Tokyo. Kenzo

Perfumist: Marie Salamagne.

Notes of lemon, ginger root, blood orange, shiso leaves, mate, clove, nutmeg, green tea, pink pepper, guaiac, cedar.

Probably another ( hopefully) successful launch of the Japanese designer, but I have my formal doubst about it.

It has been created for the young crowd.

The aroma has been inspired by images and the cool vibe of a busy colourful night in the Japanese metropolis.
The result is kind of electric I must say, fruity and slightly peppery.

The ginger root is here the main key, the center of the attention, while the rest of the notes stays in the background, as the juice develops.

Tokyo starts gorgeous and zesty; There’s a explosion of citrus while the ginger reveals itself fiery and dewy accompanied with the sisho leaves.
This is my favourite part of the whole perfume.

The rest for me, loose credibility and interest.
After a little while the fragrance loses power and it gets close to skin scent, the projection turns minimal and "Tokyo" remains in your skin a delicate nice halo of ginger, herbal peppery and powdery tea with strokes of guaiac wood.

Not bad.
Tokyo is an interesting fragrance, but if it would keep the original fireworks from the top notes I would love it infinitely.

It’s a fact that Japanese community enjoy subtle perfumes.
I do like the perfume but, also, I do prefer shout out fragrances. It’s part of the mistery and the seduction.
The long lasting is acceptable.

I enjoy wearing the perfume but it is becoming one of those ones that I keep sniffing trying to recall the initial explode. Then nothing.

I can’t wait for the new Kenzo’s release. This one made me fell (sadly), neutral.
