Which Should You Buy?
This Zara 'dupe' of Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle is a polarising little number. Some adore its fruity sweetness, others recoil from its synthetic tartness. If you're after a cheap thrill that might be gone before you've left the house, this is your pick.
This flanker is a truly polarising Mugler; a bizarre aquatic-gourmand experiment that either blows you away with its unique charm or repulses you with its 'alien dog puke' vibe. It's Angel's weird cousin who ate a whole watermelon and then rolled in a patchouli field.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet, fruity character makes it generally suitable for casual wear or dates. The weak performance, however, means it's less ideal for formal events where longevity and strong sillage are often desired, and its sweetness makes it less suitable for office or sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its exceptional projection and longevity, along with its unique and divisive scent profile, make it less suitable for formal or office settings where subtlety is preferred. However, its bold and sensuous nature makes it a great choice for dates or casual outings, especially during warmer weather.
