Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Air Intense Eau de Toilette

Kenzo Air Intense is a quietly captivating scent, unfairly overlooked by many. While some find it too subtle, fans adore its unique, airy vetiver and anise blend, making it a cult classic that's sadly missed since discontinuation. It proves intensity doesn't always roar; sometimes it whispers beautifully.

Our Verdict - Sultan Vetiver Eau de Parfum

Sultan Vetiver is pure Marmite: you'll either adore its intense, earthy, almost dirty vetiver heart, or recoil from what some call musty, mouldy, or even 'toilet freshener'. This isn't a safe blind buy, so sample before committing to its unapologetic character.
