Launched in 2003 by Maurice Roucel, Air by Kenzo is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that blends soft spiciness with aromatic and musky undertones. The composition opens with anis and fresh spicy notes that create a crisp yet warm atmosphere, before settling into a woody base layered with earthy and sweet elements. This scent embodies the quiet confidence of Kenzo's distinctive style — elegant and restrained, with a subtle complexity.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points. The aromatic top notes are bright but brief, so allow it time to settle into its woody base for a longer-lasting effect. It pairs well with cooler evenings or indoor settings.

“I compose for the skin, not the blotter. A fragrance only truly exists when it meets warmth.”
Maurice Roucel is a master perfumer at Symrise whose prolific career spans five decades and hundreds of fragrances. Born in Saint-Girons in the French Pyrenees, he is celebrated for his ability to create scents of extraordinary sensuality — compositions that caress the skin and linger in memory. His masterpieces include Guerlain's Insolence, Lancôme's Trésor Midnight, and the landmark 24 Faubourg for Hermès. Roucel works with an almost musical sensibility, building fragrances in waves of tension and release.
