Aquaman would wear this!
Admittedly, a steep thesis.
I'm not talking about the blond rag-tag Aquaman from the comics of my childhood, but the action Aquaman from the latest films who looks like Jason Momoa. A fragrance with the robust aura of oceanic spice and a power that probably projects underwater and can still be smelled even after a dive lasting several hours. No, I'm not exaggerating, I swear a hundred million times!
If there really was any hype about the Kenzo Homme EdP, it completely passed me by. When I tested it in stores, none of the Kenzos have really impressed me yet. But I'm all the more fascinated by this one.
The opening is really powerful and rustic. For me, it feels as if the fragrance grabs you by the collar and looks deep into your eyes to ask: "Are you strong enough for this aroma?". Either you look away intimidated and quickly reach for AdG or D&G LBEE with pee in your eyes. Or you can withstand the stare and be rewarded with a respectful nod and an elegant and stable fragrance with a distinctive patchouli note. I perceive the stated leather as very soft and rather subtle. I also imagine a hint of fruit, but nothing citrusy. More like an exotic dried fruit, fig or something, but there are finer noses than mine to identify this better.
The aforementioned longevity is really remarkable, easy eight to ten hours, with a strong projection and sillage in the first two to three hours. More than two sprays are neither necessary nor useful. The bottle, well...let me put it this way: it's better not to lift the bottle by the lid. The design idea as such is of course appropriate and understandable.
Basically, Kenzo is a refreshing change, at least in the context of aquatic designer fragrances. My association here is not so much the Mediterranean with its fine sandy beach, but rather a rugged bay in the Southeast Asian Pacific. Thanks to its power and spice, it can be worn all year round, both casually and for formal occasions. I find it extremely versatile, but also polarizing. Definitely outstanding!

Damn, why the hell did I buy this fragrance!
I have enough sweet stuff, enough vanilla, lavender, fruit and freshness. Yes, enough synthetics too. An unnecessary purchase. So why?
At the forefront certainly this fresh straight-in-your-face sweetness,...
