    Real talk

    This is not a wallflower fragrance. Obsession was built to project and last, and on the right skin it does both exceptionally well. The animalic drydown is a bold throwback.Obsession
    Oscar is a declaration, not a whisper. The opening grabs attention with its unapologetic peach and gardenia richness, the heart demands notice with tuberose and jasmine, and the amber-myrrh drydown.Oscar
