Picked up the Belcam Obsession today and it IS nice. Christmassy indeed. Not quite cinnamon but warm.He does make a convincing argument. I have the Belcam and it really is great. POTENT! I can smell it on my jacket the next day.

howdy y’all!
Is it okay to wear just cologne instead of aftershaves ?
There is definitely something 'Christmassy' about Obsession for Men. The most recent formulation, which I own, is very heavy on cinnamon and I can also make out some pine in there too. It's supposed to also have tangerine in the top notes.ah, thanks. I was on a very slow Android tablet at the time ...
It's almost a shame that such close copies can be made, kind of like Disney copyrights getting ripped off ... but a lot of us can't spring $350 for Tom Ford's F Fabulous, etc.
That said, I wanted to pick up Obsession (supposed to be Christmassy), and at $23 for the real one vs. $8 for the Classic Match, think I can afford the real one.

Made the mistake of trying Anthracite and loved it! Have to play the Lotto...I'm in the yes, just wear cologne camp if it's just for scent...
Tom Ford - Noir Anthracite. I think if you're appreciating boldly masculine scents this is worth a sample.

Nice! My go-to when I was in the Navy, the early 90's powerhouse stuff!
Halston Z-14 just might be my new holiday scent..
A fine cinnaminny thing, though short-lived (as are most these days). $, as well.

Hrrrmph..failed the Lady test..way too much cinnamon for her (she bakes a LOT), though I read that vintage up to 2011ish is still an oakmoss bomb that puts the cinnamon in the trunk instead of being the driver of Z-14..so maybe I will re-try with the vintage..and if that's a bust, well, at least I gave it a shot..(I really wanna like it, you know how that goes..) I got it for $10 bucks at Marshall's.
She only wants me to wear Polo!

I just got a bottle of the vintage stuff (Jeff Gordon era) on the bay. It definitely is an "oakmoss bomb that puts the cinnamon in the trunk." At less than $15 shipped for 1 oz, it's still cheaper than a lot of other less worthy stuff out there IMHO.
