Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zanzibar EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Soul of Tanzania For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Zanzibar - a warm spicy fragrance led by Lemon, with citrus depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
