Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amour Eau de Parfum
Kenzo Amour is the ultimate cosy hug in a bottle, perfect for those who crave warmth and comfort. It's a beloved classic for a reason, despite some chatter about its longevity and an unexpected 'Play-Doh' nuance from a vocal minority.

Our Verdict - Hanamizake Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper mood-setter - a fleeting, ethereal trip to cherry blossom season, with a boozy kick. It's a love-it-or-leave-it scent, often praised for its unique charm but criticised for its weak performance.
