Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madly Kenzo! Eau de Parfum

Madly Kenzo! is a true head-scratcher; a divisive scent that's either a unique, comfortable incense dream or an acrid, overwhelming mess, depending on your skin chemistry and tolerance for the unusual. It’s certainly not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.

Statement

Our Verdict - Vanilla Black Pepper Parfum

This one is a divisive whisper. Some find a fleeting pepper kick followed by a lovely, mellow vanilla. Others are left searching for any spice, finding only a 'clean' vanilla that dissipates far too quickly. It's a skin scent champion, but perhaps not a crowd-pleaser.
