Our verdict on Power: Favourite

Kenzo Power is a divisive beast: some hail its unique floral masculinity, while others recoil from its sweetness and perceived femininity. You'll either love this powdery floral standout or reach for the air freshener.

About

Opening with a fizzy spritz of bergamot and a sharp kick of cardamom and coriander, Kenzo Power quickly blossoms into a soft, powdery floral heart. The drydown settles into a balsamic warmth, with labdanum, cedar, and tolu balsam weaving a sweet, resinous tapestry. It's a journey from bright spice to a smooth, amber-kissed floral embrace.
