A celebration of the organic relationship between man and the earth, Kenzo Homme Woody is a dynamic scent that is equally energetic and intense. Wholly masculine and deeply sensual, the inspiration behind the fragrance is the steadfast power, strength and serenity of the tree: an entity that, like man, draws its strength from nature.
The Kenzo Woody man is one who lives life without barriers or limits. He is peaceful, full of movement, depth and insight. Balanced and tolerant, the Kenzo Woody man is perfectly represented within Cédric Bihr, charismatic face of the fragrance. With his face upturned to the turquoise sky, the brilliant blue is reflected in his eyes. He is as quietly commanding as the tree: firmly rooted to the ground yet dreaming and aspiring up past the tree tops.
For him, the world is beautiful.
Woody is a warm and masculine aromatic-woody scent that evokes an affinity between the man, the earth and the sky. It is created by legendary nose Olivier Polge, who drew his influence from the mighty tree to create a true olfactory representation of nature.
The fragrance opens up with the bright, leafy greens of Mint and Basil, descending down the tree trunk to the all-encompassing warmth of Rosemary and Madagascan Pepper, before sinking into the rich and fertile roots of Vetiver and Atlas Cedar.
Harking back to the original Kenzo Homme flacon, Kenzo Homme Woody is inspired by the vitality of bamboo, one of nature’s marvels. This reworked version is finished in matte brown to reflect the trunk of a tree, and features vibrant engraved leaves that bring the bottle to life. When seen from a low angle, the bottle appears to stem organically from the earth, stretching up into the infinite sky harmoniously.

KENZO Homme Woody (Boisee) Eau de Toillette Spray 30ml
When you open the scent it smells impressively sensual. There was basil, exactly natural for the mood and then combined with the lightness of mint. This smell resonates morning breeze or fresh smell of chaste garden. The heart smells spicy because there was pepper and rosemary. These two notes have aromatic flavor that sometimes too ambiguous. Pepper if it stands alone is uniquely masculine and obsessively sensual. Rosemary is more aromatic, it give a light and insightful aroma. The combination of this two notes during the segue was a perfect balance. Vetiver and cedar makes up the base notes and the dry down made the scent smell woody but the aromatic nuances is clinging beneath. The scent is perfect for spring, fall and winter but not so for summer because there is a bit of spiciness even when it dries down. But this is a positive attribute of the scent which makes it unique and impressive. The scent is just a little warm. The consistency of aromatic herbs is what is impressive first of all. When it opened, basil gives off this grassy background. The subtlety of mint refreshes the mode but I observed that basil was still the dominant note. When it segued, the combination between the aromatic indulgence of rosemary made the grassy smell more intensified with pepper which also outlined the masculine beat of the perfume. Then it dry down to the woody aroma. The scent is unique, original and strong. I like that it has lots of grassy notes which truly gives you the aromatic sense. It only has mint and pepper to stir the fragrance differently. I like it when a perfume really maintains the name of the scent or the inspiration is taken carefully and faithfully as it turned out. Boisee is a french word for wooded and this was the main concept of the scent. In fact if you check the print ad and the TV ad, both scenes were beside a tall tree. This highlights the scent as a true masculine woody smell and it turns out well. The smell of this was also something original. It is not really my scent as it seems to masculin for me but it´s really nicely done.
