A good example is the new Kenzo Power Cologne for men. They started with the original Amber notes of Kenzo Power and followed in the tradition of the early 18th century colognes by opening with fresh, aromatic citrus notes.

Kenzo Power Cologne
$68 for 4.2 oz

Fragrance notes: Verbena, Bergamot, Cardamom, Geranium, Black Pepper, Vetiver, and Cedar

Kenzo sent me a sample of Kenzo Power Cologne to review. It’s a Woody Citrus, with a sort of musky note to it. I’m trying to place it, but I can’t exactly. It’s almost like sweat, but not unpleasant at all. It’s sort of like The Beat For Men, which also has notes of Wood, Vetiver, and Black Pepper.

It’s very sexy.  I am definitely looking forward to smelling it on my boyfriend, although  I don’t think this one is just for the men. It would also work as a unisex scent, in fact, I’ve worn it for the past 3 days.

That’s a great special gift offer. What would you spend it on? I’m partial to Beautiful, as my dad treated me to a bottle after the birth of each of my children. He’s not the kind of guy to make gestures like that, so I was very touched with each gift.  Beautiful has a feminine, floral scent.

 Beautiful

The fragrance of a thousand flowers.

A tender bouquet of Lilies and Roses, Marigold and Orange Blossoms…all warmed with a rich, woody base and brightened with a touch of citrus.

Top Notes: Rose, Mandarin, Lily, Tuberose, Marigold

Middle Notes: Orange Flower, Muguet, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang

Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Amber
