Kenzo Kenzo pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1991, created by Christian Mathieu. Kenzo pour Homme opens with Sea Water, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mahogany, settles into a heart of Caraway, Pine, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Kenzo's Kenzo pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Kenzo Pour Homme is a divisive beast. It's either an aquatic masterpiece or a synthetic scrubber, but one thing's for sure: it's truly unique. Wear it and some will swoon, others will say you smell like old plastic. Never boring.

About

Imagine a tempestuous sea crashing against a dense pine forest, then distil that aroma into a bottle. Kenzo Pour Homme opens with a bracing, abstract marine rush, quickly meeting an aromatic, fresh-spicy heart of juniper and nutmeg. This evolves into a deep, woody base of mahogany, fir resin, and vetiver, anchored by earthy oakmoss and soft musk. It's a complex dance of oceanic freshness and profound forest depth, with a surprising powdery touch in the drydown that softens its rugged edges.
