World Intense
Kenzo World Intense Eau de Parfum 75ml is ripe fruit pressed against flowers and vanilla. Plum gives it a dark, juicy sweetness, peony cools that down with a rosy freshness, jasmine fills it out with a creamy white floral weight, and vanilla settles everything into something soft and powdery. It is sweet without being sticky, and the fruit stays dark rather than candied.
Plum, peony, jasmine and vanilla are what it is built from, and they hold together rather than arriving in turn. The fruity and vanilla accords lead, the floral and rose facets sit just under them, and the powdery finish is what keeps the sweetness from turning sticky. The rose facet gives the floral part a cooler, drier edge than the jasmine alone would allow, and a freshness runs over the top of the whole thing.
Francis Kurkdjian and Maïa Lernout composed it for Kenzo in 2017. Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, who had moved to the city in 1964; the house added fragrance in 1988 and is now part of LVMH.
It is long lasting with strong projection. It wears well in spring and holds up through winter, summer and autumn too, and it moves easily from casual daytime to a night out and on to professional wear.
