What does Tokyo by Kenzo smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays close without disappearing quickly. Most voters pick spring and fall, summer follows closely, and winter is chosen far less. It leans towards daily, leisure and business wear, and most voters read it as masculine.

It opens bright with lemon, grapefruit, ginger and bitter orange. The heart of maté, green tea, pink pepper and shiso brings a green, lightly spicy feel. In the base, cedarwood, gaiac wood, clove and nutmeg settle it onto a woody, warm footing.
