Give in to the freshness of the ocean breeze – just like the perfumer who created a fragrance in its likeness. The composition of the Kenzo Homme Intense Eau de Toilette for men is at the same time harmonious and full of contrasts, but most of all perfectly timeless.

Composition of the fragrance
The first notes include refreshing pink pepper accompanied by a lovely oceanic accord. The warm aroma of vetiver and fig wood then provide a contrast to the initial fresh impression, evoking the feeling of sea salt on sun-kissed skin. Finally, Akigala wood and sandalwood make the fragrance absolutely flawless.

Story of the fragrance
The very first Kenzo fragrance for men was designed back in 1991 and is still beloved by men all over the world. Kenzo Homme Intense which came out in 2021 is already becoming a classic just like its timeless predecessor – plus it comes in a unique bottle, just like many other Kenzo perfumes.

The flacon is shaped like a strong and flexible bamboo stick, and the cap simulates a cut with a katana – the sword used by samurais. Another unique feature is the fact that the cap contains 34% less plastic and the body is made of 10% recycled glass – Kenzo’s contribution to a more beautiful world.

About the brand KENZO

KENZO Parfums was created by a visionary creator from Japan, Kenzo Takada. He arrived in Paris driven by a bold dream: to create a brand where Eastern sensibility and Western creativity could exist in perfect harmony. Guided by his belief in openness, colour, and freedom, he sought to express a unique vision of beauty through fashion and fragrance, inspired by the world around him.

Continuing this vision today, KENZO Parfums collaborates with inspiring ambassadors who share its commitment to a more beautiful world. Masami Charlotte Lavault, an activist flower grower, embodies the spirit of Flower by Kenzo, while the Coral Gardeners — dedicated protectors of marine ecosystems — represent the values behind L’Eau Kenzo. Together, they bring purpose, engagement, and authenticity to the brand’s enduring message of beauty and respect for nature.

“For a more beautiful world” is more than a motto — it is the heart of the brand’s philosophy. For Kenzo, every fragrance was a tribute to nature, drawing inspiration from powerful symbols such as the poppy, water, and bamboo. These elements gave rise to signature creations including Flower by Kenzo, L’Eau Kenzo, and Kenzo Homme, each reflecting a poetic connection between humanity and the natural world.
