Try Kenzo Power - it's a great fall scent and a little heavier than most of the others by those two houses, but still maintains that Japanese aesthetic that Kenzo and Miyake both have (it's an airy and crisp, yet diffusive floral).

+1 Kenzo Power. It is the only scent I can think of right now from either house, that seems to better suit a cooler climate, though it works well in warmer ones as well.

Kenzo Tokyo a possibility during the winter or too citrus and sharp?

+1 on all Kenzo recommendations. i'd add Kenzo Peace - http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0...AAAAAQznAw.jpg

from Miyake, i'd strongyl recommend Issey Bleue.. (terribly underrated)

Kenzo Tokyo if you prefer it lighter, Kenzo Power if you like it heavier and more spicy-floral. Jungle l'Elephant if you want to stand out though I'm not sure if you could call it a fall/winter scent.

+1 too on L'eau Dissey Bleue (I'm just as surprised it hasn't received more reviews)

Kenzo Tokyo I find works much better than Power as a winter scent. Power is my go-to "rainy day" scent. Something about it becomes magical then. Tokyo is an awesome scent for winter - just be prepared to overspray! I'm usually a four-spray guy, but Tokyo turns me into a seven-spray guy. Get the bigger bottle.

+1 for Kenzo Power.

Also +1 for Kenzo Jungle l'Elephant in uniqueness, but I personally can't stand it.

I only recently took a look at the reviews on L' Eau Bleu d' Issey. I noticed how someone compared it to New West and got interested. Even till the moment i sprayed it on me I thaught it was just a flanker for L'Ed'I.
It isn't!!!!
The opening reminds very much of Tokyo, mandarin and orange peal, with some rosemary. Then resins and cypress. It is amazing. Extremely underated and totally doomed by the promotional tactics. They put it in a bottle that looks like the bottle of L'Ed'I, they gave it a name that makes you think it is an aquatic flanker, they manage to attract people who like l'Ed'I and then they serve them something a lot stronger, warmer and probably manage to dissapoint them! No wonder very few people appreciate it and even fewer buy it.
To make a long story short, I baught immediately and I think it is going to be one of my favourite fall 2009 scents.

So it sounds like a pretty solid consensus feels either Kenzo Jungle or Issey Miayke Bleue would fit

Ummm, if you tally the recommendations, I think Kenzo Power would be the first for Kenzo. Also, the Jungle that is mentioned is not the Jungle pour Homme, but Jungle l'Elephant. They smell different.
