I'm a late comer to the whole Zaharoff line, knowing more about the man and all the surroundings of the brand, community stuff etc...than the fragrances themselves, so it's about time the arbiter got aquainted. At best they are none trendy, pleasantly wearable, Men's bizz backed by proper industry F&F company, and at worst slightly fucking boring, but hey I'll take that over bandwagon hopping and smelling of bubblegum any day of the week. So Signature Pour Homme is probably the most appealing of the ones I've tried so far, soapy, blokey, lavender and peppered with herbal spice in the top notes smells like all spice anise or absynth or something? very lightly dosed and makes for a well blended composition. The fougere warmth doesn't really come from sweet, or hay like coumarin (thus avoiding a bit trope there) and is instead provided by a kind of oud base/black agar smelling thing, which kinda is a bit of a trope but hey I resepct the style of the brand and I think this is a wearable effort.
