Rank fragrances from the house of Kenzo

Hey guys, I get the feeling I'm in the vast minority here, but I really like Kenzo fragrances. I reckon they are always at worst very unique and interesting and at best addictive and challenging. And also very affordable I might add, unlike the Creeds of this world. They also have great perfumiers creating fragrances for them, Olivier Polge, Olivier Cresp, Francois Demachy etc. I wonder if any of you would be kind enough to rank the fragrances in order of preference. Here's mine

Kenzo PH
L'Eau Par Kenzo
Kenzo Homme Boisee
Kenzo Power Cologne
Kenzo Sport

There's also Jungle pour Homme, which I really like. It has a limey, nutty, tropical vibe to it.

I actually haven't tried Kenzo Jungle - is it predominantly citrusy, woody, floral or spicy? I like the limey nutty description above. Intrigued.

I've tried Pour Homme, Toyko, Boisee, and Jungle. Pour Homme and Jungle are both bottle worthy and solid fragrances. Toyko and Boisee were average at best.

Kenzo PH is my favourite, followed very closely by
Once Upon A Time PH.

L'eau Par Kenzo is great, but it only lasts about 3 hours on me.
L'eau Par Kenzo Indigo grabbed me too.
Kenzo Jungle PH I really like, but it only lasts about two hours on me.
Kenzo Tokyo I quite liked, but it too doesn't last long enough on me, only being good for three hours or so.

Kenzo Air didn't grab me, nor did most of the Kenzo PH flankers (Sport, Boisee, Fresh)
Regards,
Renato

Like Jungle pH and L'Elephant, pour Homme, Power and P. Cologne.

Have not smelled any rank ones by this company yet (though Flower didn't particularly impress me when I tried it).

Jungle pH is predominantly spicy with a citrus opening.

Kenzo Pour Homme- 2/10 Really weird plastic type smell
Kenzo L'eau par Kenzo- 7.5 Quite nice refreshing lemon scent
Kenzo L'eau par Kenzo Indigo- 8/10 Another lemony scent that I enjoy, especially the opening
Kenzo Boisee- 8/10 A unique woodsy scent that needs more love.

Indeed I did. But I was amused. And, to be fair, my initial phrasing was poor.

Thanks for all the opinions gentlemen. However, it is pretty inconclusive to find a favourite, which I guess says something about different noses liking different things and Kenzo fragrances dividing opinion. Wish I had arranged a proper poll now...oh well.

Out of what I've had/own:



1. Kenzo Air
2. Once Upon A Time
3. L'eau Par Kenzo Indigo
4. Kenzo Power
5. Kenzo Pour Homme Fraiche
6. L'eau Par Kenzo
7. Woody
8. L'eau Par Kenzo Wild Edition
9. Kenzo Pour Homme
10. Kenzo Pour Homme Sport
11. Kenzo Air Intense
12. Tokyo



Thing is, I really really like Tokyo but it appears to vaporise into nothingness way too quickly.

Once Upon A Time is amazing for the price it can be had for, and is definitely the most pronounced scent out of all the Kenzo one's I've had. As for Air, I despair that the decision to axe it..

L'Eau Par and Power are the only two that suit me. Wouldn't turn down a bottle of Pour Homme, I guess. I'm just not a big aquatic fan, but it's a classic.
