Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zanzibar EDP
This isn't a complex beast, but it doesn't need to be. Zanzibar brings a clean, understated elegance to the table, proving that classic can still feel fresh and utterly wearable.

Our Verdict - Encanto Gorgeous EDP
This one's a proper mixed bag. Some find Encanto Gorgeous a soft, dreamy summer escape, while others get hit with something far less pleasant- think fish markets and rotting wood. Definitely not a safe blind buy, you'll either love its creamy ylang-ylang or be utterly repulsed.

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

With moderate sillage and longevity, Zanzibar is versatile enough for most settings. Its clean, balanced profile makes it suitable for office wear, while its understated elegance works well for dates or formal events, though perhaps less so for energetic sports.

Encanto Gorgeous

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its softer, creamy development and moderate intensity make it suitable for casual wear and dates, as some reviews suggest it's a 'dreamy, soft summer fragrance'. However, its sometimes polarising and potentially strong opening means it's less ideal for formal settings or the office, where subtlety is key.
