Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zaad
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.

Our Verdict - Koala
Koala is a surprisingly divisive Zoologist scent, ranging from 'cat piss' to 'pure happiness'. Expect a battle royale between therapeutic eucalyptus and a clean, fresh musk. It's often described as a 'safe' Zoologist, but that depends entirely on your skin chemistry.
