Zukhruf Black

Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a refined, fresher take on the 'Spicebomb DNA', Hemingway delivers. It's a crowd-pleasing, smooth operator that smells of quality, though some might find it a touch too familiar or wish for stronger performance.
Zimaya's Zukhruf Black is a divisive, intoxicating blend that's either a beastly clone of Sauvage Elixir or a headache in a bottle, depending on who you ask. It's a bold, spicy ride, but be warned - some find it sickeningly strong.
