Which Should You Buy?
Zafar is a polarising beast. For the uninitiated, the opening is a pure barnyard assault of funky oud. But for the confident oud-lovers who brave the strong start, a sophisticated, woody, and musky drydown awaits.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. If you're into 'barnyard' oud, this is your jam; otherwise, steer well clear. It's affordable, hardcore animalic, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
The initial challenging, barnyard oud makes Zafar unsuitable for office or casual wear where you might offend. It's best reserved for formal occasions or specific date nights where its unique character can be appreciated, though many users suggest waiting until the drydown to go out.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intensely animalic oud make it unsuitable for office wear. It could work for a daring date night or an evening event if worn lightly, but it's best suited for personal enjoyment or specific, casual settings where its boldness is appreciated, rather than for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Oud, Musky, Woody accords and Saffron, Bergamot notes
