The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Kenzo Homme Santal Marin, launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of nature with a modern twist. The top notes of Sea Notes introduce an immediate freshness, while Lavender adds a soft floral touch to the heart. The base notes of Sandalwood and Guaiac Wood bring warmth and depth, creating a bold and captivating scent. This composition is inspired by Kenzo's distinctive blend of traditional Japanese lines with influences from nature and multi-culturalism.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced wear. The marine top note is bright but fleeting, so rely on the warm base notes of sandalwood and guaiac wood to carry the fragrance throughout the day.
