Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orchidée Vanille Eau de Parfum

This is a lovely vanilla-focused scent, but don't expect it to shout. It's a soft, elegant whisper that many adore, though some find its understated nature frustrating for the price.

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo L'Elixir Eau de Parfum

A divisive raspberry gourmand that's sadly discontinued, Flower by Kenzo L'Elixir is loved by some as a creamy, powdery dream, but dismissed by others as syrupy or even a bit plasticky. It's truly a 'love it or leave it' situation, though its fanbase is fiercely loyal.
