Which Should You Buy?
A universally adored summer staple, Kenzo Summer is the mimosa queen we all miss. Its sunny, clean, and warm embrace makes it a true cult classic, leaving many desperately searching for a suitable replacement.
This is a lovely white floral, safe and inoffensive, if a little 'generic' or 'clean shampoo'. Perfect for those who want a fresh, feminine scent that's elegant without trying too hard, though some find it sharp or 'old ladyish'.
