The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009 and crafted by Aurélien Guichard, Unidentified Fragrance Object by Kenzo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the brand's distinctive blend of traditional elegance and contemporary sophistication. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord, giving way to a heart of white floral and rose, before settling into a warm amber and spicy base. This contrast between freshness and warmth creates an engaging olfactory experience that is both captivating and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so let the warm amber base take center stage by wearing it close to skin rather than projecting across a room.
