Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Obsession for Men EDT
A spicy amber powerhouse that bottles eighties masculinity with unapologetic warmth, richness, and sillage. Not for the faint of heart or the modern minimalist, but an iconic, nostalgic statement for cold nights.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Craze EDP
Craze chases Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men - the warm, spicy oriental fougere of cinnamon and carnation over amber, vanilla and woods. It captures that seductive, barbershop-warm signature, but renders it flatter and lighter, with the original's rich, layered drydown simplified and projection pulled in.

Season and Occasion Fit

Obsession for Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The dense warm spicy, amber, and woody structure makes it best for chilly fall and winter weather, while its aromatic and citrus highlights allow for limited wear in temperate spring. It is far too heavy and sweet for summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its bold sillage and vintage richness fit best for evening, dates, or cozy settings. It's too attention-grabbing and heavy for most office or sporty situations, but can work for formal events in cold weather.

Seasons

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its sensual, bold character suits evenings, dates and cozy occasions more than the office or sport.
