Kenzo World Intense is a bold, sweetly juicy plum fragrance that opens with a ripe, plump fruit note, enhanced by jasmine and peony for a fresh floral lift. The vanilla base adds a warm, syrupy depth that remains smooth and non-cloying, though some note that the sweetness fades too quickly into a soft, powdery florals. The scent performs strongly, with moderate to strong projection and good longevity, especially when applied generously. It has a distinctively modern, slightly synthetic edge that some find artificial and off-putting, while others appreciate its energetic, candy-like intensity. Compared to Gucci Rush and Decadence, it shares the same juicy plum character but with a cooler, more tart profile, minus the latter’s sharpness. It leans toward evening or seasonal wear, particularly in autumn or winter, and suits those who enjoy fruit-forward, sweetly floral scents with a touch of drama and presence.
