Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Obsession EDT
A magnetic, historic powerhouse - Obsession is one of the definitive ambery orientals, radiating heat, sensuality, and a provocative, animalic depth. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.571 Obsession EDP
Inspired by Calvin Klein Obsession, No.571 captures the vanilla-peach opening and resinous amber-incense base of the 1985 original well, though the civet's animalic edge is softened considerably, giving a cleaner, less feral drydown than the vintage powerhouse it's chasing.
