Scent Profile

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Tokyo by Kenzo opens with an invigorating blast of zesty grapefruit and lemon, sharply contrasted by fiery ginger. This vibrant start quickly mellows into a heart of aromatic green tea, a hint of bitter orange, and the subtle warmth of pink pepper. The dry down settles into a sophisticated woody embrace of guaiac wood and cedar, spiced gently with nutmeg and clove, evoking a modern, urban night.
