Kenzo Kenzo World is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Kenzo World opens with Red Fruits, settles into a heart of Floral, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan. Kenzo's Kenzo World carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Kenzo World is famously divisive, splitting opinion squarely down the middle. For some, it's a vibrant, juicy, fresh floral; for others, a synthetic, cloying, even nauseating mess. Definitely try before you buy, as this one is not a safe blind purchase.

About

Kenzo World opens with a bold, almost candied blast of red fruits, like a fizzy berry confection. This initial sweetness quickly folds into a floral heart dominated by powdery peony and rich jasmine, adding a touch of soft elegance. The base introduces a creamy, slightly salty ambroxan, which grounds the fruit and florals, giving the scent its distinctive warm, musky, and often polarising character. It's a journey from sweet and bright to a deeper, more abstract dry-down.
