About This Perfume
Think zesty lemon and yuzu, crisp green mint: that is Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme. It opens with yuzu, lemon and green pepper, moves into lotus and mint and settles on white musk and cedar. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 1999.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and aquatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $58.
