Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your mum's Flower. Kenzo Oriental is a divisive beast: a love-it-or-hate-it incense bomb that captivates with its meditative depth, or repels with a sharp, 'unnatural' opening. If you appreciate a confident, smoky oriental, you'll mourn its discontinuation.
Divisive, old-school, and absolutely not for everyone, Parfum Sacre is a heady, spiced amber, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention. Many adore its spiritual, mysterious depth, while others find it simply 'too much' or dated. Proceed with caution, but sample if you dare.
