Kenzo Kenzo Homme Sport is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by François Demachy. Kenzo Homme Sport opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mint, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Geranium, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. Kenzo's Kenzo Homme Sport carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Kenzo Homme Sport is a divisive 'sport' fragrance, praised by some for its refreshing mint and ginger combo, but dismissed by others as generic or even unpleasant, with a particular sting to its staying power. Try before you buy.

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.

Its fresh, energetic, and clean profile makes it ideal for sport and casual daytime wear, as many reviews suggest it's 'very refreshing' and great for 'hot days'. However, its limited longevity and projection, coupled with some finding it too 'sporty', make it less suitable for formal or intimate settings.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

An energising burst of zesty grapefruit and sharp lemon leads the charge, swiftly cooled by an invigorating wave of fresh mint. The heart introduces a spicy kick of ginger and geranium, adding a warm, aromatic depth that prevents it from being just another citrus. Finally, a clean, earthy blend of vetiver and cedar grounds the scent, providing a subtle woody finish that keeps things fresh and decidedly masculine.
