    What do reviewers say about Secret Obsession and Varens Original Oriental Night?

    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
    Pierre Bourdon's involvement behind this fragrance is significant. What could have been another generic oriental becomes something distinct. The oud here is warm wood, smooth and rich.Varens Original Oriental Night
