Eden Perfumes No.254 Obsession is an Eau de Parfum. No.254 Obsession opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Red Fruits, Pine, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Eden Perfumes's No.254 Obsession carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.254 goes after Calvin Klein Obsession for Men's warm, spicy oriental signature - a fragrance built in the maximalist '80s mould and still beloved for it. Cinnamon and coriander lead the top alongside mandarin and bergamot, with Eden's own tasting notes calling out the mandarin as especially prominent - a brighter, more citrus-forward take than the original's denser spice bomb opening. Lavender and grapefruit add lift. The heart brings myrrh, carnation, pine and sage together for a herbal-spicy effect that nods to the original's incense-like complexity without quite matching its density - jasmine and red berries soften the edges with a touch of sweetness. The base is where the resemblance is strongest: amber, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and patchouli combine into a warm, resinous drydown that captures the original's confident, slightly retro character. Performance is above average for the genre but doesn't match Obsession's legendary all-day projection, so a heavier hand at application helps. This suits anyone nostalgic for '80s power fragrances or drawn to warm, spicy orientals for cooler months and evening wear.
