Product Information

In 2011, Carole Lim and Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony were appointed co-creative directors. [13] The pair was credited with revitalizing the Kenzo brand and making it appeal to a younger customer, as well as re-defining and expanding the role of a fashion creative director to encompass all elements of creative work at a brand, not just designing the garments. [14] In September 2021, Kenzo appointed Nigo of A Bathing Ape as their new artistic director. [20] [21] [22] Locations [ edit ] From 1999 until 2003, Gilles Rosier and Roy Krejberg designed the women's and men's lines, respectively. [8]

In that regard, Kenzo World comes across as one of the less annoying mainstream releases in that it does not condescend to the buyer. They do not purport to be the uber-seductive potion that will make men hanker after you ( Good Girl, I'm looking at you), nor do they claim to be the scent of absolute freedom ( Sauvage, are you listening?), but seem to be appealing to a sense of inner personal harmony. And that's all right when not taken to the zen-mumbo-jumbo of extremes that we sometimes stumble upon when reading niche ad copy. Small graces, but I'll take them.

[ permanent dead link] We get it; this is a strong, independent, energetic, complex woman who is not where she wants to be in life, her feelings muted by the high society she's trapped in-- but in the end she finds escape from these feelings by... jumping through the corporate logo of a perfume being sold, and we learn that her complexities are what's been contained in this... perfume.

The rather odd combination of something very sweet and syrupy with a somewhat herbal top note is probably owed to the much more successful concept of Mugler's Aura (also a 2017 launch but no doubt worked upon for much longer), and the rather less convincing to me Decadence by Marc Jacobs which preceded both fragrances by a 2 year frame.McCall, Tyler (June 14, 2019).

Kenzo (stylized as KENZO PARIS) is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1970 by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada and owned by parent company LVMH. [2] History [ edit ] Kenzo Takada, 1970–1998 [ edit ] The Kenzo Parfums division was launched in 1987, though evidence of the earliest Kenzo perfume—1978's King Kong, in keeping with the "Jungle Jap" theme—suggests the designer was interested in fragrance prior to launching a separate fragrance division. Kenzo Parfums' first official release was 1988's Kenzo for Women, a scent whose name was later changed to ça sent beau (which translates to "it smells nice"). A series of successful fragrances for men and women have since been offered, including the company's flagship scent, the ground-breaking Flower by Kenzo.About Inglot". inglotcosmetics.com.

The series of Kenzo World and its flanker fragrances has managed to bypass that by offering a very distinct visual presentation, literally "seeing you" in the sense of Lacan's "the mirror" concept. It's an interesting concept for all perfumes, because what is an artificial smell but an effort to transport images and feelings that we, as bipods, transpose to vision rather than more primal senses? Most fragrances heavily rely on visionary cues, from the perfume bottle design to the color schemes chosen (more on which in John Biebel's articles), right down to the advertising images that accompany their launch.

The key note of the fragrance is Ambroxan: "Ambroxan gives the flowers the enticing quality that we need to forget 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." In 1983, Kenzo started designing men and then kids and home collections in 1987, followed by fragrances in 1988.
