Which Should You Buy?
A younger, fresher take on the original Flower, this one's a definite crowd-pleaser for those who found its predecessor too powdery. It might not blow your mind, but it’s a cheerful, safe bet with a zesty, fruity opening that softens into a lovely floral musk.
This is a masterpiece that epitomises quiet luxury, delivering an elegant osmanthus tea experience. Expect a subtle scent that stays close to the skin, though its beauty is undeniable, making it a cult favourite for discerning noses.
