Launched in 2015 and crafted by Christophe Raynaud, Totem Yellow by Kenzo is a unisex fragrance that seamlessly blends fresh citrus with aromatic spices and woody undertones. The opening notes of pink grapefruit and lemon are vibrant and invigorating, while tea and hedione add an aromatic depth that transitions smoothly into the heart of peach and rose. Leather and woody notes ground the composition, giving it a distinctive warmth and complexity, all anchored by white musk.

Application Tips
For best results, apply two sprays to your pulse points. The fresh top notes are bright but dissipate within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial burst of citrus. The warm base notes will linger for hours, making it perfect for a day that transitions into evening.
