Therefore, there's no point owning both, IMHO. As to which one's superior, I'll leave it for you to decide (although Red Vetyver is cheaper to buy from Paris)...<BR/><BR/>TreborAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-68838533809747723292008-11-24T09:13:00.000+00:002008-11-24T09:13:00.000+00:00Oh dear and I was counting on you to tell me how i...Oh dear and I was counting on you to tell me how it went.

I intend to review Zizan at PP on Friday. The vetiver's there, but to my mind it's more of a dry woody scent with nods towards an incense feel - sitting somewhere in the spaces between Rochas Lui, Gucci pour Homme and le Labo Vetiver 46. The first of the three is perhaps the closest approximation I haveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-30391419019331239182008-11-19T18:49:00.000+00:002008-11-19T18:49:00.000+00:00Lee,wow, an early mini-review!
