Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Femme Eau de Parfum

Zara Femme is a surprisingly divisive cheapie; some adore its creamy, powdery vanilla as a cozy everyday scent, while others dismiss it as generic, too masculine, or even headache-inducing. Its poor longevity is a consistent sticking point, regardless of its budget-friendly appeal.

Our Verdict - Vanillade Eau de Parfum

This vanilla-heavy scent is a divisive one. Fans adore its creamy, gourmand warmth, but it leaves some cold with its overtly sweet and persistent patchouli-vanilla blend. Love it or hate it, Vanillade certainly isn't shy.
