Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a divisive floral. Many love its fresh peony and citrus, but don't expect a gourmand "Candy" experience - or much staying power. It's often dismissed as generic, but its clean, cheerful character makes it a crowd-pleaser for those who fit its particular vibe.
