Real talk
This one surprised me. The black pepper and cardamom opening is aggressive in the best way, but the rose heart and vanilla drydown turn it into something you actually want to sleep in.Runaway
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
