Which Should You Buy?
Journey is a deeply divisive scent; some will adore its fresh, clean floral character as a signature, while others find its aquatic sweetness old-fashioned and headache-inducing. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Zara Lightly Bloom is a divisive fresh floral, loved by many for its airy, clean simplicity but dismissed by others as basic and fleeting. It's a reliable cheapie for everyday prettiness, if you don't mind reapplying.
