Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a divisive one. Fans call it a sweet, fruity beast with amazing longevity, while detractors find its syrupy sweetness overwhelming and headache-inducing. Approach with caution, or if you're a fan of strong, playful scents.
Kintsugi is a love-it-or-hate-it scent - a bold, shape-shifting fragrance that some find exhilaratingly complex and others, frankly, a bit of a challenging mess. It's truly not for everyone, but if you're after something really different, it might just be your next obsession.
