Kenzo Vintage Edition Kenzo for women and men

an affectionate and incredible fragrance... of the type of extract that they usually take you there are the memorable memories of your past. Warm, clean, sensual and sexy... Peace by kenzo is of these perfumes that he is worth while finishing and keeping the bottle. like memories of these real moments!

Kenzo PEACE VINTAGE is primarily a clean musk composition. The musk really does dominate, but it is light and limpid rather than dark and skanky. There is a sort of sweet-soapy quality to this creation, as self-contradictory as that might at first seem. Although I am reminded a bit of cherry blossom or osmanthus, I believe that the effect in this case is caused by the give and take between the heliotrope and the woods, on the one side, and the vanilla and tonka, on the other.

Still, because all of the non-musk components are so gentle, PEACE seems to me in some ways more like a base or an aromatherapeutic scent than a full-fledged perfume. I'm fairly optimistic that PEACE will blend well with other creations, so I'm going to trying mixing this with CdG ZAGORSK, which to my nose (or on my skin...) has the opposite problem: nearly all incense, virtually no moderating base...

Kenzo Vintage arrived today, so hoping it be exceptionally good. As Kenzo is one of my fav's for perfume.
It is nice, but nothing I have not smelt before. Is just like Marc Jacobs Ivy, we'll have to see which lasts longer as Marc Jacobs does not last at all, and Mariah Carey M (purple) runs rings around this for longevity, they all smell similar, except M has way more vanilla and is sweeter. I love them all...lol
Alas, my Kenzo Peace (Vintage) brings serenity for one hour, is fleeting and then disappears. Still a lovely scent, but gone way too fast, makes for expensive application, buy M and you will be surprised.... it lasts....x

Update:
It does wear off quickly. It seems like it does its best on my neck by my hair line. I still love the smell, but it does go on strong and then fade. I much prefer something that goes on a firm neutral and stays a firm neutral though out the day. Normally I wear parfum which of course lasts. oh well... I'll still wear it.

YUMMMMM,

I bought this today, and I do love it. The smell is almost perfect. Has some great spice when on my neck and in my hair. It could be a little spicier on my wrist but I think I am the only one who has smelled it so far that thinks that. On me the cedar really comes out to play but it keeps its heliotrope and tonka bean sweet creaminess. Really woody and grounded. I sprayed twice on my neck once today, and rubbed my wrists on my neck.
It has lasted all day and into the night. It is not over powering and does not overwhelm but stays true to its sent and randomly puffs off my skin and into the air. Each time it does that I stop and ask myself "Whats that beautiful smell?" and then get excited its me my new Kenzo Peace!

Before owning any Kenzo scents this one was my 'must-have'...a unisex oriental woody!! Then, I found it was a limited edition :-(, and I'd missed it...Now though, thanks to two wonderful members- one who sent it when I showed interest in it-and one who surprised me with it, I have two generous samples!! And I absolutely love it...

This could be called linear by some, as it does not really 'evolve' much, but it does have the perfect blend of freshness(from the mandarin), sweetness (tonka and heliotrope) and a dark, slightly smoky woodiness (vanilla, musk and cedar). I can honestly say to the member who said it is good for walking in the sun: You were right! I took my 3ml sample and applied it gingerly (not having a lot), but could not really 'feel' it; so I doused on more (nearly half the sample!) and got a pleasant soft, smooth wood-sweet light incense aroma, nice! Then, while walking my two dogs in the forest, (under full October sun) this came alive...The mandarin adds to the sweet smoothness but is not a major player, the cedar (when warmed) is so very elegant, and the drydown was what I was looking for:-). A subtly sweet, smooth & powdery floral musk with a incensy feel-with just enough wood; nowhere near the heavy hippy vibe the box made me os-magine. This is more a scent for hippies of the naughties-subtle, understated and ever so slightly mysterious...

Sillage: very close, but intruiging
Longevity: good
Overall: 4.25/5

The massive smells of the hippy era (Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musky ambers) may have faded in popularity; but, if you want something vaguely incensy, subtly sweet with a lovely floral woody aura...this is your scent. It is perfect for guys who want something rich, elegant and subtle; or for the woman who wants something besides a floral explosion crossed with a fruit salad. This blends well the smooth floralcy of heliotrope with the richness of woods and some oriental notes, yet keeps it light and fresh with a very subtle cirus accent. Well done, Kenzo!!

A beautiful fragrance. It reminds me CSP's Musc Alize

Isn't full name of this perfume Kenzo Peace vintage edition?

However, I simply love it. It reminds me on CK: Be. It is unisex, light, fresh, good for office, good for walking on sun, good!

A heavenly heliotrope perfume, heavy on the musk with a creamy, masculine edge.

The scent inside is clean & white - a simple, subtle scent with a wonderfully spicy "fog". Woodsy & dry - the cedar plays King to the Heliotrope Queen, with only a whisper of vanilla.

Akin to Kenzo Power, it draws similarities from other great heliotrope scents with the powder suped-up & the sugar turned down low. Less sweet than MyQueen & without the violets, less thick than Teint de Neige, with a similar creamy-powdery-musk to Amour & Kenzoki Rice Steam. It reminds me most definitely of the last gasps of Bvlgari Black....infact, to me it is a "white" version!

Definitely has masculine qualities, but very wearable by women...one to steal from your lover. Another Kenzo through & through.

Kenzo Vintage is light and powdery scent. Unisex definitely. Simple and comforting. Like a glass of warm milk and cookies before bedtime. Like a gentle blanket after snow storm.
Similar to Kenzo Power.

The very first time I tried Kenzo Vintage was on a blotter. Just made me think about old smelly hippies. Did not like it at all. Then I sprayed a little amount on my hand. Vanished in 20min and the smell was´t attractive to me.
But I still was intrigued by this fragrance. So, yesterday I bought a bottle to me.
I´m using it today (in a large amount all over my body).
The smell is SO different. I can smell musk and woods, and I still think of hippies, but they are not smelly anymore. Reminds me a little of old drugstore "Wild Musk" from Coty, but in a way better form.
Still don´t know about it lasting.... later I´ll write about it.

Updating (JUL072010):
I used it with Wild Musk (oil perfum) and sprayed A LOT. Applied at 9am. 10 hours later I can still smell it, if I sniff my arms. Pure patchouli and musk. I dont smell vanilla or anything flowery.

This also has Annick Menardo written all over it.

it is unisex...

and this is fantastic and perfect and the perfume I wear when I want to please myself. It makes me feel confident and on top of the world! Brilliant staying power!

A very comforting fragrance. It`s like milk with herbs...I keep smelling sandalwood, sage and ginger in it, along with heliotrope!I actually think that this scent is more suitable for representing Hippy Era instead of the bold sensuality of patchouli.I wore it today all day and it has a decent staying power on me.
I don`t seem to find the right word for it. It`s....liberating!!!!!

Oh how I adore this bottle. This is the perfect powdery scent on me. I get tonka bean, vanilla and helitrope. Warm and beautiful. Could wear this scent everyday. I love it!
Yes Milky is a great description...

I boutht the 100ml and am avoiding it. The musk nauseates me and on me I can smell it quite soon, and stays all day.
I can´t smell the mandarin orange at all.

I tried this one at a parfum shop, sprayed at my hand. It´s definately a NO to me: at first, reminded me of cheap male deodorant and the musk is annoying and very evident after 3 hours.

Very original, I don't know any similar perfume, on my skin it's spicy and a litlle milky.
Next fantastic fragrance from Kenzo, I'm waiting for their next impatiently.

I totally agree with chocolateguy's opinion! You spray the fragrance and start wondering... "hey, fragrance... where are you?!"

On me, it seems too feminin. It can' be unisex. Light, too light. Too simple. I gives me nothing when wearing. A huge disappointment!

After sampling once my conclusion was that it's too masculine for my taste. A very soft, fleeting sandalwood is what my skin pulled the most, but it wasn't special enough for me to ignore the fact this would smell better on a man. For a woody feminine perfume, I prefer Trish by Trish Mcevoy.

I love this stuff! It's definitely unisex - not too feminine or too masculine - it's right on the border, perfect. I find it to be very warm and comforting and it reminds me a little of My Queen by Alexander McQueen. I don't get any citrus from this at all. I mainly smell the cedar and musk with maybe a tiny bit of vanilla. Very nice! Good for summer, great for winter.

this reminds me of my first perfume from many years ago... gap om. it was discontinued but this smells so similar. reminds me of simpler days :)

lol, I thought it was an unisex.
I like it, it's soft and sensual and somewhat milky.
on me very similar to Bvlgari Black.

I love the bottle and the box but the fragrance is just average.
