I'm sure I've smelled most of their lineup and though some perfumes were not exactly my cup of tea (Flower, Kenzo PH), they've all been consistently very, very good! I adore Jungle PH and am now wondering what is it that's been stopping me from buying a bottle all these (10!) years. Weird, I know. Happy hunting over the w/e! :) Funny you should say that as I was just thinking the same thing: honestly, I don't know that they have released a single dud, feminine or masculine.

Kenzo reliably does a nice job, don't they? I like Kenzo. I'll have to see if I can find it this weekend. Kenzo reliably does a nice job, don't they? I like Kenzo.

Another thing is that it isn't a sillage-monster as the regular but it isn't exactly soft since the benzoin does have some smoky sharpness to it. Six hours in and it's quiet and comforting, but I still get no incense :( FWIW, it's beautifully done. I'm now very curious to hear your impressions!

Was happy until you said it was sweeter, and reminded you of AS. Now I can't decide. I'll just have to go smell it, won't I? But I thank you for being so long-winded — great description.

And do agree everyone needs an easy fluffly scent! Hey, you could layer it w/ Avignon too, I'd bet. And do agree everyone needs an easy fluffly scent!

Strangely, it opens like the regular Flower or perhaps the Oriental (incense), and stays like that for the first half hour, powdery musky violet. It is only 30 minutes in that I recognize the skeleton and contours of Kenzo Amour, after which the benzoin kicks in. This is pretty much a benzoin-heavy scent, in a good way though, and if you're a fan of benzoin, you won't be disappointed. Le Parfum is considerably calmer and darker than the regular KA. It is also sweeter, but its sweetness is of the burnt amber/benzoin variety, so much so that at one point it reminded me of Ambre Sultan! Also, its deep dry down isn't nearly as musky as the original (which can sometimes get a bit screechy). Sorry to report that I could make out the incense only on the strip, where the perfume is comparatively sharper and more benzoin-y. Hope you get more of it! :) And um, sorry for being so long-winded... Hey R, I tried KA Le Parfum today!

LOL! have been smelling a scent strip all afternoon now... I will give it at try on skin, tough, because sometimes it's just soooo nice to wear something simple-easy-fluffy-pink-vanilla, right?
