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.
Kashmir is a complex and divisive beast, capable of delivering opulent refinement to some, while others are less enchanted. A masterclass in blended spice and woods, it's definitely not one for an uninspired blind buy.
