No.254 Obsession EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper polariser. It's got serious Sauvage Elixir vibes, but dialled up on the fruit and sweetness, making it either a brilliant, more versatile alternative or a headache-inducing synthetic mess, depending on who you ask. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.
A dupe of Calvin Klein Obsession for Men, No.254 keeps the spicy citrus-mandarin opening and warm amber-vanilla base that made the '80s original an icon, but the herbal-spice heart is thinner and the composition fades faster than the powerhouse original's marathon performance.
