I voted Zino, which is outstanding, but both Carons are among my favourites. Loewe is the less special for my taste.

I voted Zino. But Yatagan and L'Anarchiste are very good also. I would not recommend Esencia Loewe.

Out of those listed, I would pick Zino. Yatagan is also very good, but Zino is darker and more interesting.

Yatagan and L'Anarchiste are both excellent but Zino would still be my choice.

Zino is very "busy" and rich. It can overwhelm those who are not used to these kinds of frags. I have to avoid the top notes and only spray once or else I can't wear it. Also, the cedar wood and amber base is strong, so you have to like that. I don't, in general, but find that the addition of the tobacco notes tones it down enough to make it wearable (when I'm in the mood). The others I find are not as interesting or wearable.

Since you wanna gamble & suggested more than one, my suggestions :

-Zino Davidoff
-L'anarchiste by Caron

of course it isn't a HUGE gamble but waiting should give you a lil adrenaline shot to work with.

I have no experience with the Loewe so I cannot say, but the other three are not fragrances that I think you should buy blind.
They are very distinctive scents which people either love or hate. Just my two cents.

I went with L'Anarchiste, which to me is a nice spice and woods scent. I'm not too fond of the smell of Yatagan. Just not my preference or what I would want to smell like. I do admire its uniqueness and quality, though.

My advice too is not to blind buy, BUT - I really like to experiment and I sometimes do blindbuys as long it's not too expensive.

Zino gets my vote any day!

I am only sorry I could not vore for both Esencia Loewe and Zino, since I'd pick either one of these stunning, unique powerhouse frags

I love both of the Carons on your list, but you should pick up the Zino as a blind right away because it has been discontinued. You can grab the Carons later.
