R.E.M Eau de Parfum vs Amour Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
R.E.M. is a divisive, quirky lavender gourmand that manages to be both sweet and salty. While many find it comforting and unique, some struggle with its unusual blend, likening it to anything from laundry detergent to an old aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Divain's Amour captures Kenzo Amour's white tea and cherry blossom softness, though it's thinner and less enveloping than the original's celebrated powdery skin-scent.
