The Kiss of the Kong
It testifies to eccentricity and humour to call his first fragrance King Kong. But that's Kenzo! The love for nature, animals, flowers and the tropical jungle can be seen very quickly in his creations. His fashion is colourful and cheerful and always marked with a humorous wink. In 1980 Kenzo released his first perfume which is one of the most beautiful for me because it is so weird and yet so wearable. With King Kong de Kenzo he takes us into his jungle of aromas. In a jungle where something lives that wants to get to know us. Let's see who or what it is!

King Kong de Kenzo begins its journey with fresh, airy and light aldehydes that are interspersed with soft hints of cloves. Not scratchy but very tender and spicy.
Various other spices sneak in with those one cannot identify exactly. This gives the perfume more depth and makes it more full-bodied. Then King Kong begins to transform carefully. He gets green and subtropical features. The banana comes to wear. But there are no sweet, yellow and fully ripe bananas to smell. Quite the opposite is the case. It is the scent of immature and green bananas. It smells like breaking through this immature banana in the middle and spreading the chlorophyll of the cracked skin in the air and on the skin. A herb-green scent that lies on the spicy ground and pervades it. This green-spicy impression will be lightened again by peppermint. However, it is not artificial peppermint that resonates there, but fresh and very realistic. It's like separating the leaves from the bush and rubbing them in your palms. Everything smells incredibly real and natural. King Kong de Kenzo swings into this stage for a long time before he sinks into a kind of green amber. A combination of a warm amber and musty, tart, spicy oakmoss. A basis that unites and binds all previous notes. Moosy and green-spicy harmonies!

Conclusion
King Kong de Kenzo Is so refreshing and so completely different.
He is wild, cheeky, warmhearted, spicy, lovable and charming.
King Kong picks you up from the spicy soft soil of the jungle and puts you on his warm and wide back. From there it swings from liana to liana through dark green-brown vegetation. He climbs with you the largest and most resinous tree in the whole jungle up to the canopy of leaves. There he sits shoulder to shoulder with you on a green-brown and soft moss bed and feeds herb-green bananas while the sun sets on the horizon of the jungle in warm golden and harmonious tones. King Kong isn't loud and scary. He is kind, warm and very protective. It's not necessarily made for the cold. He needs it warm and tropical to bloom. He is friendly to all people whether man or woman and accompanies them up to six hours. Then he gets tired and withdraws. King Kong de Kenzo is the essence of nature in a very unusual form. It may be a relic, but one of the most remarkable, coolest and lovable of its time. And should you encounter a King Kong the sentence is really true...

Don't worry... he just wants to play!
