Time For Peace Kenzo for men

Having recently become the proud owner of bottle no. 16,693 from a total run apparently of 200,000 bottles worldwide, I can tell you this scent is one of Kenzo's very best for men. Any of its top notes are fleeting and insignificant, before it moves into a beautifully smooth, rich and elegant nutty accord which is highly reminiscent of the smell of a premium quality rice wine. At this point it smells very close to the cool and spicy L’eau de ST Dupont Pour Homme but with much higher quality ingredients. It eventually dries down to a wonderful and long lasting vetiver base that is quite similar to that of Kenzoair. Beautiful, calming and elegant are the three words that I think best summarize this amazing fragrance. Strangely, I always find myself being pulled towards it in my fragrance wardrobe but usually resist the temptation with great difficulty as I want to treasure this hard-to-find gem for a long long time :))

In my humble opinion the carton is too plain. However, I love the simple elegance of the bottle which also holds a scroll of paper in its base with an uplifting message inscribed in multiple languages.

Was one of the lucky few who received a bottle upon its release. I love the little roll of paper containing some text, slipped into the circular space at the base of the bottle. The fragrance is clean and refined, the way I would expect a man in his 40s with a small but significant art collection and an air of quiet authority to smell. The first crisp notes are quite unisex, but the scent develops into something warm and unmistakeably masculine, especially in hot weather. I'm a woman but I wear this at home, and to sleep. The name suits it perfectly.

emotional but very delicate, sweet a little bit but it doesn't spoil this soft fougere fragrance. "time for peace" - this is a really good name for this perfume and matchs perfect to the content... really peaceful, really nice!.. sad that it's difficult find now
