Kenzo Homme
Kenzo Homme by Kenzo is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 1991 in the designer price tier. It opens with marine accord, bergamot and mandarin, moves into cypress, black pepper and nutmeg and dries down to sandalwood, cedarwood and musk. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
