Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gris Montaigne EDP
This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.

Our Verdict - Memoire Intense EDP
This one's a divisive marvel, a clean citrus-rose with serious legs, but some find it a bit too 'laundry detergent' or even synthetic. Whether it's a classy dupe or a unique gem, its affordability and performance made it a Zara fan favourite - gutted it's discontinued!
