About this deal

The series of Kenzo World and its flanker fragrances has managed to bypass that by offering a very distinct visual presentation, literally "seeing you" in the sense of Lacan's "the mirror" concept. It's an interesting concept for all perfumes, because what is an artificial smell but an effort to transport images and feelings that we, as bipods, transpose to vision rather than more primal senses? Most fragrances heavily rely on visionary cues, from the perfume bottle design to the color schemes chosen (more on which in John Biebel's articles), right down to the advertising images that accompany their launch.

Kenzo World Eau de Toilette came out in January 2018, after the original Kenzo World from 2016 and Kenzo World Intense from 2017 but I'm putting it right under the original creation for reasons of compact reading: first the eau de parfum, then the eau de toilette version. For the Intense version, which came right between the original eau de parfum and the eau de toilette, as noted above, the brand came upon something which has retained a huge customer base in later years, namely the combination of an old "key note", that of plum (emphasized in classical fruity chypres due to the famous Prunol base), but aerated with modern aroma synthetics such as ambroxan and lots of vanillin. The result is a bit incongruous, as if a musky-woody is in drag: the sweeter elements overtake soon and there are no flowers to be smelled close by (not that there were much in the original, just saying).

The bottle, once again, takes the form of the iconic Kenzo eye but gains a new cheerful summery look, The cap is of a softy translucent finish. The body of World Power though is centred on vanilla, or rather the interplay of vanilla and tonka bean. The former is sweet, spicy, creamy and rich, while the latter has nuances of hay, marzipan and bitterness. Together these notes create a soft, enveloping warmth that is starkly contrasted by the airy, mineral quality of the sea salt crystals. Together, these accords create a unique fragrance that is both heavy and light, warm and cold, edible and not. It’s truly fascinating to wear. The title made me hesitate - I hardly correspond to the image of a patent power woman - although I spent my youth in the " Powerland " speak Sauerland.

The author behind this haunting fragrance is Jérôme Di Marino. Sweeten Your Day It's interesting that we come at the end with a scent that without deviating too much from the clean and abstract original, manages to smell odd and salty-sweet without claiming neither office, nor gym proclivities. It's quite a big presence in terms of sillage and lasting, well, power.KENZO World Power is an unconventional fragrance. It does not follow the rules and exists outside traditional olfactory families and gender lines (a man could easily wear this). It straddles the aquatic, oriental and floral genres, leaving one guessing as to what it is. Yes, it’s vanilla but airy – and yes, it’s evocative of saltwater, but it is not marine. So what is it? Well, it’s World Power, that’s what – a unique olfactory experience that is as bold and intriguing as any piece of KENZO streetwear.

Kenzo Fragrance Price UK Making a collection of fragrances to follow one another is a hard riddle, a puzzle that comes almost immediately with the concept of a pillar fragrance. Companies trademark the names for the flankers as soon as they do for the main fragrance to be launched. This presents its own little problems.

Already the first spray wipes my concerns aside, because Power develops a very subtle " power " - namely a very distinctive attraction. The key note of the fragrance is Ambroxan: "Ambroxan gives the flowers the enticing quality that we need to forget them as such. It's a bit like the sfumato in the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, when you juxtapose power. It acts like the fog, when the mist blurs the contours of things all around, and we only recognize their hazy outline."

They are a house that creates contemporary streetwear that fuses the worlds of Paris and Tokyo. KENZO is unique, and unlike many luxury brands, it is relatively accessible, maintaining its level of desirability for the modern generation.
