Indigo bamboo: design & sustainability

Visual architecture

The bamboo-shaped bottle is coated in an opaque blue lacquer with a sandblasted-stone effect; its beveled base evokes a katana strike, while the matte surface catches the light like fresh ink.

Sustainability approach

• Glass containing 30 % recycled material.
• French-origin alcohol from regenerative agriculture.
• FSC cardboard box without cellophane.

Indigo: a tribute to the art of Japanese dyeing

Creative concept

Inspired by aizome, traditional indigo dyeing, the fragrance translates the moment fabric emerges from the ink bath: salty freshness, deep blue pigment, fiber still damp. The Kenzo man wears this blue like a second skin, powerful, free, connected to nature.

Visual campaign

A film shows a freediver rising from indigo depths, followed by a shot of the bottle set on a rock polished by sea foam. The soundtrack is electro-ambient, paced by the beats of a heart underwater.

Frequently asked questions

How does it differ from Kenzo Homme (2022)?

The 2022 version paired pine with creamy sandalwood; Indigo replaces the pine with an opalescent iris and adds a more sensual leathery facet.

Is it refillable?

Yes: the pump unscrews and accepts refills from the Kenzo Homme line (150 ml soft bottles sold separately).

Unisex or masculine?

Launched as masculine, but its iris-leather heart will appeal to fans of elegant woody aquatics, regardless of gender.
