What do reviewers say about Secret Obsession and Shiraz?
The tuberose is where this gets interesting. Not the creamy, safe kind, something with a real edge. If you want a fragrance that whispers, look elsewhere.Secret Obsession
Shiraz doesn't follow the obvious path. The opening is bright, almost polite, then the warmth shows up and plants itself. If you're looking for something that fills a room with projection and sillage.Shiraz
