Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo EDP
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 - Takadan Rose EDP
Takadan Rose captures the soft powdery violet-and-rose signature that made Kenzo Flower a modern classic, settling into clean white musk. The original's velvety, baby-powder depth and excellent longevity are dialled back here, but it's a gentle, romantic budget take on a beloved powdery floral.
