L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme

Kenzo · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1999

≈ $45 · 100ml · approx. retail

A crisp, watery citrus that opens with zesty yuzu and lemon sharpened by a green-pepper bite before settling into cool aquatic and mint accords. The drydown stays light and transparent on a soft musk-and-cedar base, making it an airy warm-weather staple rather than a heavy statement scent.
