Kenzo Kenzo Homme Boisee is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Olivier Polge. Kenzo Homme Boisee opens with Basil and Mint, settles into a heart of Pepper and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. Kenzo's Kenzo Homme Boisee carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A tragically discontinued gem, this is a fresh, green-leaning vetiver that offers cool versatility. It's unique without being polarising, managing to be both invigorating and relaxing, though some find its performance a bit shy.

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.

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

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Opens with an enlivening burst of crisp mint and herbaceous basil, quickly followed by the sharp, earthy spice of pepper and woody rosemary. The dry down settles into a clean, smooth vetiver, underscored by dry cedar, giving it a natural, subtly masculine woody aromatic character without being overwhelmingly earthy or heavy.
