What do reviewers say about Années Folles and Obsession for Men?
Lavender fans seeking it as an accent will want to look elsewhere. This is a lavender fragrance that puts the note front and center from opening to drydown.Années Folles
Obsession for Men is unapologetically dense. The clove and myrrh heart demands attention, and the vanilla drydown is the reason collectors still reach for this bottle decades later.Obsession for Men
