Kenzo Air Kenzo for men

I really love this one on my boyfriend, it smells warm, confident and sexy ! for me, it's one of the best masculine fragrances out there.

After many reviews, of good and bad this fragrance is, also on the bottle design, some love it, some hate it... I bought one anyway.

The fragrance opens with soft anise-caraway accord tamed by the woody notes, and it lingers in such a nice way. You may think this might smell spicy due to the aromatics used, but it is not!

I do find this fragrance has a moderate lasting power, with a good silage. I wonder if this has been discontinued, because I couldn't find this at any fragrance store let alone the Kenzo perfume counter.

It remembers me of anise tea, only by the purity of this note here. My grandmother love tea a lot and when she make some of this one, I just love the smell it leaves.

It is green, sweet and earthy. Could be compared with absinthe in terms of taste. It's, basically, a anise liquor.
I haven't smelled something like this so, It's probably rather unique. Quite linear.

Oh, no this is gone? I really liked this one! Vetiver can be soooo overpowering, but this was a light, airy version, with hints of smoke and only the faintest traces of anise or bergamot. Just a gorgeous almost incense-wafting-in-fresh-air fragrance. Maurice Roucel does it again!

I know it's quite late in the day, given that this is no longer produced but this was and probably remains my favourite scent to date and the one that made me interested, properly, in scent in the first place.

The strong anise note just seemed to cling and cling and was like nothing else I've smelt since.

Why, oh why, did Kenzo drop this amazing fragrance?!?!?!!

I have read somewhere that one of the ingredients is ISO E-SUPER. But it's not in the notes.
That's why someone might smell there synthetic.

Love, love, love this perfume!!! If you want something unique for the summer and not a usual fruity-sweet stuff pls try it.

If you liked and missed this fragrance, try Chopard's Noble Vetiver. Even better!!!

My husband bought this for me and then started knicking it himself. It is obviously a unisex fragrance. I love it and it smells great on him too. It has notes that I have been looking for, for along time in perfume. Clean and sophisticated and as the day progesses it is still there

Kenzo Air, its simplicity is its strength; irresistible aromatic freshness with a hint of liquorice in the background, is the scent that makes you rediscover nature that you thought you had lost, the horizon that brings you free and clear to follow a kite in the sky ... it's the air of freedom and the great outdoors ... this time Kenzo has hit the mark.
To be missed.

This is a strong scent in my opinion, with a nice vetiver drydown. Even though it's versatile enough to be used in any season, Kenzoair makes a welcome change for me from the usual aquatics in summer.

@ravjan: The blue colour inside the bottle is not that of the juice, but instead a (sneaky) blue plastic insert - I took my bottle apart (don't ask me why) - and the juice is simply a typically common yellowish colour.

Actually this is not airing or uplifting like it looks!
Like any other fragrance from Kenzo, this has some signature note from the house (this is why I love Kenzo), something like pepper or incense.
I like it, but not so sure about a purchase in future.

P.S: The bottle is a masterpiece

An underrated gem.

It happened by accident that I layered two fragrances. I was testing Encre Noir to write my final review and instead of spraying it on an unscented smelling strip, I sprayed it on a piece of paper on which I previously tested Etro's Anice.
What a suprise to smell the anisic aspect of vetiver amphasized by the real anise note. Especially in the drydown when the two perfumes blended perfectly together.

Well, I found Kenzo Air Intense / Kenzo Air to have a very similar vibe to the above scenario and despites probably not being as praised as Encre Noir, it still has a great charme. Peppery, anisic, funny. Chemical? Yes, most definitely, but very well blended. Does great in warm weather.

If you're wondering about the differencies between the "intense" version and the original, well, I haven't found a substantial one. The "intense" is exactly like the original version but a little bit stronger, that's it.

Rating: 7.5/10

One of the frags I simply cannot stand! And it's all for anise. Shame because the bottle and the colour of the juice inside are so pretty..

Fresh anise and licorice
Very masculine but very fresh as well
I think it smells like sweet/dirty air

It's feminine enough for me and I enjoy wearing it every once in a while when the weather gets warm. It is indeed light and airy and what I can smell the most are the citrus notes. What I could do without is the caraway note - I don't like it in food and it turns out that it's just as unsavory in perfume.

تقریبا شبیه بوی لالیک انسیر نویر میباشد

ولی کمی ظریفتر ولطیفتر

Almost like smell Encre Noire Lalique

But a little bit more delicate and subtle

Yay! My 3rd Kenzo is finally here. Kenzo Air is not a very strong scent. I spritz it twice on my wrist and I have a hard time smelling it, perhaps my skin is too dry.
For the scent, there is nothing fruity or floral here at all, but just woods. I only smell this wet woody vetiver with fresh cedar + licorice combo. The scent is wet and cold; like a wet forest or driftwood by the river bank or even a haystack. Somehow, I still find it fresh and quite unique. It's never too hard nor even appear to be herbal.
In my opinion, this is not a very usual fragrance, and it's a must try, especially for those who are interested in an interesting woody scent, and the blocky bottle is quite a collectible item.

am a Flight steward, i thnk every airliner will be dawn to it! coz its nice,unique, fashionablly and affordable..i always have trust with Kenzo products!

Try this on your skin and Paul Smith Story at the same time. Both are similiar. Maybe, if you add more wood, more vetiver, a "burning forest" note* and increase the power, we could have a little idea of how Lalique Encre Noire smells.

*Someone wrote "Burning forest" about Encre Noire in another forum.

I love this perfume. The smell of anise is one of my favourites. Kenzo Air is fresh and woody at the same time, with anise and vetiver together through the dry down. So different and unique that everyone should try it!

smells alot like black liquorice,instead of air. nice bottle tho.

This perfume has smell of new clothes. When the clothing store has enough of that smell ... But he did not bad in the end.

the bottle was half becouse every bottle is the same . for 100ml and 50ml the bottle is similar only when you buy a 50ml there is less perfum inside

Hey I bought this one two days ago and I noticed this morning that the bottle was half full :s I love the scent and since I got it I can´t stop spraying it on me every chance I get; but half bottle in two days it´s just impossible. Can anybody who owns this please tell me if theirs came half full too?

Yes,this scent is special,the anise...i like it!It`s light but so pleasant, so blue, so free...

I see it as an unisex and ageless scent, very fresh, light, but not cheap "blue". It has the spirit of boundlessness. I gave it to my mother who is 70 and she loves it! For myself, I prefer somewhat stronger colognes, though.

though it is a men parfume i bought it when i went to italy . at the begining i wanted to be a gift for my father.. but it ended in my drawer. lovely scent

Light, summery, fresh but somehow different from others fresh fragrances. Begins with anise and bergamot, then it changes to vetiver which reminds me this from Encre Noire Lalique except it's more sweet. Quite nice frag great for hot summer days I suppose. The bottle is as always in Kenzo a piece of art.

It is not one of my favourites, but I like it!
Why? Because it's different from the others!

This scent was made for those who need to forget preocupations, to be free from the chains, to remember the freedom of childhood...

I think Air is just a love-me-or-leave-me from the start. Many people find it weird because of the strong anise note and I loved it precisely for that. Refreshing.

i liked this fragance and it was cool at first, but then... i don't know, i just stopped liking it.

IT´S MY FRAGRANCE, I LOVE IT. THE ANIS IS SO INTENSE AT THE BEGGINING, AT THE MIDDLE IT BECAMES MORE BERGAMOTA AND AT LAST, IS LIKE SWEET-WARM-WATER FOR TEA, SO COMFORTABLY...
....
p.s.
Somebody can tell me if kenzoair was discontinued? I´m having troubles to find this here in my country. :-(

great drydown, but a little weak on the opening, made by Maurice Roucel who usually makes only great fragrances
