What do reviewers say about Sutra Ylang and Obsession?
Ylang-ylang is the kind of note that splits a room, tropical, almost dizzying, the scent of frangipani in humid air. Sutra Ylang doesn't hedge. It opens with spice.Sutra Ylang
Obsession doesn't invite you in, it consumes. That vanilla-civet combination is either the whole point or a dealbreaker, and the above-average longevity means whatever you decide.Obsession
