Which Should You Buy?
Zara Warm Black is a divisive dupe that smells far more expensive than it is. Some love its spiced vanilla warmth, calling it a Tobacco Vanille twin, while others find it a synthetic headache. You'll either adore it or completely regret the blind buy, so test first if you can.
A divisive take on the candied ginger trend, Ginger Babe delivers a punchy spicy opening that settles into a comforting gourmand. It's not for everyone, with some finding the initial blast too sharp or reminiscent of shaving cream, but many adore its cosy, festive warmth.
