Reviews of L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme (1999)
by Kenzo

not bad for somthing below 40 bucks. its like Issey meets ADG. has the breezy citrus and floral bits(more so in Issey) and that quite obvious touch of aquatic hints. wouldnt get a 2nd one tho, simply too dispensible and easily smelling identical to at least 10-15 scents that i already am using. great for display.bad buys dont always end up with full regret. overall u can can forget about longevity(if its isnt a relevant word here). sillage is weird coz it dries down to something like ADG - very cucumberish and flat, almost like they smell of the kind of soap powder fragrance that lingers on the clothes. well the large bottle was biought at 24.90 after spending 600 on a single SASA reciept, i was given 40% off any 5 products. and Kenzo's bottles has always been nice and simplistic. dont bother if u n have tried ADG and dislike it.

Lots of people mention lemons, I get oranges, with a little peel. Then it gets bitter (still sweet) over time and fainter. Its linear, does not change much. Hot days are incomplete without this.

Lemonaded perfume. Too tart and needs little sugar added but some people don't like sweetness. Either way, it's still a good scent.

On paper, and for the first few minutes on skin, this smells extremely refreshing like freshly squeezed lemon juice. No, not pure juice, rather lemon water. No rind in sight. Briefly, I wanted to own it to bathe in it on hot days. Sadly, after those few minutes all the lemon freshness is gone and it smells vaguely and faintly like some kind of perfumed sanitary product...

Gourmet Pool Chlorine.

Starts off with a really wonderful citrus accord, but somehow ends roughly (maybe it’s just me). I wish it ended just as well as it started! It’s one thing knowing how to take off…it’s another thing knowing how to land the sucker!

Really great fragrance, but it does not last long.approximately 2 hours, then you can not smell it again.

well..i love the Yuzu scent...it is delicious actually, this perfume had already in my hand just now, an hour before i write this comment, and the first time i smell it..the first time i melt on it!!

Nice frangrance but not masculine.Lemony Yuzu notes and flowers makes o good smeell but I think it is more suitable for girls.
Also not very strong.

From spraying to drydown it's steady smell is stable in my nose.
it is proved for me L'Eau Par is the only consedirable perfume by Kenzo.
it's very simple and this simplicity is not bad.
overall it was not surprise for me.

I liked it at first but now I am starting to feel that the "candy" sweet accord in the tops is sickening and cloying. I will have to do more testing.

Very tough to review for me. I like Acqua di Gio, and I like the smell of this, it's just that the citrus in here seems too strong, the whole thing is somehow out of balance. This and the hint of soapiness in here reminds me too much of dish liquid, and the somewhat low longevity makes this almost a "down"-verdict. The other reviews are overall pretty good, but I would still suggest to check out other aquatics, like maybe Sun Men by Jil Sander, there are a number of fragrances to choose from in this category.

An aquatic scent that is different from all the other aquatics which are uninspired mishmashes of various citrus and aquatic notes. L'eau par Kenzo has titrated doses of citrus, fruitiness and aquatic notes to be the best of its kind.
