The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Japanese artist Katsushiki Hokusai is one of the most famous works of Asian art. A wave resembling an ancient mythical creature hangs over a helpless boat. Sailors cling to their flimsy sides, but, of course, they perfectly understand that there is no use for this: the wave is ready at any moment to overturn their fragile vessel and carry them to the bottom.
The only witness, perhaps, of the last minutes of the sailors' lives is the wise Fujiyama - unapproachable, detached, having watched thousands and thousands of similar cases, for whom there is neither time, nor fear, nor joy - only she herself. According to art critics, the painting became the quintessence of the energy of life, and it was she who inspired Kenzo perfumers to create the Aquand L'eau fragrances - two injections of Hokusai's wave.
AquNEO edition
Water is like a real magic: it makes life bright, tasty and varied. Water gives birth to life and sustains it. This is the new interpretation of the AquKenzo fragrance. Cases in vibrant hues open the way to a graceful wave-like bottle. And behind it is an ocean of emotions, in which you are gently immersed in notes of mandarin with an accord of black currant and a veil of magnolia. Somewhere in the distance, you can hear the scent of raspberries. The harmony that this fragrance gives is far from calm: it introduces you into a special energy field of the water element and you feel yourself at the peak of a flying wave - the one that the master of Hokusai once depicted.
Immerse yourself in fresh or salt water, plunge into the blue or dance on the waves: the freedom and brightness of the sensation of water prompted the creation of AQUKENZO NEO EDITION by KENZO PARFUMS.

L'eau NEO edition
The iconic 1996 scent takes on a new sound in the Neo Edition collection: in a new packaging with a wave of Hokusai, a stylish neoprene case, the perfume reads new, modern codes of the Kenzo brand; acquires new aesthetic facets, without changing its basis - sea freshness and elusive, like the wave itself, charm.
A sensual feminine scent built on bold, original combinations, reminiscent of the play of the surf and the refreshing breeze. Mint notes make the space breathe deeply, the lotus hums a song in which the whisper of the waves is heard, and pink pepper erases the last remnants of fatigue and distrust. Now you are open to the water element and move with it in time. Where and why is up to you.
This feminine scent presents you with her best outfit: azure blue and coral let the eau de toilette unfold in the form of Hokusai's Big Wave.
