Which Should You Buy?
Givenchy Xeryus is a divisive classic. While some pine for the vintage masterpiece and its sophisticated 80s virility, others find newer formulations to be a pale imitation of its former glory. It's a statement scent, not for the faint-hearted, oozing confident green masculinity.
Zoologist Panda (2014) is a divisive, art-house scent that demands attention with its bold, hyper-realistic green opening. It's a journey from sharp verdancy to a smoother, woody dry down, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
