Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aura Eau de Parfum
Aura is a charming, easygoing floral with a juicy blackcurrant opening and soft musky-vanilla drydown. Effortless, breezy and quietly optimistic, it is a perfect everyday scent for spring and summer.

Our Verdict - Zazen Eau de Parfum
Zazen is a divisive, unique scent, polarising some with its savoury green apple and rice notes, while others find it a wonderfully cozy and meditative experience. It's a true 'art form' fragrance that challenges expectations.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aura Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Bright fruits, fresh florals and light musks make this best suited for spring and summer when airiness and gentle sweetness are ideal. Lacks the warmth and depth for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Soft projection and a clean, uplifting floral profile make this ideal for office and casual wear. Its breezy transparency is pleasant for dates but too light for formal evening occasions.

Zazen Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its low sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office wear and casual settings, as it stays close to the skin without overwhelming. The unique, comforting profile is less fitting for formal events or sports, where something more potent or purely fresh might be preferred.
