What do reviewers say about Obsidian and Santal 33?
Violet and saffron is not a combination you see coming. Most people don't catch it at all. Those who do, they lean in. If you've been curious about Scentologia's more demanding side.Obsidian
This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
