The story behind the bottle.
Kenzo World Intense by Kenzo was launched in 2017 and crafted by perfumers Francis Kurkdjian and Maïa Lernout. The composition opens with a burst of plum, leading to a heart of peony and jasmine before settling into the warmth of vanilla. This floral fruity gourmand fragrance is unisex and embodies the brand's signature blend of traditional elegance and modern sensibility. Kenzo World Intense captures a sense of lasting luxury, where the sweetness of plum and vanilla is balanced by the delicate florals of peony and jasmine.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it to build on your skin over time. The plum top note is bright but fleeting, so two sprays will ensure that the rich base notes of vanilla come through. It’s best for evening wear when its warm, enveloping qualities can truly shine.
