Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo Eau de Parfum
Flower by Kenzo is a divisive modern classic. Loved by devotees for its incredibly comforting, powdery softness and nostalgic charm, others find its prominent talc-like quality too old-fashioned or even headache-inducing. It's a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Our Verdict - Pose As Rose Eau de Parfum
This powdery violet-rose is a divisive dupe. Most rave about its uncanny resemblance to a high-end scent, finding it modern and fresh, but a vocal minority smell ammonia, old wood, or granny vibes. Try before you buy, it might just be your new obsession.
