  I bought it with a 25% discount at a local perfumerie. I had already smelled it before and it caught my attention greatly. Among its ingredients are ginger, lemon, grapefruit, shiso (Asian perilla leaves), bitter orange, nutmeg, clove, and cedar. The first impression is an intense and peppery smell, perhaps due to the shiso or clove, but in seconds it eases to give way to a soft spiced accord with woods, a fresh sensation that endures. The dry-down has a smell similar to vanilla, soft with a slight fruity citrus touch. In my perception, it has a pleasant aquatic touch. The fixation and projection are acceptable, not the best. Despite being spiced and woody, the scent is soft and works well on sunny days. At night, it is not bad, although it can be overwhelmed by heavier fragrances. It suits ages 25 to 45, it is modern, elegant, and striking. In summary, it is a good fragrance, I recommend it.

  It is the only Kenzo perfume I like. In short, it smells of green tea mixed with red pepper; those are the notes I distinguish. After 3 hours, the bitter orange becomes noticeable. It smells clean and fresh. It has good longevity (8-10h) and moderate sillage. The bottle is typical of Kenzo for men, but the flashes of colour refer to the lights of Tokyo. Overall, it is good, not so common, and that is why I prefer it. For me, an 8/10.

  A novel perfume, ideal for social use in enclosed spaces. It fades and becomes muted at night, but I acknowledge that Kenzo developed one of its best fragrances with this Tokyo. On my skin, with generous application, it lasts 7 to 9 hours with moderate projection. The best adjective is ‘intimate’.

  A novel fragrance, ideal for social use in enclosed spaces. It fades by night and is easily overshadowed, but I cannot deny that Kenzo created one of its finest works with this Tokyo. On my skin, over-applying, it lasts 7 to 9 hours with moderate projection. The best word that comes to mind is ‘intimate’.

  Tokyo by Kenzo fits the brand’s philosophy: notes over an intense wood base, the guaiac. The opening is an explosive, nervous, and electric citrus sensation, like the impressions of its packaging. It is not the citrus itself, but an intense ground red pepper with zest, where the nutmeg articulates the notes. The whole is sharp, but in 5 minutes the top notes drop into a woody, spiced accord with an acidic and soapy character, deep and masculine. After 45 minutes, the intensity drops to a dry-down reminiscent of Kenzo Pour Homme, but without the aquatic note, maintaining that woody kinship. It becomes very beautiful once it loses its vigour, hence its fame. The wood is accompanied by subtle spiced auras and critical ozonic nuances of a strange and beautiful complexity. It is perfect for any time of day in hot weather (5 hours), although it seems better from afternoon to night (8 hours). It should be applied 30 minutes in advance. Unfortunately, it is discontinued, but it can still be found. Respectfully, I say it has nothing to do with Pure Energy.

  Kenzo Tokyo fits perfectly with its philosophy: notes built on an intense woody base, here the guaiac. This semi-precious tree delivers a rich woody accord. It opens with a saturated, nervous, electric citrus burst like the bottle, yet these aren’t real citrus notes but ground red pepper with bark, where nutmeg bridges the top, heart and wood. The blend is sharp; after five minutes the top notes recede, leaving a smooth, spiced woody trail with acidity and soapy touches (not barbershop-style), deep and masculine. By 45 minutes, the intensity fades into a dry-down reminiscent of Kenzo Pour Homme without the aquatic edge, but with that full-on woody kinship. It becomes truly beautiful as it loses its bite; this is where its reputation truly shines for me. The wood is accompanied by subtle spiced auras and ozone-like facets of strange, beautiful complexity. Ideal for any time of day in heat (lasting 5 hours), though it seems better suited for evening wear (8 hours); in both cases, apply it 30 minutes in advance. Unfortunately discontinued, but still obtainable. Respectfully, it has nothing to do with Pure Energy.

  Kenzo Tokyo is one of the most impressive fragrances of the twenty-first century. It has 6 to 7 hours of longevity and moderate to high projection. It is a delicious and masculine blend of citrus, wood, spices, and green tea. If you like Gucci Rush, Quorum Silver, or Fahrenheit Absolute, this is for you. A safe purchase. Fragrance: 9/10, Longevity: 7/10, Projection: 7/10, Sillage: 8/10, Value for Money: 10/10. Overall Score: 8.2/10.

  I cannot review this without mentioning José Luis Tacora Córdova, a Peruvian friend I met through this hobby who passed away prematurely three months ago. He generously left this bottle for my collection; I thank him from the bottom of my heart for his gift and hope he is at peace. Regarding Tokyo by Kenzo: it is a fresh, relaxed, sparkling, and striking olfactive construction, like a night cocktail. Ideal for a weekend outing without commitments, with an open mind to the surprise. After a sour start, the ginger and nutmeg take shape, reminiscent of Quorum Silver but more ‘Haute Couture’, less potent but more complex. The green tea is very transparent and alive; the pepper is noticeable without being spicy. The citrus notes give that relaxed touch. There is an ozonic background that accentuates its youthful and urban side. The bottle design is phenomenal: an abstract bamboo stalk wrapped in beams of light evoking the city and sunset. The packaging also fits the concept. It is a pleasant and interesting scent, although with contained performance; after two hours, effort becomes noticeable. It starts with vigour but escapes quickly, leaving a clean citrus trail. Rating: 8/10.

  I liked Tokyo by Kenzo, although it didn’t quite captivate me. It’s a medicinal citrus with soft herbs, offering little sillage and longevity. Pleasant but innocuous. The opening is a well-executed citrus explosion of ginger, grapefruit, and lime. It then evolves into a luminous green accord with shiso, mate, and green tea; the shiso smells like a mix of dill and lemon. I perceive this evolution towards soft herbs without losing the citrus notes. According to the English website, the base features pink pepper and bitter orange, though I don’t detect the pepper and the orange remains hidden. The wood base of guaiac, cedar, clove, and nutmeg is completely imperceptible to me. The English description is very aesthetic and beautiful, but I simply don’t smell it. Others with a better sense of smell might. The bottle is shaped like bamboo with night lights over black, very original. The promotional video is fast with images of Tokyo, but the techno-chillout music doesn’t hook me, and the Western model doesn’t fit; it seems a bit xenophobic.

  I loved it when it was new; moderate performance but a very pleasant and uncommon scent. I haven’t seen it in stores anymore, I believe they’ve discontinued it or something similar.

  I bought this when it was new and absolutely loved it. The scent is very pleasant and uncommon, though the performance is merely average. I haven’t seen it in stores since; I believe it has been discontinued.
