Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Factory Edition: Rich Santal Eau de Parfum
This is *the* Santal 33 clone everyone talks about, and for good reason. It nails the niche, expensive smell at a fraction of the price, though some hardcore fans might spot the subtle differences. It's a divisive scent, so skip the blind buy.

Our Verdict - Zaffiro Collection Crafted Oud Eau de Parfum
A divisive oud-wood clone that splits opinion down the middle. Some say it's nuclear, others that it's a skin scent. If you get a strong bottle, it's a classy scent for a steal.
