Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spice D'Arno Extrait
Don't let the name fool you - Spice D'Arno is a vanilla-heavy, creamy, and undeniably unique creation, not a spicebomb. It's a divisive one, polarising with its prominent bran note and soft personality, but for those who get it, it's a stunner.
Statement
Our Verdict - Obsessed for Men EDT
Obsessed for Men is divisive - some love its modern sweetness and versatility, others find it generic and lacking punch. It's a crowd-pleasing scent for those who enjoy contemporary synthetic vanilla and amber, but don't expect a groundbreaking experience or an homage to the original Obsession.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter
