Kenzo Power Cologne is a Cologne launched in 2009, created by Olivier Polge. Power Cologne opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Geranium, Pepper, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Tolu Balsam. Kenzo's Power Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Kenzo Power Cologne is a surprisingly divisive scent that some hail as a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as smelling like body odour. It’s a clean yet spicy floral-aromatic that, despite its name, performs admirably for a cologne.

About

Opening with a zesty, green burst of lemon verbena and bergamot, Kenzo Power Cologne quickly introduces the warmth of cardamom and spicy black pepper. Geranium adds a gentle floral touch, leading to a powdery, warm base of tolu balsam, vetiver, and cedar. It's a sophisticated interplay of fresh and spicy, with an underlying woody-amber depth.
