Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo La Cologne Cologne
If you usually swerve anything "Flower by Kenzo", this one's for you. Morillas strips back the polarizing powderiness, delivering a fresh, citrus-green take on the original, though it does split opinion.

Our Verdict - 09 Orange Star Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a divine, unique citrus powerhouse, while others just can't get past the 'bathroom cleaner' vibe. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with very little middle ground.

Season and Occasion Fit

Flower by Kenzo La Cologne Cologne

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and light profile makes it ideal for casual wear and suitable for the office, where it won't be overpowering. The short longevity and subtle sillage make it less suited for formal events or impactful dates.

09 Orange Star Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its unique and sometimes polarising scent profile, mean it's not the best for an office environment. However, its warming amber and citrus character, frequently described as 'addictive' or ‘sexy’, makes it a strong contender for dates or evenings out, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear.
