Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Creatively Shanghai
A divisive Jo Malone creation for Zara. Prepare for intensely authentic, juicy mandarin orange, but be warned: for some, the cardamom and wood conjure up floor cleaner or worse. Test before you commit, unless you're into that sort of thing.

Our Verdict - Mutamayez
This one's a divisive beast. Mutamayez swings wildly from 'repulsive' to 'special', with many reviewers struggling with a strange opening. If you can ride out the initial blast to the woody, spicy drydown, it might just be a hidden gem - but buyer beware, it's not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Creatively Shanghai

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

This is a versatile, albeit casual-leaning, scent. While some find its clean citrus suitable for the office or a refresh after sport, its sometimes potent opening and less-than-subtle nature might be too much for formal events or intimate dates.

Mutamayez

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its powerful projection and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office. It leans more towards cooler weather and nights, making it a good fit for dates or casual evenings, but it's probably too strong and distinctive for formal daytime events or sports.
