Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo Essentielle Eau de Parfum
This flanker isn't a radical departure from the original Flower, but it's refined, less cloying, and more balanced. It's a powdery floral that dances on the edge of 'too much', but largely succeeds due to its excellent blending and surprising longevity. A touch divisive, but mostly loved.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sacre Parfum
Divisive, old-school, and absolutely not for everyone, Parfum Sacre is a heady, spiced amber, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention. Many adore its spiritual, mysterious depth, while others find it simply 'too much' or dated. Proceed with caution, but sample if you dare.
