Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Waterlily Tea Dress Eau de Parfum

This isn't just a perfume; it's a personality. A fresh, green, and often controversial scent from Zara, Waterlily Tea Dress is a divisive fragrance that delivers a unique, cool floral experience. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for those who crave something a bit unexpected, with a touch of "inside a florist's fridge" realness.

Our Verdict - Thé Basilic Eau de Parfum

A vibrant green tea and basil blend that's an absolute steal for summer, delivering a refreshing blast that punches well above its weight. It's often compared to pricier rivals, though some find the basil a bit much or the performance lacking in newer batches.
