Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, this Zara cheapie punches well above its weight, sparking endless debate about its resemblance to a certain high-end citrus freshie. If you're after a clean, uplifting blast for summer, this is a no-brainer, provided you get a good batch.
This one's a proper British farce - a brilliant citrus-floral opening swiftly followed by a disappearing act. You'll love the smell, but you'll curse the performance. A divisive affair, some swear by its unique charm, whilst others rate it as nothing more than an expensive air freshener.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warm weather, and many reviews laud its versatility. While some find it office-friendly when applied sparingly due to moderate sillage, its pronounced citrus-ginger opening might be too bold for very formal settings. Its refreshing character also makes it suitable for sporty activities.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean citrus and white floral profile is non-offensive and ideal for close-quarters like the office, though its poor longevity means constant reapplication. It's perfect for casual wear, especially in hot weather, as it never projects too strongly. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and the bold presence for a date.
