The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Kenzo and crafted by perfumers Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Olivier Pescheux, Totem Orange is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that captures the essence of vibrant energy. The composition opens with bitter orange and lemon, bringing a sharp freshness that cuts through the air like a crisp autumn breeze. This citrusy top note gives way to the softer, slightly sweet fig tree and peach, adding warmth without losing its bright edge. Vetiver and cedar ground the scent, while white musk and cacao provide depth and complexity, rounding out the fragrance with earthy undertones.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced scent experience. The initial citrus notes are prominent but fade within an hour, so reapply after lunch if you want a full day of vibrancy. The musk base lingers longer, making this fragrance perfect for the office or daytime outings.
