Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Obsession for Men Eau de Toilette

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.

Statement

Our Verdict - Lapidus Eau de Parfum

Lapidus Pour Homme: a true 80s powerhouse. It's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its audacious blend of honey and masculinity, or you'll recoil from its unapologetic vintage roar. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it's a masterpiece.

Season and Occasion Fit

Obsession for Men Eau de Toilette

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.

Lapidus Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

This is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could easily overwhelm. Its bold, masculine character and sensual honey-tobacco notes lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it too 'old-school' for modern palates. It's a bit much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.
