Black plum
Thus far, only a few perfumes have utilised the power of black plum. As soon as you experience its captivating aroma, you'll understand why it's one to watch! Plum is usually thought of as a soft and delicate fruit, yet this darker take on the scent is perfect for sultry dates and nights out. When paired with creamy delicate notes like white magnolia, it's as complex and interesting as you are...
Where to find it: The Kenzo World Eau De Parfum Intense revolves around addictive notes of velvety black plum. This unique edp is bold, powerful and determined - the ultimate sidekick for strong, confident women! This black plum and jasmine scent is paired with radiant peony and gourmand vanilla for a perfectly balanced eau de parfum. The bottle is shaped like a striking eye, making it look as good as it smells!
Bulgarian Rose
Rose perfumes have a reputation for being overly sweet - something that's not the case with Bulgarian rose. Known as ‘liquid gold’, its scent is light and sophisticated. Depending on the product, up to 1300 roses can make as little as 1 gram of Bulgarian Rose essence. For that reason, it’s one of the rarest and most valuable perfume ingredients. Only recently has it come to mainstream perfumes - why not be the first to snap it up?
Where to find it: Flower by Kenzo Eau de Lumière. This sensual and oh-so-feminine fragrance is both radiant and energetic - the total opposite to deep, musky perfumes. If you prefer fresh and floral scents, it's undoubtedly the one for you. Bulgarian Rose is met with zest, jasmine and delicate pear. It's the perfect Kenzo perfume for gifting loved ones - or yourself!
Yuzu
Have you heard of yuzu yet? This citrus fruit is similar to lemon or lime, but a little more exotic. Harvested in China, Korea and Japan, it’s slowly making its way into perfume bottles around the world. A squirt of yuzu perfectly balances sweet floral scents, hence why select Kenzo fragrances are utilising its refreshing citrus tones. Perfume connoisseurs love to pair it with jasmine scents for a blend that’s fresh yet complex.
Where to find it: The L'eau Kenzo Homme Eau De Toilette Pour. This edt may be light yet you won't find it lacking complexity. Yuzu and frosted mint create unrivalled freshness, while subtle cedarwood adds smoky depth. Not too heavy, its delicate scent lingers in the air long after you’ve departed the room. While this Kenzo fragrance can be worn all year round, its cool tones are especially well-suited to the winter months.
Mandarin
Oriental Mandarin is at the heart of many a Kenzo signature scent. Its fresh brightness is captivating when paired alongside other Eastern accords just as tea, lotus and jasmine. While fresh oriental scents have been worn for many centuries in Asia, they're now growing in popularity worldwide. There's no time like the present to get on the bandwagon with a moreish mandarin accord...
Where to find it: The Kenzo Jeu D'amour Eau De Parfum. An edp with a purpose, this delectable Kenzo perfume celebrates elegant white flowers. Mandarin joins tea, pomegranate, tuberose and freesia in this addictively sweet and sensual eau de parfum. It’s light, oh-so-feminine and effortlessly captivating. Wear it day or night.
