Kenzo pour Homme (1991)
by Kenzo

I m wearing it right now,to be totally objective.It is balancing between perfumes
and dish cleaners(like was said).I would never buy it again,there are loads of better scents to spend your money to.Its a rare view about aquatic scents
its is salty not really fresh but it is absolutely aquatic cause its like smelling the sea,probably fishermen will love it,to me its not so bad to make me sick but I believe that it can make some people sick! I know perfumes were made to smell
pleasant this one is not! and last very little (that's nice)
concluding I think its a cheap unpleasant scent.

a nice salty marine scent, with a hint of sweetness in the drydown, i originally give it to my brother but later took it back because i like it so much. spicy but not in an overpowering way. lovely for the summer, close your eyes and smell the ocean breeze...

Good marine experience. No for all people, but personally I like it because this fragance have character. In general marines or fresh fragances doesnt have character. Thats why I like it....maybe is a little bit strange or weird smell, but is very nice and unique

A woeful watery green smelling aquatic that comes across as bleakfully fresh as a sink full of ready to be used dishwater.

I don't like the aquatics in general. In my opinion they are all a bit artificial. They are certainly not sexy, and I feel strange when I wear them.

As of this writing, my favorite aquatic.
And not coincidentally, the only one I've found so far that does not pretend ocean water smells like laundry-chemical fresh. Kenzo PH manages to smell great and be very compelling without shying away from a little salty, iodine-laden seaside funk dumped out of a beach pail (dynamicddanny was absolutely right about this plastic-y vibe), overall a very interesting and surprisingly wearable juxtaposition of the synthetic and the natural that casts a very large shadow even now. This even has real oakmoss - [i]Evernia prunastri[/i] - according to the ingredients, along with some jasmine flowers, conifers and herbs. Revealing pieces of itself it remains as mysterious as Mitsouko throughout, and I would suggest that maybe - just maybe - this did for aquatics what Mitsouko did for chypres.

A rare and wonderful scent that approaches the summit of "fresh and clean" from an unabashedly funkier side of the fragrance mountain. As such, definitely not a blind buy but well worth it for established aquatic lovers looking for something different and older that's better but still undeniably an aquatic.
