Kenzo Homme eau de parfum review by award-winning perfume critic Persolaise, 2022

It can be done. If you were to look at most mainstream brands, you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s a law that says all masculine scents must be the same: faux-citrus openings followed by crass, gag-inducing woods and boorish, pseudo-patchouli drydowns. Generic manspreaders that do little to challenge the stereotype of men as aggressive louts. But every now and then, someone dares to be different. For the new eau de parfum version of Kenzo Homme, Quentin Bisch has toned down the chest-pumping and presented the leathery-patchouli heart in a relatively more restrained manner. Don’t get too excited: this isn’t some benevolent, meditating Buddha. But at least it makes an effort to head in the direction of less argumentative territories. The woods aren’t quite as spiky and jagged as in other comparable releases. The spiciness (cardamom and nutmeg) adds a sense that something more meaningful hides beneath the facade. And even the marine note doesn’t conjure depressing visions of the deodorant aisle at Tesco. In short, it is a welcome addition to what tends to be a gloomily depressing field. And other brands would do well to learn from it.
