Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zukhruf Black Eau de Parfum
Zimaya's Zukhruf Black is a divisive, intoxicating blend that's either a beastly clone of Sauvage Elixir or a headache in a bottle, depending on who you ask. It's a bold, spicy ride, but be warned - some find it sickeningly strong.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Khafaya Blue Eau de Parfum
Khafaya Blue is a budget-friendly spicy-woody scent - a strong performer if you're into that sort of thing. It's a bit of a gamble, with some loving its 'DSE glory' after maceration, while others find it just average, or even rancid. Definitely a polarising one.
