Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Fares Eau de Parfum
A divisive blend that promises a clean, fresh vibe, yet delivers a dated, soapy aroma reminiscent of 90s aftershaves. Expect mixed reactions; some find it a beast, others a bust, particularly the weak spray version. Stick to the oil.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Obsessed Eau de Parfum
Divisive, nostalgic, and often mistaken for its male counterpart, Obsessed is a clean musky lavender that harks back to 90s CK. It's not for everyone, with some finding it sharp and masculine, while others adore its calming, fresh profile.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear. The polarizing 'masculine' and 'aftershave' comments, along with varied longevity, pull down its suitability for dates and formal events.
