Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tales from Zanzibar EDP
This is a seriously hyped tropical powerhouse, delivering a unique guava-forward scent that smells perfect for summer. Most reviews rave about its delicious, juicy fruitiness, but watch out: a vocal minority pick up an unfortunate 'B.O.' or 'sweaty' note on their skin. Sample first, just in case.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dahab EDP
Divain's Dahab dupe follows Kajal's original with the same Granny Smith apple and bergamot opening into a passionfruit-and-cedar heart, though the musk-amber base wears off far sooner than the genuine Kajal.
