being a cologne its longevity and projection are comparable to an EDT, which after about 3-4 hours becomes a skin scent. To my chagrin this scent has been discontinued, but can still be found fairly commonly on the internet for sale. Overall this fragrance is my new favourite signature scent.

I had a bottle. The best fragrance I had. The scent tells a full story of beauty and power, it opens with a lovely bergamot, evolves to peppery and rises up to a sour, woody, amazing smell. I had a 2009 bottle which had great performance. Scent: 9 Longetivity: 8 (6 hrs) Sillage: 8 Overall: A solid 9

I love it. It is one of masterpieces. It is so different from other men fragrances which I know. I love citrusy/cedar/vetiver/balmy notes but I also could smell cardamom, geranium, lavender, pepper and coriander as well. I could name this fragrance as very spicy in a good, balmy, powdery way.

Ilove this cologne .it has clean floral and mainly powdery notes. It's refreshing clean scent . At first could detect cardamom flowery note which sweet powdery vibes give it a warm depth and made it semi-fresh fragrance which means not for hot weather af summer nor coldness of winter.
