It's fair to say that no high street beauty collab has whipped up more hype than Zara x Jo Malone. The renowned perfumer and founder of Jo Loves has been part of the Zara team for some time now, launching the Zara Emotions fragrance line followed by the recent Zara Rain collection, which was inspired by the beauty of raindrops and their various scents.

Fast-forward to November and Zara and Jo have joined forces once again to dream up another mesmerising range: Vibrant Cities. Starting at £15.99 for 40ml, each fragrance takes its cue from a fashion-forward metropolis, including London, New York, Seoul and Madrid among others.

In true Zara style, the bottles assume the same simple yet ultra chic appearance as previous perfumes, so they won't look out of place atop your dressing table. As fans of the last two collections, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to try the latest drop.

Here's what seven R29 staffers thought of Zara x Jo Malone Vibrant Cities.
