By the editors · 2 min readTokyo by Kenzo opens with a sharp citrus burst tempered by ginger's warm bite, creating an energetic contrast between brightness and spice. The pink pepper at its heart adds a metallic tingle, a faint electric hum that keeps the composition from settling into predictable freshness. This is not the zen minimalism often associated with Japanese-inspired scents, but something more urban and kinetic.
As it dries down, guaiac wood and cedar provide a smoky, pencil-shaving dryness, with nutmeg adding a subtle dustiness. The woods feel less like a forest and more like polished surfaces in a modernist building. Tokyo reads as a masculine scent built for movement and efficiency, clean without being sterile, structured without feeling formal. It suits someone who appreciates restraint but doesn't mind a bit of sharpness around the edges.
