Kenzo Totem Orange is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Olivier Pescheux and Natalie Gracia-Cetto. Totem Orange opens with Lemon and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Fig Tree, Lemon Blossom, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Kenzo's Totem Orange carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A truly divisive citrus. This youthful, energetic scent swings from a tangy orange-vetiver delight to a synthetic sour experience depending on who's wearing it. It is what it is: a fun, slightly weird, throwback burst of summer in a bottle.

Its fresh, energetic citrus and moderate longevity make it a great choice for casual wear and even sport. While it's generally too playful for formal settings, its invigorating nature can work for some office environments, though it might be a bit too 'come-hither' for a date night, as some find it quite masculine.

About

Totem Orange slaps you with a punchy, zesty opening of bitter orange and sharp lemon, quickly joined by the creamy, subtly sweet succulence of peach and fig. The heart mellows into a soft lemon blossom, while the base grounds the fruitiness with earthy vetiver and a hint of dark cacao, all underpinned by clean musk and cedar. It's a playful ride from tangy fruit to a woody, gourmand-ish drydown.
