Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Blend Bourbon Eau de Parfum
This one's a crowd-pleaser, a proper date-night stunner that’ll have everyone asking what you're wearing. Ignore the odd grumble about a plasticky note; the sillage is pure magic people are willing to fork out for.
Acquired
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.
