Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo Oriental EDT
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Chypre Vanille EDP
Seriously divisive yet uniquely gorgeous - a complex, warm, and sophisticated vanilla that completely sidesteps the gourmand trap. If you appreciate a deep, smoky-powdery scent, this is a must-try. Expect to love it or hate it, just make sure to test it on skin.
