On skin, longevity averages 3 to 5 hours before fading into a soft musk. Projection peaks within arm's length during the first hour and quickly drops to an intimate radius. It performs best in warm spring and summer weather between 68 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, where humidity helps lift the citrus and floral top notes.
Notes Pyramid

Kenzo Amour My Love is a light floral fruity Eau de Toilette built on sharp red currant, pink grapefruit, and passionfruit up front. The heart expands into airy peony, fresh rose, and cherry blossom, while white musk and cedar provide a clean, dry finish. It carries a crisp, watery texture rather than a heavy or syrupy sweetness.
Main Accords
8 MAPPEDThe dominant floral accord acts like fresh garden blooms after rain, driven primarily by peony and cherry blossom. The fruity accord delivers a tart, mouthwatering edge from red currant rather than candy sweetness. As it dries down, the citrus fades, allowing the soft spicy cedar and white musk to anchor the soft petals without adding heavy weight.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Kenzo Amour My Love Review: Light Peony and Tart Red Currant”
Kenzo Amour My Love opens with an energetic burst of pink grapefruit, tart red currant, and juicy passionfruit. The initial spray hits skin with a sharp, tangy fruitiness that avoids heavy sugary confectionary tones. Within ten minutes, the initial citrus bite relaxes, revealing a dewy, refreshing brightness that feels tailored for warm spring mornings and sunny breakfasts outdoors.
As the energetic fruit top notes begin to settle, the floral heart steps smoothly into the spotlight. Peony dominates this mid-phase, supported by soft cherry blossom, delicate lilac, and a quiet rose backdrop. These florals feel sheer and watery, mimicking fresh petals after a light rain. Clean cedar and white musk quietly ground the base, keeping the petals from turning shrill or soapy as the scent dries down.
On skin, the composition moves rapidly from tart fruit to a soft, close-fitting floral aura. The red currant and grapefruit prevent the peony and lilac from feeling overly powdery or old-fashioned. Warm skin and humidity draw out a touch more passionfruit sweetness, while cool spring air emphasizes the dry cedar woodiness. It maintains a clean, transparent profile throughout its entire wear cycle without turning cloying.
Performance remains modest across testing, yielding between 3 and 5 hours of total longevity on skin with light projection for the first hour. This intimate sillage profile makes it an effortless choice for compact office spaces, high-temperature summer afternoons, casual weekend errands, or post-shower relaxation. Wearers should expect to reapply around lunchtime if they intend to carry the scent through the entire workday.
This Eau de Toilette caters directly to shoppers who prefer light, breezy floral fruity compositions over dense gourmands or heavy amber resins. If you loved the original 2006 Kenzo Amour for its cozy rice steam and powdery vanilla warmth, be aware that My Love shares almost no DNA with its namesake. It steps out as a distinct, sunlit floral flanker built for casual elegance.
Kenzo Amour My Love delivers a charming, uncomplicated spring bouquet that thrives in warm weather and relaxed settings. While its skin longevity falls on the shorter side, its crisp combination of tart red currant and airy peony makes it a satisfying pick for fans of easygoing floral scents who want something fresh and non-intrusive.
