Totem Yellow

6.0

Kenzo · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Kenzo Totem Yellow is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent that sets a green, lightly sweet character against a woody base. It has been discontinued. Pink grapefruit leads, tea keeps the scent green and airy, and woods give it a dry base. There is a floral and fruity side too; the sweetness stays light, and the overall feel is bright and a little synthetic. Most voters place it in summer and spring, for daily wear and leisure. Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and quiet. Voters split between feminine and masculine, which puts it in the middle.

Kenzo

Fresh · Citrus · Sweet

Kenzo Jungle Homme is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance with a spicy, woody base, and it suits spring and autumn days best. Lime and maté open with a bright freshness, softened by balsamic notes.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. Most voters pick autumn, spring and summer, with winter trailing. Daily wear and leisure lead, and it also finds a place at the office. Kenzo Jungle pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Puig Quorum Silver (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
