Which Should You Buy?
Al-Khat is the definition of a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, with its intensely animalic oud and indolic jasmine splitting opinions down the middle. This is a powerful, uncompromising scent for those who dare to be different, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
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.
