Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Obsessed Eau de Parfum

Divisive, nostalgic, and often mistaken for its male counterpart, Obsessed is a clean musky lavender that harks back to 90s CK. It's not for everyone, with some finding it sharp and masculine, while others adore its calming, fresh profile.

Our Verdict - Master of Essence Eau de Toilette

Master of Essence is a bold, modern reinterpretation of classic leather-aromatic themes, delivering a distinctly masculine vibe without relying on tired cliches. It's a confident, everyday reach for the man who likes his fragrance to have a bit of an edge.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear. The polarizing 'masculine' and 'aftershave' comments, along with varied longevity, pull down its suitability for dates and formal events.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its versatile aromatic and citrus profile makes it suitable for most casual and semi-formal settings, with enough depth for a date. The leather and musky base might be a bit much for very formal events or high-intensity sport.
