Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, discontinued chypre that continues to captivate. Ellipse is a rare find, coveted by those who adore its bold, green character and the timeless elegance it exudes. It's a statement scent, pure and simple.
Zoologist Panda (2014) is a divisive, art-house scent that demands attention with its bold, hyper-realistic green opening. It's a journey from sharp verdancy to a smoother, woody dry down, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Given its powerful, classic chypre profile and often-noted strong presence, Ellipse is best reserved for formal events or evening wear. It's too assertive for a casual office setting, but perfect for making a sophisticated statement on a date or at a grand occasion.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its powerful green opening and strong projection make it less suitable for formal or office settings, where it might be overwhelming. However, its fresh, clean character makes it great for casual wear or outdoor activities, particularly in warmer weather.
