Transcript:
Power by Kenzo is a very surprising masculine fragrance. The surprise is in the name "Power", because this woody, ambery floral is wonderfully subtle.

Power speaks softly and carries a big stick. In this case, the big stick is the wearer's confidence, since he's secure enough to know that he doesn't need to singe people's nose hairs with his cologne to make a statement.

Created by prize-winning perfumer Olivier Polge, this eau de toilette opens with bergamot and cardamom. It's fresh and ever-so-mildly spicy. Then, you get a wisp of florals, including jasmine, but they're more of a background to the cedar wood and the rich, slightly powdery resins.

I can pick up on the tolu balsam, which smells a bit like cloves and vanilla. My best friend labdanum is in there, too, which is my idea of "unicorn underbelly fluff"- magical animal tummy smell.

Guys who like Gendarme for an all-purpose "no-scent" scent should check out Power. I find that Gendarme veers into soapy-sweet muskiness, but Power stays higher and dryer.

With its woody florals, Power is a more masculine version of Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely -- which a lot of men enjoy wearing, by the way. Equally, woman who love transparent orientals should give Power a whirl.

Power is appropriate for work: the office, meetings, cattle rustling -- whatever your work is. But Power would also be really nice in more intimate situations. It's a "come closer" scent, without being desperate. I'm Katie Puckrik, and I smell.

I love this stuff! It took me around three wearings to know I needed it in my collection. Can't wait to wear it this spring!

@CanwllCorfe615 I find that a lot of times, I have to take some time to get to know a scent before it clicks with me.

I was in sephora the other day with my Uncle (The fashonisto of the family) and we found this one. He really liked it and I do, too. A part of me wants to wear it but I's having to work myself into having the.. well, balls.
