Real talk
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
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
