Kenzo Homme Sport
by Kenzo
Kenzo Homme Sport opens with a lively burst of grapefruit, lemon, and mint, delivering a refreshing, almost icy sensation that feels invigorating and perfect for warm weather. The heart brings a subtly spicy blend of ginger flower and geranium, creating a nuanced, slightly herbal character that lifts the fragrance above standard sport colognes. As it settles, the scent evolves into a soft, woody base of cedar and vetiver, with a drydown that can lean into gingerspice and a slightly synthetic, adhesive quality that some find unappealing. The best impression comes early, where it is bright, crisp, and distinctly original, with a juicy citrus-mint core that is both uplifting and unique among men's sport fragrances. While the scent is pleasant and well-balanced on the skin, the longevity is short—typically lasting 5 to 6 hours, with the effect lasting longer on fabric. Overall, it’s a confident, lightweight, and fresh fragrance that feels athletic without being aggressive or overly projecting.
Pros
- +Fresh and refreshing citrus-mint opening with a juicy, vibrant character
- +Moderate, consistent sillage suitable for day wear without overwhelming
- +Longevity is adequate for a sport fragrance, especially when applied to clothing
- +Unique aromatic-spicy character that stands apart from typical sport scents
Cons
- −Drydown can become overly spiced or synthetic, with some perceiving it as body odor-like or too sharp
- −Low longevity on the skin, falling short compared to related fragrances like Dior Homme Sport or Armani Code Sport
- −Limited projection and sillage means it’s not strong enough to be noticed by others beyond close range
