Tokyo (2007)
by Kenzo

I don't know what I bought this stuff for, really. Its not terrible, its just not good either. It smells very strongly of ginger and fruit at first. A little bit of pepper, also. Ends gingery and not great. It smells muffled and kind of off for its entire duration. Laaaater Tokyo.

My new favorite fragrance. At first it was a bit overwhelming: very spicy and and herbal--as the middle tones, perhaps more like moss or pine. However, after you wear it for an hour or so, you can tell the light notes (citrusy but with herbal spice), and the best is the woodsy lower tone. This stays on all day and it smells better as the day wears on. very good for my body chemistry. Love the mix of highs and lows. Don't be put off by the inital strength of church-like smells.

I have mixed feelings about this one, though It sort of smells nice and has a unique smell to it its way to strong and busy.

Upon further review, I don't like it as much. It smells too busy, nothing stands out. It really is like Tokyo--crowded and noisy.

I like it, but I'm going neutral on this just so I don't steer somebody wrong. This scent needs to be right for you, or else it will be a waste of money. The first time I tried it, I laughed. Kenzo Air? More like Kenzo Vacuum. Like, where's the beef? But when I went back in the store with my son, to show him just how much of a joke it was, it suddenly smelled great, and I "got" it. It opens like fresh fruit, goes to something fruity/woody and very interesting, and then dies down quickly to a faint wood. And Mokkie is right - ginger is always there. I like ginger, and I could drink ginger ale all day and I not even notice it, so I think that's why the other stuff comes through very interesting and I'm not put off by ginger notes.

My recommendation is to spray skin absolutely wet with the stuff to test it, and to spray strongly on skin if you buy it. In just a couple of minutes, you're OK for a crowded elevator. But if you baby this scent onto clothing, it's gone in 60 seconds.

All i get is ginger...then ginger....then it ends with ginger...smells cheap, bottling looks cheap...it has been sitting there since day 1, used it when i go downstair for a smoke...That its purpose, no go zone. And oh, i use it when i need to "freshen" the toilet temporarily.
