I might have to try Indigo Pour Homme after I get finished with my Monday Mail recommendations
It’s LE, so you might not want to wait too long! Although don’t know if these are anywhere in the US (or if they’re even coming).
I was just thinking that… There are so many masculines that would fit your brief that are only on the very edge of my radar, though not some of the other contributors, happily!
I love L’Eau par Kenzo Pour Homme. LOVE it. I dunno… if a flanker would like… work… Lol.
Worth a shot, if you see a tester I guess!
Noa Dream it’s bizzare. I like the promise of black pepper and jasmine sambac, but there is a cursed word in the combination: peach.
Perhaps the peach will be light?
No idea how the scents are, but I swear I want to frame some of Kenzo’s packaging (boxes) into frames and display them.
Agree — they really do such a great job. Those are great boxes.
Dear Robin, I can report that I have tried the Kenzos here in Buenos Aires.
They are inoffensive enough, not nearly as lovely (for me) as the original eau.
The women’s seems nicer, very rounded IMHO, and the men’s smells a little anise-y to me, but soft. Think of it as the lovechild of l’eau par kenzo pour homme and Kenzo Air.
Anise is not one of my favorite notes in a perfume, but it is not too upfront.
Haven´t seen the Noas yet…
Oh And I’ve got the chance to smell kenzo Power at the duty free shop on my vacation, and I thought it was not-to-powerful too.
Perhaps I’m missing the subtleties on the latest kenzo releases?
Hey, that sounds nice! I love Kenzo Air, & I love anise. Wonder if these will make it to the US though…
Hope the peach will be light. By the way, is there a natural peach essence (oil, extract, etc)? I doubt it, but I’m perhaps ignorant.
Kenzo Power is hiding some inner energy, revealing the sensuality of a man in a special way.
There’s no such thing as a natural peach essence: the scent is created synthetically through such aldehydes as C-14. This isn’t a bad thing: lots of scents such as lily of the valley and lilac can’t be derived–at least not in a realistic and natural-smelling way–from the plants which produce them, and have to be created.
OH MY WOW! the L’Eau Par Kenzo Indigo Pour Homme sounds SUBLIME! I absolutely, I MEAN ABSOLUTELY LOVE the original Pour Homme… this sounds SO PROMISING! the Noa Sounds Delicious as well, Anything with Jasmin Sambac and Peach in it CAN’T Smell Bad! And Noa is one of the best fragrances that isn’t well known out there! Yuzu, Litchi, Sandalwood and Patchouli Also… Sounds Delicious! But MUST OWN EAU INDIGO! LOL!
Then hope you’ll find a bottle! I hope they’re coming to the US…
SO DO I!
Magically Delicious!
There’s something about the men’s Eau Indigo that’s so incredibly, insanely drop-dead SEXY that I couldn’t stop sniffing my hand throughout the day! As lovely as the original was, this one smells so much more substantial and, well, masculine. I thought it a cross between KenzoAir and Prada’s Infusion d’Iris Pour Homme.
Hey, that sounds wonderful — hope I run across it.
as a huge fan of both original L’Eaux par’s, i’m looking forward to both.
Hope you’ll like them!
