Which Should You Buy?
Polo Green is a legendary powerhouse - a forest in a bottle, projecting confidence and old-school masculinity with its dense blend of pine, leather, tobacco and moss.
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.
