Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenzo Eau de Toilette
A legendary 80s powerhouse white floral that polarises opinion: some find it a gorgeous, complex masterpiece; others a dated, overwhelming floral bomb. You either adore its vibrant, unapologetic essence or dismiss it as too vintage, harking back to a forgotten era.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Absolutely Irresistible Eau de Parfum
Givenchy Absolutely Irresistible is a divisive, discontinued gem. Some find it a spicy, glamorous femme fatale scent, while others get a cloying mess with poor performance. Worth tracking down if you covet bold, unique florals.
