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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Insight Valley - 2553 EDP
Insight Valley is Perfume Parlour's bi-fusion aimed at Gissah's Imperial Valley and Louis Vuitton's Imagination, blending Imperial Valley's citrus-oud-leather backbone with Imagination's bright, aromatic freshness. It's a reasonable middle ground between the two references but, as a blend of two originals, doesn't fully replicate either one on its own.

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.
