Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Antidote EDP
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Craze EDP
Craze chases Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men - the warm, spicy oriental fougere of cinnamon and carnation over amber, vanilla and woods. It captures that seductive, barbershop-warm signature, but renders it flatter and lighter, with the original's rich, layered drydown simplified and projection pulled in.
