KENZO POUR HOMME has a very unfortunate opening. A fresh citrus aroma but of low-quality supermarket cologne, very artificial, with a smell of plastic and cleaning product. Perhaps, as others say, its success paved the way for imitations in drugstores and cheap air fresheners, and now the first thing I remember are those products, which generates rejection from the start. It’s strange that such a citrus opening can be so unfortunate, as lemon, lime, and orange always smell good, even if it’s baby cologne. Over time, nothing new appears to change my impressions. Perhaps a smell of ozone, like from electrical appliances for purifying air, which sometimes evokes hydrogen peroxide. Its trail and longevity are moderate. Decidedly, I do not connect with KENZO POUR HOMME, and worse still, so far I haven’t tried any Kenzo perfume that I like. In all of them, I perceive that cheap, plastic artificiality, of poor-quality musks, despite them being expensive fragrances. The only thing I like are their bottles, all beautiful and very Japanese ikebana style.
Say what you want, for or against, as you please. That it’s very synthetic, cloying, etc. Ja, ja. Personally, I LOVE this fragrance. Without a doubt, it’s one of my favourites.
The synthetic opening keeps the scent for the first hour, then it moves to a pleasant smell for warm days. It was my fragrance in spring/summer, and although I wouldn’t buy it again, I’d recommend it to smell different from the rest. Although many say it smells like cheap perfume, it’s not; perhaps they associate it with imitations (there are many), but it’s evident that it’s a prestigious quality brand like Kenzo, not a cheap deodorant. 7/10.
In the search, I finally found you. As a child, I remember my father using a perfume that filled the room, masculine, intense, and enveloping. This year, out of curiosity, I delved deeper into men’s fragrances and unveiled the mystery of that essence that was present in my mind but unknown. That perfume already had a name: Kenzo Pour Homme. It begins with one of the most outstanding marine notes, multifaceted with ranges of pine and sandalwood that join a shrill woody note (cedar/rosewood). It’s also spicy with nutmeg, with flashes of musk, citrus, and vetiver to a lesser extent, because woods are the queens here. This mix of sea, pine, and woods distinguishes it from the CoolWater scheme. Although they share the oceanic vibe, they go down different paths. This Kenzo lost some strength over the years and felt more synthetic, which is a pity because originally it was a very interesting aromatic experience. It still retains part of its beauty, remains on the market with a strong presence, but lacks the rich ranges that overflowed its notes upon application. A Kenzo hit that continues to conquer hearts.
Everyone considers it a classic and excellent, and I agree, but it is also the most underrated classic in history. For me, it’s the best and only fresh perfume for winter or for evening, and it truly evokes a cold ocean, a dark blue. It’s not a common scent despite the years. Kenzo is a jewel.
It starts with citrus, lime, or similar. The marine note drags a tide of scattered nuances; it reminds me of Azzaro, fragrances crafted with many memories that make that sea murky, northern, dark, and turbulent on a wooded coast. As it dries, it has a woody touch that is always marine, but the flowers kill me, they don’t suit me. Although it’s been over 20 years, it’s very wearable. The marine note evokes cleanliness, something common in other products. It recalls CoolWater but more complex, dense, and mature. It’s worn in both cold and heat. The price-to-intensity ratio is good; with 5 sprays, it lasts about 7 hours.
It’s an excellent fragrance, with a special iodine touch, like smelling a dry stone in the sun on the beach. I felt that aroma in Isla Negra, near Pablo Neruda’s house on the Chilean coast. It’s one of those unique scents; although it has been on the market for years, it feels contemporary. It’s hard to describe without smelling it, but it’s recommended to try it first.
Green that I want green, green wind, green branch… I love it, it’s brilliant: green, fresh, distinct, and original. The greenest and wettest notes dominate, but I don’t understand why it isn’t so famous. It’s worth it, very much so. Scent: 9, Longevity: 8, Sillage: 8, Versatility: 7.5.
Fresh, marine, mysterious, and nocturnal. I used it in the late 90s to go out dancing and it was a hit for compliments. Despite the passage of time, it remains high quality and original. The bottle is a design beauty, like many of Kenzo’s. I highly recommend it. Regards.
I never connected with it; it always felt invasive and overly sweet, with a synthetic scent I didn’t like. I tried it again because tastes can change, but no, I simply can’t stand it. I only detect a tinge of iodine and something sweetly ozonic (marine notes often feel like sharp chemicals) with a background of nutmeg that gives it an annoying intensity. To me, it feels more feminine; I don’t see anything masculine. If you don’t know it, better to smell it first. Of all the men’s fragrances I own, this is the one that gives me the worst headaches, alongside the Issey Miyake (they are more similar than they appear). It’s an unmistakable classic, intense, and with a unique personality… but I want it far from me. Congratulations to those who enjoy it. Goodbye.
Simply never fails. It has great longevity, projection, and sillage. You never disappear into thin air.
Intense and pleasant aroma with excellent longevity. The best part is that clothes still smell great even after washing. While many consider it suitable for hot days, I find it perfect for evening wear or winter. The best Kenzo I’ve tried.
What a perfume! I absolutely love it. It’s unique, and if you catch a whiff of it in public, you’ll want to track down the wearer. It’s masculine, sexy, and unforgettable.
I don’t like it! I expected something more woody and mature like Cool Water, but instead I encountered a synthetic scent that gives me nausea and a headache. It smells sweet, like peach or nutmeg, and although it smells better on clothes, it remains cloying and vulgar. I think it’s only suitable for people who wear it at night or in winter due to its sweetness and presence.
This perfume deserves a spot among my all-time top ten. Its scent is unique, extremely long-lasting, and boasts an excellent trail. Fresh to the point of perfection and exquisite. I simply adore it. I’d place it alongside Kenzo Homme EDT on my lifetime list: Higher by Dior, Versace Pour Homme, Acqua di Giò Profumo, Loud by Tommy, Insense by Givenchy, Sauvage by Dior, Halloween Man by Zara, and Vibrant Leather by Armani.
It doesn’t last five minutes. To be honest, a Rexona soap lasts longer and projects better. It seems this batch arrived with bottles full of water. I don’t understand how Kenzo can throw away its reputation. It’s a shame. Check the batch code carefully at the pharmacy before parting with your cash; a Paulvic clone lasts five times longer.
A difficult scent to like but with character. There are Kosiuko deodorants in Argentina that are almost identical. It smells like glue mixed with peach and intense green notes. It’s explosive upon application and leaves a dense trail that lingers in the air; even a neighbour can smell it and it’s noticeable. It’s a proper stinker that, although I don’t have it today, will return to my collection one day.
Does anyone know the name of that clone said to mimic this Kenzo Homme? And what colour is the bottle or the deodorant?
Batch code 2020 and after just two hours, there’s absolutely no scent left on the skin. Utterly disappointing.
I never judge a perfume by its ingredients, but by the overall feeling it evokes. Kenzo Pour Homme used to transport me to a mystical forest or a tranquil Mediterranean coast, just before the storm broke. For years, it was my go-to fragrance, a magnetism that everyone recognised. Unfortunately, after the change of ownership, it no longer has that projection or magical evolution; only the first few seconds remain a memory. Kenzo, you will always have a place in my heart.
I remember it with much love and affection; it was one of my youthful post-adolescent perfumes, and I recall it as a scent oozing very distinguished and unique elegance. It had that herbaceous touch of a rainforest, meadow, and air after wet earth, leaving a sweet aftertaste that wasn’t cloying. I hope they haven’t ruined it with their dreadful and pointless reformulations. The bottle with its carved bamboo branches and matte black finish seemed like a work of art.
I tried it the other day; it seemed interesting: a sort of almondy Davidoff Coolwater. Pity it wasn’t there after two hours. It gives me the impression that in its time it must have been a real hit.
Kenzo Pour Homme, what beautiful memories. Fragrances were so different back then. For me, it evokes a sense of cold, I don’t know why, but I loved it immensely. I no longer wear it now as tastes change with age, but my opinion of this noble fragrance is very positive. If you detect a strong ozonic sea breeze note blending with spices like cloves and nutmeg, and the lily of the valley with a strong violet note, it’s a rare and interesting mix. The violet isn’t listed; it appears as iris root, but I perceive a dusty floral violet nuance. Projection: 10/10, Longevity: 8/10, Scent: superbly different.
I can’t be objective. This was my first great designer fragrance. I adore it because it brings back such wonderful memories. I used it constantly at summer parties by the riverbank. I love it and will always keep it; I’ll buy it a thousand times over.
In Argentina, for less than one dollar (250 pesos), you can get SAPHIRUS MAN, a fabric freshener. It is 100% identical to the same fragrance. Here in Argentina, for under 1 US dollar, you can find SAPHIRUS MAN; it’s incredible, it’s exactly the same scent.
Something exceptional, 20 years as my main perfume, with head-turning twists after passing it a thousand times. Brutal trail and days of longevity, what a pity about the change. The reformulation has been criminal. It is time to find a substitute for what was my personal signature for so long.
Stunning and legendary. I have just bought this Kenzo Pour Homme. What does it smell like? I have no idea; it is an incredible chemical amalgam. At first, it smells like Pronto furniture polish, then after five minutes like hairspray, and after twenty minutes like a fresh breeze between trees. I detect lemon; a companion said it was a lemony Cool Water and they were right. Then comes the floral character, rose or jasmine, and finally wet woods. It smells like a storm, like the calm before the storm. Nothing modern smells like this. It doesn’t give you a headache, but I can’t stop smelling it. It’s a pity it doesn’t last long. The 2021 batch in the Katana bottle must be reformulated; it is not the beast of before. It lasts four hours, but it is ADDICTIVE and UNIQUE.
Yes, but no. I tried it for the nth time today, and although the shop smells of Scandal, I still don’t like Kenzo Pour Homme. It is not bad, perhaps good, and I am glad it has its loyalists, but without memories or nostalgia, it lacks the emotional touch to rate it. I struggle to identify the notes apart from the aquatic bergamot, which are invisible to me. The floral and woody development with a sweet, calm, perhaps resinous trail is brilliant but hollow, like a pretty industrial cake without any heart. Perhaps I became saturated without realising. Longevity is doubtful, but the projection is decent. Not everything is for everyone, but I am glad it works for someone else. Enjoy it.
I tried it years ago and never returned to it. It is strange, synthetic, and artificial, with so many notes that you can barely identify three or four. It’s like throwing a pile of things in your face without a distinct scent. At first, it is sharp, citrusy, marine, perhaps ozonic, then white flowers, and finally soft woods. I don’t like it, just like the rest of Kenzo. I will never look at this house again. I don’t know about longevity or projection because I didn’t like it, but it doesn’t smell bad, just unsurprising. It is fresh and has its devotees, especially women.
What a find, Kenzo Pour Homme. I first read about it in a 90s article listing nearly 50 ingredients, and it was a total shock. I still have a bottle from 1991 that I use occasionally; it remains aquatic, floral, and woody, incredibly complex, and lasts until you tire of it. I understand the confusion surrounding the reformulations, which have nothing to do with the original, not even the crystal drawings were removed. For me, it is Kenzo’s finest: original, high quality, and versatile. I only recommend the first version; it is truly unique.
Ah, it’s the signature fragrance of my father. I’ve kept a bottle for 20 years and it has changed over time, so I’m reviewing the earliest age I remember. It’s the one he wore on special occasions or when meeting executives. Women back then loved it (approx. 2006). It’s a perfume that imposes itself with confidence, leaves a trail, projects strongly and seriously. It was very refreshing, very complex, with a predominant woody note. A “I’m not a heavy man, but don’t come play with me”. As I can see, they reformulated it, because before it lasted hours and hours and you couldn’t get it out of clothes. Currently it has adopted another scent, less refreshing and more aggressive, so my father switched to Polo Double Black.
It’s like a sunny day on a beach on an island with lush vegetation. As the hours pass, you see over the ocean that the horizon is beginning to darken. The sky above you starts to cloud over. In the distance, you see a storm forming: there are lightning flashes. You feel slowly how the air is charging, becoming dense and heavy, and you intuit that out there the rain has already started and the storm is imminent to reach the island, but it hasn’t started raining yet. At that precise moment, Kenzo Pour Homme smells to me. 8/10
I started using it in 1994. I discovered it thanks to a French friend I met on holiday in the US. For over thirty years, it was part of my identity and essence until the reformulation, which was a drama. I was left orphaned of a scent. To this day, I’m still searching for a perfume in which I can recognise myself as I was. I promised myself never to buy or recommend another Kenzo perfume again.
The perfect perfume!!! Fresh, woody, long-lasting, with a pleasant trail. I remember keeping a trench coat soaked in it; I took it out a year later and it still smelled. The new formula was a massive letdown compared to the original. I’m still hunting for it in small shops.
It’s the kind of perfume that turns heads; you can be ugly but with this, you’ll have people at your feet, haha. I love it, smells like a MAN 🔥
It was the first designer fragrance I ever tried, and it won me over instantly: since I first encountered it at age 11 (1997), when my dad worked as a long-haul truck driver, I fell in love with its scent; he always wore it when travelling. I consider it a work of art, an essential in any collection… If I had to choose just one fragrance for the rest of my life, it would undoubtedly be this one (I always buy pre-reformulation batches, the original Katana bottle)… My six-year-old son adores it and always asks for a spritz when I wear it… Clearly, I’ll keep buying it until the end of my days, and my son will continue the tradition because he loves it so much. It has excellent sillage, longevity, and several hours of skin presence; it earns compliments wherever I go. It’s a unique composition that delights everyone, enveloping and refreshing the wearer… It’s a distinctive scent, ‘smelling like Kenzo’… Unique Edit 5/12/24: I managed to find what I believe is the only bottle in the country (Argentina) from 1991 (not the current one, but the original, dark trunk-style bottle with carved details and a removable cap), and it is three times more potent and long-lasting than the 2014 version (I compared them side by side), so cherish every drop of this little gem!! That was my dad’s scent 💪🏻
Something strange happened with this perfume: I experienced olfactory fatigue, couldn’t stand it, and had to give it away. To be fair, it did last a long time, but it gave me headaches. On the other hand, I found it very sweet, almost feminine. I gave it to my partner and they absolutely loved it.
This was my first perfume, back in 1999. To my nose, apart from evoking nostalgia, its scent reminds me of a misty autumn forest, a very particular aroma unlike anything I’ve tried before.
Up close, it has that old-school vibe that marks it as from another era. To me, it smells a bit like sun cream with nuances of old wooden furniture, like an old wardrobe. I’d say it’s almost a unique scent, nothing common.
It was my signature scent from 1994 right up to today, even though they’ve reformulated it; if I find an old bottle, I buy it on the spot. At first, with the early batches, it was absolutely beastly: incredible projection and a spectacular dry-down, to the point where my university mates would stick right to me. What a shame that the reformulations haven’t been the same…
