Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zen EDP
Zen is a divisive scent, polarising reviewers between a clean, fresh, and elegant vibe and something generic, sharp, or ‘old-lady-like’. If you're after a budget-friendly Coco Mademoiselle-adjacent experience, it's worth a sniff, but be aware of its poor performance for some.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 098 L'Eau de Chloe EDP
A lighter, more casual take on Chloe's rose-and-citrus L'Eau flanker, capturing its fresh chypre spirit without the full aldehydic sparkle of the original.
