Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Beaute Noire EDT
This one's a proper head-turner, divisive as hell but with a loyal following. It's either 'love it' or 'what the bloody hell is that?', so wear it if you're bold enough to stand out from the crowd.

Season and Occasion Fit

Obsessed for Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and versatile, pleasant scent profile make it suitable for office and casual daytime wear, especially given its general crowd-pleasing nature. The sweet and warm amber-vanilla dry down, with decent longevity, lends itself well to date nights, though its less formal character makes it less ideal for formal occasions.

Beaute Noire

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and rich, gourmand character, this is best reserved for evenings and special occasions. It makes a statement, so save it for when you want to be noticed, rather than an everyday wear at the office.
