Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Obsessed EDP
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.

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition EDP
This flanker offers a compelling-yet-divisive alternative to the original L'Eau d'Issey. Prepare for an invigorating grapefruit and ginger blast backed by marine freshness. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but many reckon it's even better than the OG despite the mixed reviews.
