What do reviewers say about L'Aimant and Obsession?
Aldehydes divide the room, and that's the point. This is powder in the French sense: not dusty, but sun-warmed. Rose and jasmine over wood. If you've ever wanted to know what your grandmother smelled.L'Aimant
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
