Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Extreme EDP

This one's a modern classic, divisive only by its weaker current formulation. The vintage was a beast and still represents understated elegance for those who know; newer batches still deliver the sophisticated tea-and-citrus freshness, just with less brawn.

Our Verdict - Zaad EDP

A divisive freshie, Zaad splits opinion straight down the middle. Some hail it as a versatile, sophisticated masterpiece, while others dismiss it as a generic, overpriced copy of Platinum Egoiste with a weak drydown. Try before you buy, but expect a clean, green barbershop vibe.
