7:15 am in Bali (2008)
by Kenzo

Love the mystery of bodies and scents...what's orange and passionfruit on some skins is pineapple on me! Not too sweet - airy and touched by sea breezes. Get a bit of jasmine over light vanilla/tonka that lingers nicely. These impressions are from a sample that makes think 7:15 a.m.in Bali would be great for early mornings in my South Carolina summers!

"7:15 am in Bali", what a crazy name! Ah, no wonder, it's a 'travel exclusive'. This basically means it is only sold at duty free shops. Well, lucky for me my daughter went traveling and bought her perfume lovin' mama a bottle! This Kenzo is a very light edt. It wears like a body spray. Aside from that, it's a great little scent! Fruity opening, orchid floral heart and a thin vanilla drydown. Pretty much smells like a watered down Tocade ~ but less reminiscent of say, dreamsicles or childrens' medicine. 7:15 am in Bali is perfect for the beach, pool, amusement park, or anywhere else you may be sweating this summertime! I like that it's NOT LEMONY, and NOT COCONUTTY. It is breezy, light and refreshing - without smelling like a cocktail, suntan lotion, or too perfumey - it is just right!

Very interesting light scent. I think this was made for travelers and it's very, very apt for its intended use. Sweet and fruity on top and it dries down into a light and pleasantly light woody vanilla. Its lightness is to be expected from Japanese based house Kenzo. I really like it but I have Del Mar and its flankers to do the same job for me. Thumbs up nonetheless!

Yum! This fruity, sweety-desserty little thing (really, it's not major Perfume) is totally unlike me, but smelling it at Frankfurt airport immediately made me think: "Drinking an orange fruitshake with Granny!" That's about all I get: orange and vanilla, although maybe there is a little passionfruit-tang, though nothing BO-ey, as passionfruit can be. This is a very Kenzo-ey offering, but I would not say derivative, and not really like Amour at all, IMO. Very soft, like a meringue-and-custard fruit tart, and therefore comforting and fun - perfect for spring.

It’s a soft flower oriental, something like a dreamy material made of weaved milk, wood, and fruits.

"7:15 AM in Bali" claims a prolongs previous olfactory themes as “Amour”, “Summer”, etc…
Its a soft perfume suitable (aparently), for both man and female although it tends to the feminine side.
Countains a simple but appealing blend of passiofruit, jasmine, orchid, cedar and vanilla.
it start rather nostalgic with hints of the original "Kenzo Femme", soft, creamy, fruity and floral. The passionfruit in this juice is very addictive and reminded me instantly "Angel" getting ridd off the chocolate accords.
The perfume goes rather linear in the drydown when soft powdery textures comes along as a creamy wood touch, (cedar , orchid and vanilla).The scent is a shy halo, quite close to skin with no projection.

Could it be "7:15 AM in Bali" a big rival substitute of Tom Ford's "Black Orchid"?? ( a perfume designed for women but very desirable and used for men like me).
I have my doubts.

I was happy to find this and tested it right away. It starts out bright and orangey, tempered with a comfort cereal vanilla foody scent. I enjoyed it but then it turned feminine, revealing more of the milky vanilla angle. Later a masculine edge returned. The dry down isn't much different, citrusy and milky vanilla, just not as bright and crisp.

My conclusion: 2/3 Kenzo Armour, 1/3 Kenzo L'Eau for men. Maybe there is more to it, but I strongly think this is somewhat of a gimmick. Combine 2 existing products and call it unisex. It is surprisingly good though. And I like it.
