Kenzo Amour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Olivier Cresp and Daphné Bugey. Amour opens with Rice and Tea, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Heliotrope, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Incense, and Thanaka Wood. Kenzo's Amour carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Kenzo Amour is the ultimate cosy hug in a bottle, perfect for those who crave warmth and comfort. It's a beloved classic for a reason, despite some chatter about its longevity and an unexpected 'Play-Doh' nuance from a vocal minority.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:

Given its intimate sillage and comforting nature, Amour is perfectly suited for casual wear and dates where closeness is key. Its softness makes it acceptable for office wear, but its lack of strong projection makes it generally unsuitable for formal events or sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Amour opens with a soft whisper of white tea and creamy basmati rice, quickly blossoming into a lush, powdery floral heart of frangipani, cherry blossom, and heliotrope. The base settles into a comforting, subtly musky vanilla laced with a hint of smoky incense and the unique, woody depth of Thanaka wood. It’s a lactonic vanilla dream that feels both delicate and enveloping.
