Which Should You Buy?
This is a serious, opulent gourmand for those who appreciate a rich, complex scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it perfectly balanced and others put off by a persistent 'urinal cake' incense note up close. Definitely sample before committing.
Zubenel is a beast of a gourmand - give it time to macerate and settle, and it rewards you with sophisticated, opulent chocolate. Not a crowd-pleaser, it demands a bold personality but offers an unforgettable experience.
