Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a sharp, cooling burst of fig. Unlike creamy or overly sweet figs, this is a 'glacee' interpretation—crisp, green, and slightly tart, accompanied by unlisted citrus nuances like grapefruit and orange peel.
As the initial chill settles, the violet leaf becomes prominent. This provides a metallic, watery, and slightly ozonic texture that bridges the gap between the fruity opening and the more grounded base.
The drydown is characterized by a clean, slightly earthy oakmoss. It retains a hint of the aquatic DNA from the original L'Eau Kenzo but remains light and close to the skin, with a faint suggestion of black tea.
Performance Dashboard
3-4 hours; performance is notably weak, mirroring the airy nature of the original EDT.
Modest; stays within a few inches of the wearer, making it very intimate.
Moderate for the first 30 minutes before becoming a skin scent.
