Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo Essentielle Eau de Parfum
This flanker isn't a radical departure from the original Flower, but it's refined, less cloying, and more balanced. It's a powdery floral that dances on the edge of 'too much', but largely succeeds due to its excellent blending and surprising longevity. A touch divisive, but mostly loved.

Our Verdict - Verna Extrait
This one's a modern vanilla bombshell with a sweet, seductive edge. It's got people arguing about comparisons, but everyone agrees Verna is a rich, opulent, and seriously sexy fragrance that stands on its own.
