Which Should You Buy?
Kenzo's Encens Lumière is an interesting enigma - a refined, subtly smoky, and floral incense that some find captivatingly unique, while others are left wanting more oomph or find it a bit too 'great-granny' for their taste. It's a quiet charmer, not a loud statement, so don't expect beast mode.
Spice Must Flow is an ELDO divisive dark horse. It's a sweet, mysterious rose and incense frag, but many find it lacks the 'spice' its name promises. You'll either love its gothic, almost 'cathedral-like' depth or find it an underwhelming, sour rose.
