Kenzo World Eau de Toilette

Kenzo World Eau de Toilette is the new beautiful, soft, feminine fragrance from Kenzo.

Created for an inspired by a woman who does not take herself seriously it offers a radiant freshness and lightness in comparison to its predecessor.

Described as a fruity floral, the fragrance mixes genres and punctuates its floral boutique with sweet, fruity accents to create a beautifully soft and luminous scent that lifts the spirit.

Housed within the same iconic and eye catching bottle as the original, Kenzo World EDT reflects the delicate nectar within with its powder pink cap and bottle.

The gommato cap has been inspired by the Kalifornia bags and the pink gold drop bead evokes their eye of jewellery collection. Like a metaphor of the eye, the Kenzo World bottle expresses the many facets of the Kenzo woman.

Soft curves of the eye contrast with the strong ridged lines of the cap to hint at the different elements captured within.

“Kenzo World eau de toilette is a positive energy, a modern view of a feminine fragrance” says perfumer Maïa Lernout.

The mischievous and joyful scent opens with top notes of fruity, sparkling pear before heart notes of luminous peony and gentle almond blossom soften its freshness with a beautiful floral bouquet.

Feminine and powdery Orris rounds off the scent leaving a fragrance that it both bold and yet soft and delicate.

It is a gorgeous, light-hearted scent and I am addicted to its powdery elements which comfort and wrap you in a warm hug!

The fruity and floral elements are present in equal measure with neither overpowering the other, working together in harmony to leave a truly joyful scent.

If you like gourmand, fruity scents its possesses just enough to keep you satisfied yet equally if you prefer florals you won’t be disappointed either.

Kenzo World EDT is available now and costs £55 for 50ml.

Kenzo World

Kenzo World is one of the most stunning and surprising scents I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter.

Everything about this fragrance exudes an original uniqueness, from the fabulous bottle design, to the intoxicating and addictive scent within.

The bottle design is an extension of Kenzo’s Collection which features the all-seeing eye, alluding to the force of the ‘third eye’ and spiritual protection coming from above.

Shaped (as you would therefore expect) resembling an eye, the Kenzo World bottle features a beautifully smooth glass base which reveals the baby blue perfume within.

A half moon dip within the bottle provides the perfect backdrop for the rose gold pearl which delicately hangs from the top of the bottle.

The hard, ribbed lid provides a stark contrast to the soft fluidity of the rest of the bottle, providing an indication of the contrast between the floral femininity and the boldness of the scent inside.

The scent itself, while described as being floral, is in my opinion, quite oriental and yet sweet too. 

It’s a complex scent that leaves you craving more.

Top notes of Eqyptian Jasmine and peony offer a soft floral experience before heart notes of plum and raspberry help to sweeten the nectar.

Patchouli and Ambroxan crystals round off the fragrance leaving a soft yet sweet, delicately floral yet ever so musky fragrance that is distinctive, feminine and undeniably beautiful.

It really is quite an unusual scent and one I didn’t expect to love quite as much as I did.

Despite its uniqueness I really feel that it would appeal to a wide range of women.

It possesses so many lovely qualities; soft florals, delicate sweetness and a light muskiness, that’s its hard not to find something in it that you love.

Kenzo World is available now from The Perfume Shop and costs £63 for 50ml.
