Which Should You Buy?
This is an absolute classic. Forget the modern reformulations - hunt down an original vintage bottle for that true, opulent 80s glamour. It's a statement piece, not a wallflower, and utterly unforgettable.
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.
