Pros & Cons
- ✅ My absolute favourite Kenzo fragrance! Oceanic, sweet, pleasant, feel-good smell which is perfect for the spring/summer
- ✅ more rounded, less sharp than original has a sweeter note with the lime still smells similar, but less fresh soapy clean more relaxing dark watery clean
- ✅ I see the similarity with Invictus, I would say it is a darker version of Invictus, for summer night occasions ( not a clone, but the similarity is there ). Longevity is not bad, projection is very good for the first hour, but then disappear completely.
- ✅ Released this year (march of 2015), this version was introduced in the market as a fascinating and refreshing fragrance.
- ❌ Uhm, I'm a big fan of original L'Eau Par, but this lacks depth for me. It's fresh, yeah, slightly sweet undertone with some woodiness to it. Easily unisex spring/summer fragrance. But it smells so flat and non Kenzo to me. To me 4/10.
- ❌ It has zero similarity to L'eau par Kenzo pour homme. Zero! Nada! So I can't understand why it's called L'eau Kenzo Intense.
- ❌ I would say it is similar to Invictus (same family) but it is not a clone or even trying to be a clone. I really love the scent profile but this is really weak. I can put on 10 sprays and it's gone within 2 hours.
- ❌ This is sweet, pleasant but fleeting and I wish it lasted longer and was more potent.
