Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Label Eau de Parfum
Givenchy Blue Label is a divisive freshie with a vocal fanbase, but a significant number of people find it generic, fleeting, or even outright unpleasant. It's safe, but not for everyone, nor will it be particularly memorable.

Our Verdict - Zanzibar Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Louis Vuitton Imagination (2021) - bergamot, black tea and amberwood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue Label Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, as it's generally inoffensive. However, its perceived lack of uniqueness and moderate performance limit its appeal for dates or formal events, where something more distinctive and long-lasting is often preferred.

Zanzibar Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Bergamot-ginger-tea opening is bright in spring and summer; the ambrette-amberwood close carries into autumn. Winter wear lacks the warmth depth.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Sport

Office and date-day natural fit - sophisticated, polished, modern. Versatile for casual wear too.
