Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 9.0 Zara Eau de Parfum

A legendary cheapie, oft-compared to high-end designer fragrances, 9.0 Zara is a crowd-pleaser and absolute steal for its price. Prepare for heartbreak though, as Zara's fickle release schedule means it's frequently discontinued. If you spot a bottle, snap it up.

Our Verdict - D600 Eau de Parfum

This is a love-it-or-hate-it spicy iris. Some find it a classy, complex blend, while others are put off by a pervasive 'baby powder' note that never quits. Don't blind buy, sample first. And stop comparing it to Dior Homme, it's its own thing.

Season and Occasion Fit

9.0 Zara Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and sophisticated iris-led profile make it ideal for dates and formal events. While suitable for casual wear, some find its slightly seductive nature a bit much for a conservative office environment, though it’s not an aggressive scent.

D600 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate projection and warm, comforting accords make it suitable for office and casual wear, as many reviews suggest. While elegant enough for a date, some find it a bit too 'lotion-like' or soft for formal settings. The powdery and warm spicy nature inherently reduces its suitability for sport.
