Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sakura
Sakura is a delicate floral that evokes spring's ephemeral beauty, though many reckon it's a bit pricey for a scent that's often compared to more affordable options. It's a clean, serene crowd-pleaser, but don't expect it to shout; this one whispers.

Our Verdict - Imperial Tea
A hyperrealistic jasmine tea that's got everyone chatting, Kilian Imperial Tea is a divisive stunner. Some find its photorealistic quality breathtaking, a true tea experience in a bottle. Others are less impressed, citing fleeting longevity and a linear composition for its premium price tag. You either love its delicate simplicity or you don't.
