Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Valentina Eau de Parfum

Valentina is a nuanced, feminine floral-fruity that's sadly been discontinued, leaving many longing for its elegant balance. It's a modern classic striving for subtlety, but its underwhelming performance and unique earthy notes can be a bit divisive.

Our Verdict - Kenzo Eau de Toilette

A legendary 80s powerhouse white floral that polarises opinion: some find it a gorgeous, complex masterpiece; others a dated, overwhelming floral bomb. You either adore its vibrant, unapologetic essence or dismiss it as too vintage, harking back to a forgotten era.

Season and Occasion Fit

Valentina Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its delicate and inoffensive nature, coupled with generally moderate sillage, makes it perfect for casual and office wear. While romantic, its subtlety might be lost in very formal settings, and it's definitely not one for the gym.

Kenzo Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and full-bodied nature make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is preferred. However, its elegance and complexity are perfect for formal events and intimate date nights, as many users describe it as a 'statement' fragrance for special occasions.
