Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zen Eau de Parfum
Zen is a divisive scent, polarising reviewers between a clean, fresh, and elegant vibe and something generic, sharp, or ‘old-lady-like’. If you're after a budget-friendly Coco Mademoiselle-adjacent experience, it's worth a sniff, but be aware of its poor performance for some.

Our Verdict - Zeno Eau de Parfum
This isn't just another Middle Eastern hidden gem; it's a versatile, grown-up fragrance that punches way above its price point. It's a classy crowd-pleaser that manages to be both fresh and grounded, perfect for those who want elegance without a high street price tag.
