Which Should You Buy?
This one is truly divisive. A monstrously potent blend that provokes extreme reactions, Tyrannosaurus Rex by Zoologist is an unwearable masterpiece for some, and a terrifying assault on the senses for others. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Noir Obscur is a divisive one. Some find its dark, boozy warmth utterly captivating, a vintage-styled dream. Others, however, are left underwhelmed by its subtlety, calling it flat or too quiet. It's a love-it-or-leave-it scent for those who appreciate nuanced darkness.
