Which Should You Buy?
Divisive but adored by its fans, Zefiro is a masterful blend of ancient church incense and modern Italian flair. Not a blind buy, but if it clicks, it's a showstopper.
A brighter, more approachable incense offering that's surprisingly cheerful. Some find its longevity a let-down, especially considering the price, but those who love it, really love it. It's a fresh take on a classic idea, though perhaps not groundbreaking.

While its uniqueness and moderate sillage might suit some creative office environments, Zefiro's bold incense and wine notes are more fitting for evening events, special occasions, or a classy casual outing. It's not a typical 'freshie' for sport or a discreet office choice, often being described as 'regal' or 'old money'.
