Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tyrannosaurus Rex Eau de Parfum
This one is truly divisive. A monstrously potent blend that provokes extreme reactions, Tyrannosaurus Rex by Zoologist is an unwearable masterpiece for some, and a terrifying assault on the senses for others. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Shem Eau de Parfum
This is a bold, divisive beast. Shem demands attention with its unique, challenging blend of leathery rose and earthy notes. Not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its powerful, sophisticated aura.
