Kenzo World Power Kenzo 2019 Eau de Parfum

This is a pretty wild and unique blend, and also surprisingly unisex for a feminine designer release.

World Power combines a very buttery, sweet tonka bean with a salty skin accord, a hint of the fruity, syrupy opening of the original Kenzo World and a touch of synthetic fresh woodsiness. I suppose that's meant to be cypress. At times the fragrance even smells a little like cinnamon to me, which is likely just the coumarin from the tonka.

So, this is not just another Olympea-esque salty beach scent, it has more layers. Unfortunately it gives me the impression that they tried to mix in as many popular accords as possible, so the final result feels a little crowded and chaotic.
I enjoy the buttery, spiced and salted tonka sweetness in this, but I'm not a big fan of the rather harsh cypress. I would like it way more if it smelled closer to a real tree and had less of that "random woodsy note in a male-marketed product" going on.

All in all, I don't love it, I don't hate it, I'm still not 100% sure what to make of it. I will say that it suits the yellow eye bottle perfectly, but I'll let you decide if that's a good or a bad thing. If the marketing appeals to you, definitely do try.

Maritime-salty vanilla or coconut is already well-known.
Personally, I find a maritime note in fragrances really beautiful, especially for warm days.
That's why I was very intrigued by this scent.
But somehow I didn't get around to getting a sample or decant of it.
Two days ago, I was sitting at my PC and decided to finally buy a sample.
That didn't happen, as I ended up thinking it would be better to blindly order a 30 ml bottle :D.
It arrived today and of course had to be tested right away.
Wow, the opening is already grand.
You immediately get this beautiful maritime tonka bean.
I already find maritime coconut great, but this here...
My God, simply dreamy.
It doesn't undergo a big transformation.
On my skin, it becomes a bit sweeter than at first and develops a soft creaminess.
Wonderful aromatic, salty, woody, maritime, sweet (not too sweet), and creamy tonka bean.
Although maritime, it doesn't feel cool to me.
I perceive it as rather warm.
I'm in love.

Anyone who, like me, loves tonka bean and also enjoys maritime-salty scents should definitely check this one out.

When I first laid eyes on the Kenzo Eye, I immediately flew towards the original bottle, as I am a fan of dust-catching display pieces.

But alas - the EdP just couldn't land with me.

The Eye and I looked at each other sadly - it would have been so beautiful...

But recently I discovered the EdT - and this "eye-catching" captivated me.
Very soft and endearing.

Unfortunately, the Eye led a lonely existence - and disturbed my sense of symmetry.

Today, however, I found - eureka! - the Power Eye!
The title made me hesitate - as I hardly fit the image of a capable power woman - although I spent my youth in "Powerland," namely Sauerland.

Just the first spray sweeps my doubts aside, as Power develops a very subtle "strength" - namely a very unique attraction.

The sweet-salty note is refined and exciting. Capricious.
Green ethereal cypress mixes in - a seductive poetry envelops me.
The sexy fairy in the enchanted forest.

Which brings us back to the beautiful Powerland - Sauerland.

Now two eyes look at me knowingly - and to that plays The Power of Love - by Frankie goes to Hollywood.

Wow, what a surprise...Hats off...wow. I find it enchanting. Something that doesn't smell like rose...not your typical scent. Really wonderfully artificial, but aesthetic. Warm, yellow, and powerful is not an understatement; it is very pompous in a cooler way. It still smells like the bottle after 4 hours on me. The longevity is above average. Tonka is long and rich...the salt is very subtle. It's not mainstream. And one should sleep on it for a night before deciding to get it...for some noses, it can come off as extremely jumpy, here I come.

This scent reminds me of a sunset; it is so beautiful and warm at heart. The cypress remains present the whole time, but with a warm radiance that is soft and somewhat sweetly comforting, oh simply wonderful. I think you can really immerse yourself in this perfume; it lasts for soooo many hours. This salty component is uniquely beautiful, like a woman with her own opinion, and she stands by it. It makes a statement in the surroundings, stands out very well, is quickly noticed, and leaves a positive memory. I am very pleased that there is nothing floral-fruity here. It spreads a relaxed warmth that comes from great self-confidence - this woman knows how to live, smiles at her own little mistakes, has a big open heart, and loves to try out completely crazy things because she is satisfied with herself and her karma, and that smile is her most intimate companion. Beautiful bottle that attracts and feels good in the hand. Interesting, new, and very positive.
