Description
Kenzo introduces two new versions of the successful fragrances L’Eau pour Kenzo from 1996 and L’Eau pour Kenzo pour Homme from 1999, named L’Eau 2 Kenzo pour Femme and L’Eau 2 Kenzo pour Homme. Water as the symbol of freshness and pureness is the basic motivation for these new editions, inspired by summer adventures in a big city like Rome. The new fragrances are spontaneous, lively and intimate.
L’Eau 2 Kenzo pour Homme is a citrusy fragrance signed by perfumer Sonia Constant. Bitter freshness in the top is provided by accords of ginger, grapefruit and bitter orange. Notes of lavender and juniper berry are located in the heart, laid on the woody base of vetiver, cedar and spruce.
Both fragrances are available in quantities of 30, 50 and 100 ml in Eau de Toilette concentration.
L’Eau 2 Kenzo pour Homme was launched in 2012.

I sprayed this one on my wrist and first time I didn’t like it as it was too smoky, but after a while I felt like it attracts me somehow as it dried down.
The scent is very masculine and doesn’t have anything in common with original L’eau Par from Kenzo, but though it’s not that good as the original one, it’s way interesting too. And – it lasts for a long time, till the next day even after having a shower.
Rolandas – :
L’Eau 2 Kenzo Pour Homme is another one of those cases of colognes that do not appear on the radar of the most demanding noses and the reason is totally unknown. Perhaps it is the bad reputation that all the perfumes of the brand are “watered down” or “too fresh”, because of the L’Eau Par Kenzo collection and its numerous flankers. However, it is worth remembering that the brand has great fragrances such as Kenzo Homme and Flower by Kenzo, which do not fit into these categories.
L’Eau 2 Kenzo Pour Homme was released in 2012 along with the female version as variations of the classics of 1999 and 1996, respectively. The perfumer was Sonia Constant, who has already signed creations for Fragonard, Guerlain, Montblanc, among other mass-market brands as well as niche brands. The official composition cites notes of grapefruit, bitter orange and ginger (head), followed by lavender and juniper (body), on a base of cedar and vetiver (bottom).
The fragrance of L’Eau 2 Kenzo Pour Homme is citric and slightly woody, bringing the refreshing and typical style of other fragrances that carry the name Sport on their bottles. The bitter orange and the ginger dominate and catch the eye of anyone around. There is a latent vitality, which is always highly appreciated in male fragrances, especially for hot places, as is the case of my country (Brazil).
The evolution is minimal, at least on my skin. The fragrance behaves linearly, with little emphasis on the central part of the olfactory pyramid. As expected, there is a very good early blast, but it lasts for a short time, since the volatility of the initial notes is high. Still, L’Eau 2 Kenzo Pour Homme lasts in a medium way and delivers what is expected.
A friend’s advice: it’s worth keeping an eye on it, for it may surprise you.

L’Eau 2 Kenzo is a fresh citrusy, summer scent for men. At the beginning I get fresh lemon for a few seconds and after that the bitter grapefruit. In a minute appear the other notes.
The longevity is moderate, about 4-5 hours and the sillage is also moderate.
The most distinguished notes I get are grapefruit, juniper berries, bitter orange and ginger.
Generally is a versatile summer scent, a good and safe choise but nothing special. A nice moderate summer masculine scent!
Park1995 – :
The combination of the tart and bitterness of grapefruit and bitter orange renders this scent really interesting to me, since most acquatic/citrus summer scents tend to be “cold”, not bitter. Nice and sort of unique summer fresh perfume, clean, refreshing, yet not “cold”.
Drydown is not so interesting, but respectable. I do like the moment when vetiver kicks in and mixes with the remaining ginger.
I have to admit that i do find remarkable that the grapefruit-bitter orange tandem does las an unusually long time for being top notes, at least 2 hours.
The one thing that is regretable is longevity, it wont last more than 4 hours.
sljkeeee – :
Definitely a fresh summer scent, relaxing with a decent longevity. Nothing much to talk about, but still a good choice for hot days.
Кирикк – :
To me, this perfume is an ideal fragrance for men!
It is fresh, but still sexual and attractive. I can feel it from 1000 fragrances and will still love it.
Of course it is worn better in summer, but I’d love to feel it on my man all year long.
Sillage is soft-moderate, mostly with the citrucy notes.
I love it.
Best masculine fragrance ever.
timzera – :
Take a whiff at montblanc legend special edition 2012, the blue bottle. It smell exactly the same!
I agree with the longevity, it doesn’t last long. Fresh burst of tangerine at the start then it transform into something light then disappear into the air.
menacewj – :
the smell little bit warm, like dry chilli. but why the smell very fast to dissapear
evgen40rus – :
I agree with review below about similarity with Lacoste, but only the first 3 minutes. After that the scent going into different path.
I like it. Actually this is nice smell but I expect more from the house of Kenzo and being L’eau 2, this should be ground breaking like the first, but it isn’t.
Like other fresh scent I can see longevity and projection soft to moderate.
Like it but it doesn’t tempt me to buy a bottle..
MupTiepweni – :
I tested today. Very fresh and citrus like Dior Sport. Opening grapefruit is nice. But longevity and projection is very poor like all summer fragrances by Kenzo. More better buy Dior Sport.
romashka_93 – :
So, I have tested it…
It smells nice no doubt.
And it smells so ordinary, like 100 other fresh scents which you can’t decide if they are male or female, but rather unisex.
Really, I can’t see what’s “masculine” in this fragrance.
A lot of fresh and sunny citrus fruit, invigorating and refreshing, that’s all. No character, I would not be able to identify it on a paper strip.
I’m afraid this will never replace the original L’eau par Kenzo.
After KenzoAir, Tokyo, KenzoPower this is probably the next release from Kenzo which won’t stay for long on the market 🙁
Have your realized that only Kenzo PH and L’eau par Kenzo sells well? The other releases are flops.

Looking forward, notes sounds amazing. As for now, it can be my choice for summer.
neo66650 – :
I saw it last week in the store. I just love it! the formula has definitely changed comparing to the last version. it’s even more beautiful than my beloved Ice edition. it’s so mouthwatering, so juicy, so wanted and so fresh (not like “fresh fragrances as citrucy”) as a bite of fresh fruites with berries.
it’s like a warm sunny day after cold and grey winter.
love it.
