The story behind the bottle.
L'Eau Kenzo Intense pour Femme, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Françoise Caron, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that embodies the power of water and the intensity of attraction. It opens with a juicy red apple note, leading to a floral heart of lily and peony, before settling into a warm patchouli base. This composition balances freshness with warmth, creating a scent that feels both inviting and sensuous.
Two sprays will allow the red apple top notes to shine initially, but give it time for the patchouli base to emerge. This fragrance is best worn in warmer months when the balance between freshness and warmth feels most harmonious.
