Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Summer by Kenzo Eau de Toilette
A universally adored summer staple, Kenzo Summer is the mimosa queen we all miss. Its sunny, clean, and warm embrace makes it a true cult classic, leaving many desperately searching for a suitable replacement.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ishraq Eau de Parfum
A creamy, powdery-sweet dream that sadly disappears faster than your last weekend, Ishraq is a beloved but fleeting identical twin to Junoon Noir. If you crave that vanilla-dusted violet vibe but don't mind reapplying often, this is your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

Summer by Kenzo Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, fresh, and soft projection makes it ideal for office and casual wear. The intimate sillage and clean, soapy character limit its suitability for more formal or sporty occasions.

Ishraq Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its moderate sillage and poor longevity, Ishraq is best suited for casual wear or intimate dates where you don't need a scent to project heavily. Its sweet and powdery profile makes it a bit too informal for strict office or formal settings, and certainly not for sport.
