Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lemon Pie

If you came for lemon pie, you're getting lemon pie. This is a hyper-realistic gourmand that smells exactly as advertised, though some find it a bit too true to life, leaning into 'burnt crust' or 'butter' territory. Longevity is the main gripe, so be prepared to reapply.

Statement

Our Verdict - A Sweet Pastry In Paris

This ZARA cheapie is a divisive one. Fans adore its buttery, tart lemon pastry charm, often grabbing backups. Detractors can't get past a perceived synthetic lemon cleaner opening, finding it artificial and cloying. If you like sweet gourmands, it's worth a sniff.
