Which Should You Buy?
Kenzo Tokyo is a cult-favourite 'fresh spicy' scent that's frustratingly discontinued. It's unique, vibrant, and nostalgic for many, capturing the essence of a modern, electric city. If you can get your hands on it, you'll join a chorus of adoration, despite its noted performance quirks.
This is Herme's take on a post-downpour garden. It's surprisingly divisive- either a masterclass in refreshing spice and petrichor or a bizarre melon and curry mishmash. Definitely try before you buy; it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of scent.
