What do reviewers say about Vanille Tonka and Obsession?
The name promises dessert. The fragrance delivers something else entirely, dry, spicy, and smoky, with vanilla that remembers it has backbone. This is for the person who orders brandy.Vanille Tonka
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
