Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nuit
Zara Nuit is a divisive little number, with reviews split between 'comforting' and 'headache-inducing play-doh'. Its powdery vanilla-amber core is either a beautiful, soft blanket or a baby-wipe nightmare, depending on your skin chemistry and olfactory preferences.
Statement
Our Verdict - Vain & Naïve
This one's a divisive fruit bomb. Some find it a 'sexy cougar' vibe, others dub it 'nauseating' or 'basic'. If you're into a morphing fruity-floral with unexpected twists, it's worth a sniff, otherwise, tread carefully.
