Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Declaration Eau de Parfum

This isn't for the TikTok generation, love. Cartier Declaration is a timeless classic - a complex, spicy-citrus masterpiece that commands respect. For those who get it, it's a 'holy grail'; for others, well, they just don't get it. Expect an interesting ride that might take a few wears to truly appreciate.

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.
