Which Should You Buy?
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.
If you're seeking dark sophistication with a unique, almost rubbery edge, Therion is a must-try. It's a scent that smells expensive and intriguing, but not for everyone.
