Flower by Kenzo Eau de Lumière

Which Should You Buy?
If you love violets, this is a gorgeous, sweet, powdery, yet green take on the floral. It's affordable and generally well-loved, though some find it lacks punch. It's often compared to Guerlain's Insolence but with a fresher, lighter touch. Just be warned about the iffy staying power.
This flanker to Kenzo Flower is a divisive one. You'll either get luminous, sparkling florals, or a hefty dose of headache-inducing musk and violet that's far from the original's charm. Proceed with caution.
