Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo L'Elixir Eau de Parfum

A divisive raspberry gourmand that's sadly discontinued, Flower by Kenzo L'Elixir is loved by some as a creamy, powdery dream, but dismissed by others as syrupy or even a bit plasticky. It's truly a 'love it or leave it' situation, though its fanbase is fiercely loyal.

This one is a divisive but intriguing floral gourmand. Some rave it's an addictive, compliment-getting marvel; others find its performance just alright, leaving them on the fence about a full bottle. Definitely sample it to see if it grabs you.
