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 - Saint Rémy Extrait

This one's a divisive sniff, folks. Some call it an earthy, classy freshie, others can't get past the 'old car' vibe. You'll either get its complex, challenging dance between clean and raw, or you'll be reaching for the surgical masks.

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.

Saint Rémy Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, especially in the opening, might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its clean, woody freshness and interesting leather accord make it suitable for casual wear or intriguing date nights. The earthy, raw aspects lend themselves to less formal situations, while the iris adds a touch of unexpected elegance for a modern formal setting.
