Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Couleur Kenzo Jaune-Yellow
A bright, sunny citrus and white floral that splits the crowd. Some find it a delicious, long-lasting summer dream, others a synthetic, sugary lemon that's a bit too juvenile. It's not a safe blind buy, but if you love juicy citrus with a creamy floral dry-down, it might just be your bottled sunshine.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vanilla
This 90s classic is a straight-up vanilla hit, adored by many for its comforting, cookie-like sweetness. While some find it a bit too linear or synthetic, its affordability and layering potential make it a perennial favourite for gourmand lovers. Don't expect huge projection, but it's pure, unadulterated vanilla satisfaction for those who crave it.
