Obsessed opens with a sharp burst of blood orange and sour cherry before settling into a thick, sweet wave of honey and gardenia. It is a heavy fragrance built for cold winter nights, where its sugary base of caramel and vanilla clings to wool coats. On the skin, the white florals add a clean edge that prevents the sticky sweetness from becoming completely suffocating. This is a bold choice for anyone who loves intense gourmand profiles. If you prefer light, fresh colognes, this will be too dense, but lovers of syrup-drenched chypres will find it satisfying.
