Real talk
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
The civet in the base is the tell. It's the animalic warmth that makes this smell like skin, not product, and some people find that confronting. But that's also what makes it last.KL
