Kenzo Homme Indigo
Kenzo Homme Indigo: marine freshness tinged with nocturnal leather. Kenzo Homme Indigo revives the iconic sillage of Kenzo Homme by injecting it with the depth of a midnight-blue ink bath. The opening offers a marine accord whipped by an open-sea wind, then a creamy iris unfolds like a petal under moonlight before a smoky leather, underscored by milky sandalwood and akigalawood, melts onto the skin, trailing an addictive woody remanence.

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.
