What do reviewers say about Sun and Obsession?
Powder and vanilla worn close to the skin, the talcum warmth of someone who spent the afternoon in light. Not every fragrance needs to announce itself.Sun
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
