Kenzo

by Kenzo Takada

What's it like?...: A light, woodsy- herbal fragrance. Similar to Horizon, by Guy Laroche (except Horizon has spice instead of wood.)
When to wear it...: It's almost rich enough to wear out to dinner at night, but it's really subtle. So make it either a casual day-time, or a casual dinner.
How it lasted on me...: Ugh, nothing! I think an hour!? For it's price ($63 for the 3.4oz) it should last a heck of a longer time!
The bottle...: Kinda neat. It's a dark blue, frosted bamboo shoot.
Miscellaneous details...: Kenzo is a French designer, of Japanese descent, that started out in the fashion industry years ago- and then moved into the Men's Fragrance market. He set out to make a "very different men's fragrance." That- he did.
In my opinion...: It's alright, but the herbal tinge really isn't my thing. It especially bugs me when you spend $60 on a fragrance that doesn't last! Unfortunately, I don't predict good things for this one- the herbal thing didn't work for Horizon, so why should it work for this one?
