Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum

People repeat marine , but no marine smell for me here,,sory,,this must be the see on Mars in terms of natural transportation ..non than less - a very interesting concept and execution. realy strong and long lasting with very prolong drydown and base finishing.

The most masculine smell you can imagine that's how this one smells beautiful this is my third bottle of this masterpiece

Anlamı ve özel hissettirdiği bir koku değil, Le Sel Dissey daha iyi deniz notoları için..

Reminds me of orto parisi megamare, https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Orto-Parisi/Megamare-53471.html Smelling in the air seems good, but sniffing the skin,,, Simply No,, Marine thing is too off-putting

Perfect designer for niche snobs. Furthermore, I don't know of any other designer frag at this price that has this much nuclear sillage and longevity. I find it a bit too cloying for summer, and it's too strong for some occasions, making it difficult to match, but I think it's a wonderful fragrance in terms of smell and quality. A very dark and masculine scent that feels like swimming in the deep ocean at night.

It's a nice masculine, dark, oceanic fragrance. It's smooth and long lasting. Projects well too. Feels like walking around an ocean with a leather jacket in night. In my opinion, you can wear it all year around, day and night. A good signature scent if you like this. Patchouli is not too strong to make it hard to like. It's the perfect amount. Price is also good at discounters. Worth the money. If you like dark fragrances, this is a must in your collection.

Oh Man… this is a really well-made fragrance. It opens with a fresh, salty marine scent, and as it develops, the leather note adds depth and character without taking away the freshness. The balance between the two is what makes this fragrance stand out. It feels modern, versatile, and easy to wear in almost any season. Performance is also very good, with solid longevity and a pleasant scent trail. If you enjoy fresh fragrances but want something with a bit more character than the typical blue scent. It is definitely worth trying. A great release from Kenzo. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

Reminds me of Burberry Brit Rhythm I had back in the day, not surprising since they share the leather and patchouli notes. For me it is the best in Homme line and I think it’s a scent you can easily wear any season.

Can't wait to sample this. Totally blind bought a 110ml bottle off the many positive reviews. I'm filtering out my cheapie clones slowly as their quality has massively dropped the last while and price has crept up also. Definitely gonna be quality over quantity from now on. Edit... Can confirm Kenzo edp dry down especially is simply divine. It smells like some luxurious dark blue saltwater with manly leather and an earthy patchouli. In the opening everything sort of hits you all at once until the notes settle on your skin but it's never off putting. Very unique and masculine scent profile. Signature scent worthy and all season suitable.

Nose Note #1086 I used to have Lattafa Wajood and from memory it was somewhat similar, but perhaps even darker and more marine salty. This is basically something like Megamare, but much much lighter, with some light florals, a subtle note of jasmine. Or, say, something like Bvlgari Aqva Marine, but denser. I'd say it's not that pleasant. Marine fragrances often come off somewhat dirty and even semen-like, this is one such case. At least in my head it doesn't feel like a nice masculine scent. Niche-masculine, maybe, but I would not recommend this to anyone unless they enjoy this particular style of quasi-marine fragrances. I can't even say it's 100% masculine, more like masculine leaning. And it's better in the air than upclose. Performance is better than moderate, but nothing crazy. Wajood was definately stronger 6.3/10

honestly it’s nice and it lasts a long time. So far, no compliments on it either. Honestly, when I wear it, I feel like I need to layer something else with it, like something’s missing even though the scent itself is nice. I don’t think it’s bad at all, but for me it feels ‘basic.’ It does last long, and you get three notes pretty clearly, that’s it. It gives off this kind of sweet, oceanic/beachy vibe i don’t really know how to describe it exactly, but I feel like if it comes out during summer, for the beach/swimming vibe, this one would really stand out.

A little more spicy/leathery than marine to my nose, especially with the patchouli coming through. Interesting scent, but not one I'd buy a full bottle of.

Unique marine, the kind of fragrance that makes you forget about all other 100 bottles you own

El clásico ejemplo de que las evaluaciones de fragrantica no hacen justicia, esto debería tener al menos un 4.50, es una maravilla, dura, proyecta y es sofisticado, muy versátil. El mejor para mí de la línea.

Interesting fragrance. I was expecting a more straightforward marine scent, but there's much more going on in the composition than the three listed notes would suggest. Unfortunately, Quinten Bisch's signature use of strong aroma chemicals, is done here as well and makes me go anosmic quickly, something I also experienced with Bois Imperial. Because of that, I had to spray it on a tester strip and test it over time. It opens with a strong seaweed like accord. It's dark, inky and slightly fishy, but not salty or airy in the way calone or typical ozonic notes are. Over time, that accord fades as an edible patchouli note and warm spices become more prominent. Akigalawood is also very noticeable here, and the drydown strongly reminds me of Bois Imperial. One thing I really liked was the presentation. The packaging and bottle are minimal yet beautiful. Despite what I thought from the pictures, it feels more premium than a toy like bottle, and the cap grips tightly as well. I saw many reviews mentioning that the caps in this line are very loose, but mine actually clicks in firmly and can even hold the weight of the bottle when picked up by the cap. Overall, I'm not saying I'm blown away, but it's a cool concept and a very reliable daily wear for men. Definitely not your typical designer marine scent. I'm going to spend more time with it and see what else I can discover about the scent. Update: compliment magnet. especially from the ladies. lasts well above 8 hours on my skin and even days on clothes. Was telling myself this will not work out in heat until i wore it in 35 degrees and was not disappointed at all. such a gorgeous masterpiece. 10/10

Anyone with a trained nose can easily detect Quentin's signature touch here. It's so simple, so good, yet it carries a distinct niche vibe. Definitely doesn't feel like a standard designer fragrance to me. Full stop.

Amazing Marine scent

"like a rogue Bleu de Chanel that's gotten involved into some shit" lmao!!! and yet accurate. Yeah I agree this one blows me away. Looking into full bottle but gotta test more with the Marine which I already own. Yeah it shares some dna but the more I compare and contrast the more I feel is stands on its own. A year around BANGER!!!

this is underrated as hell, like a rogue Bleu de Chanel that's gotten involved into some shit. all seasons powerhouse.

This is a lightly spiced suede/ leather fragrance with a DARK BLUE character; it does have an aquatic nuance that’s a bit ozonic and almost inky, which greatly complements the mild sweet essence of the leather, to create something unique, which comes across extremely seductive, masculine, and mysterious. I’d imagine this is what James Bond would smell like if he was sailing in a boat at midnight.

@Yassix and those who smell pickles, sometimes it’s better to stick with your real hobbies if you are not ready for the world of fragrance. Quentin Bisch could possibly create a masterpiece out of a pickle and gramma’s hand cream, and you’d not know it, or even praise it. This one is another highlights of his art. A genial blue fragrance that breaks the rules of blue only to create its own category - an absolutely dark fresh, elegant, unique scent that will not be limited to a season. This is my second Quentin Bisch’s blind buy, and I had no trace of doubt I’m investing in a gem

Smells like hand cream. Very dull, simple scent. Can't really find anything special to it. Waste of money.

@Albafield - It's perfectly fine that you didn't understand and don't worry about it at all. Someone has better developed senses and a higher IQ than you. Put on some Dior Sauvage and chill.

I don’t even understand it. The opening is really good. But after about an hour, an incredibly artificial scent starts to unfold. It’s definitely long-lasting, but what for? This is the kind of fragrance I was praying would disappear as soon as possible…! Luckily, I only bought a sample of it. Terrible!

Got multiple bottles to compare them. A 2023 batch and a 2026 batch. Let me tell you, they smell the same and they have the same longevity. Only diffence in my experience is the projection. The 2023 (Blue atomizer) has way better projection. But u also have to mention that that bottle has been maturing for around 3 years now. After spraying my new bottle and letting it sit for around 2 months it became way more potent. I’m sure that the new batches will become as strong as the older ones. Just takes time

A viking sailing through a calm midnight Ocean vibes.

A Top Shelf Masterpiece 🤌 Its a slow burn very much in the phases Bisch constructs the layers of his fragrances. The dry down is addictive in the ways of Ganymede / Bois Impérial but in a blue marine scent Very dry, none of that youthful, "candy ass" sweetness is included in this scent. This is Thomas Shelby "grown men have entered the room now" I wear this only when I'm dressed impeccably. This is the late, great Kobe Bryant GQ Suit type of fragrance, when he was showing up to a close out game in May A perfect fragrance to me 100/100

I caught an old 06/2022 batch for a decent price. Again, everything has already been written about this fragrance. It smells like Maggi for the first hour, but then it's totally devine. I wore it for the first time full wear today and I've already received 3 compliments from strangers.. Performance ultra good Kenzo is one of the most underrated perfume houses

Staying on the aquatic and marine theme, I have a special one today. Kenzo Homme EDP, perfumed by none other than Quentin Bisch. It's described as a sensual interpretation of leather warmed by sunlight and brightened by spicy facets, so let's see what it's all about. (Quick side note: There is a lot I to be said about the pre-2022 version, how this compares to the original EDT, and batch performance discussions. For this review though, I'm going to judge it as its own fragrance as much as possible.) The opening of Kenzo Homme EDP is made up of sea notes mixed with what I can only describe as an allspice accord. It reminds me of a blend of clove and cinnamon, but with a salty twist that may be coming from the leather. It's very unique and there is also a faint sweetness in the background that I suspect comes from fig. The opening has just enough funk from the marine notes to keep you coming back for another smell. After about 30 to 45 minutes, the spice begins to soften and more of the leather starts to come through. The fragrance becomes a little darker and smoother while also revealing something that feels very Quentin Bisch. I get a Bois Imperial adjacent Akigalawood character, but here it is wrapped in that salty marine accord from the opening. Around the hour and a half to two hour mark, the fragrance settles into an earthy mix of patchouli and leather with a subtle salty sweetness. If you're familiar with Kenzo fragrances or other work from Bisch, you'll probably have a good idea of the territory this occupies. One thing I really appreciate is the simplicity of the official note pyramid. Not because it is accurate, because I don't think it is, but because it encourages you to explore the fragrance for yourself. Instead of following a detailed list of notes and waiting for them to appear, you end up forming your own interpretation of what you're smelling. I find that refreshing. It's also been nice to see how positive the reception for this particular fragrance has been. Review after review seems to praise this fragrance. That's somewhat surprising because a composition centered around sea notes, leather, and patchouli could have easily been divisive. Whatever is happening with the blend, combined with that addictive Akigalawood style DNA, is clearly working for a lot of people. Performance on my bottle has been excellent. It lasts all day on my skin with no issues. At first I thought the performance was poor, but it turns out I was simply going nose blind to it while other people could still detect it quite strongly. I don't think this review fully does the fragrance justice. If you're unfamiliar with this style of scent, you'll probably need to experience it for yourself. Recently, I've been on a bit of a cold streak with Quentin Bisch fragrances. We haven't exactly been seeing eye to eye, or nose to nose, but this one stopped that streak in it's tracks Another glowing review for this beautiful fragrance. This one earns it.

Great Smelling Aquatic Leathery Scent, but unfortunately the Performance and Longevity are abymsal. I oversprayed including on my Clothes, and the smell is non existent after a few hours. I'm not sure how others are getting Beast Mode Performance out of it. My Batch Code is very recent, and I also bought mine 110ML for £63 from Notino. It's either a Bad Batch, or me going Nose Blind to it. I recommend Issey Miyake Sel D'Issey EDP instead. It smells very similar, Performs better, is a newer Release, and is made by the same Perfumer
