Kenzo Time for Peace is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Annick Menardo. Time for Peace opens with Mandarin and Sage, settles into a heart of Chestnut and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Amber, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Kenzo's Time for Peace carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, this 90s throwback is either a forgotten gem or a perfectly missable relic. It walks a line between fresh and sweet, leaving some craving more and others completely bored.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Opening with a bright, herbal burst of mandarin and sage, this scent quickly transitions into a more comforting heart. Here, the unique accord of chestnut mingles with the warm, vanilla-like sweetness of tonka bean, giving it a cosy, slightly nutty character. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, rich Virginia cedarwood, and a smooth amber-vanilla base, offering a refined and lasting finish.
