Which Should You Buy?
This isn't a complex beast, but it doesn't need to be. Zanzibar brings a clean, understated elegance to the table, proving that classic can still feel fresh and utterly wearable.
No.645 follows Aesop's Marrakech Intense with a spiced cardamom-clove opening over rose, jasmine and neroli, settling into sandalwood and cedar. The smoky, spicy character comes through well, though it's rendered a shade flatter and less resinous than Aesop's original.
