Kenzo Power Cologne Kenzo for men

I love it. It is one of masterpieces. It is so different from other men fragrances which I know. I love citrusy/cedar/vetiver/balmy notes but I also could smell cardamom, geranium, lavender, pepper and coriander as well. I could name this fragrance as very spicy in a good, balmy, powdery way.

happiness is like kenzo power : you can't give it away without getting a little on yourself.

Comparing to the original version, I prefer this one.
It's fresher and more masculine.
It opens nicer and neater than toilette one and floral pattern is smoother.
If it opens citric, it's one the strangest citric openings I've ever faced. It's more herbal than citric. Also it's something I can't call modern or classic. It's modern but some clues from classics blaze radiantly; its waxy resinous style that appears in dry out.
It's fresh but not a routine freshening stuff most people welcome. It need a mastered nose to choose it as signature, I can't although I'm crazy about.
Unfortunately, my girl friend cannot stand this scent and since I'm a good boy I get it but use it when I'm alone!!!

I hated the original EdT for that "old-woman" smell, and found a glimmer of hope on Power Cologne. But when I finally sampled it - oh my, was I wrong!

It is fresher, yes. But not entirely different. This is the Original Power stripped off of all its creamy sweetness - KPC is a bare, dry, pungent floral. Maybe it's a skin chemistry thing, but it really smelled like stale flowers on me until the end; no zesty citrus at all! Even the candy-like citrus I found in the opening of the original was gone. And I also detected a body-odor note lingering somewhere...

Uhh. It seems I'll be stuck with Issey for quite longer than I expected...

This is quite a rare scent which is very hard to find which is shame since it is absolutely wonderful. It is fresh but not aquatic, rather more citrus teamed with vetiver. It lasts for a long time and is actually quite traditional in its structure. I love this and the original power.

Power Cologne has quite some resemblence with YSL L'homme - with its topnotes featuring bergamot and amalfi lemon - but is fresher, more floral and a little greener, whereas YSL is warmer, a little spicier and "creamier".
It surprises me that Power Cologne is so little popular compared to L'Homme!

Overall Power Cologne is a nice - but not really remarkable - and refreshing cologne, which is perfect for warmer days.

"Power Cologne" starts very fresh and zesty with hints of lemon, a gorgeous flowery verbena, radiances of dewy freesia and cardamom but the tolu note shows up quickly.
The verbena note in here is just sublime, hand by hand with the subtle freesia; soft floral notes in balance with "dewy candy lemony" undertones. The cardamom comes along as the necessary spiciness on the pyramid.

The heart arrives rapidly with a brand new geranium touch which is less metallic than usual, more green and floral at the same time and leans towards to a lavender note in a vintage, clasic way.
Pepper and coriander are in the background, subtle, while the geranium and the tolu blam melt together in a refined spicy and floral character.

The drydown is a mix of soft cedar, vetiver and tolu.


"Kenzo Power cologne" is a lovely version of its predecesor, a refined modern cologne, definitively more green and fresher with a different masculine floral notes than the ambery last version.
It's also brighter and clean and definitively It will be more versatile and easy to wear for much more men.

The longevity is fantastic for a cologne as still detectable after 5 hours of apply.
The projection is bigger than the original, but, also, tends to be close to skin after 3-4 hours.

Didn´t like the edt-version but this one makes me feel good. Not so feminine anymore. I was testing it with CK Free and Kenzo was much better!

i dont think the original is light; in this version, power is more aromatic, less powdery and finally versatile and easy to wear in any moment- The floral angle is lovely in relation to the ambar line.. nice, comfortable and easy to enjoy but i prefer the original enigma in power.
