Unger, you are absolutely correct on both points. I have owned both aromatique and imperiale. They are both nice and strong scents. We may never see them again released, unfortunately.

How is this Zenith synthetic?


Zenith synth is a wonderful brush. Very good backbone, soft edges, no funky smell, it dries up relatively quickly.
But, I must admit, I have no experience with other brushes, never used a badger / boar / horse, so I'm not very objective Smile
I love my Zenith synth

Are you thinking on buying one ?
