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.

Our Verdict - S'Il Vous Play Eau de Parfum

Francesca Dell'Oro's S'Il Vous Play is a complex, evolving scent that playfully balances spice, citrus, and a warm, almost gourmand sweetness. Fair warning though, if you're not into powdery drydowns or that 'gingerbread on a tree stump' vibe, it might not be for you.

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.

S'Il Vous Play Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and intriguing scent profile make it excellent for dates or casual outings where you want to stand out subtly. However, the unique, sometimes 'gingerbread-like' gourmand nuances and powdery aspects might be a bit too much for a formal setting or an office environment.
