Kenzo World
feminine
Created by Francis Kurkdjian
Kenzo World by Kenzo is a Floral fragrance for women. Kenzo World was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Kurkdjian. Top note is Red Fruits; middle notes are Peony, Floral Notes and Egyptian Jasmine; base note is Ambroxan. The all-seeing eye is a major imprint of the collection and alludes to the force of the third eye and to spiritual protection from above," said Kenzo art-directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. Its the first fragrance by the new art directors. Kenzo entrusted the fragrance creation to Francis Kurkdjian. "It opens with a surge of flowers by the armful, from petals to bouquets, with bursts of sweetness... It's a brilliant fragrance, with a lively sparkling trail, a crazy rock nectar with an intoxicating scent that titillates the nose. A shot of energy that benefits the soul." The key note of the fragrance is Ambroxan: "Ambroxan gives the flowers the enticing quality that we need to fogret them as such. It's a bit like the sfumato in the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, when you juxtapose power. It acts like the fog, when the mist blurs the contours of things all around, and we only recognize their hazy outline."
