I put the tiniest of dabs at pulse points--because I'd been warned, immediately I imagine I'm in a nightclub trailing a rich indolent fragrance which turns heads, but I walk fast, so I don't see expressions.
It calms slightly, I'm in church, sandalwood incense and huge bunches of white stalk at the altar, the scents are intense, but changing-calming.
Hours pass, now writing this, I lift up my wrist, and I AM STILL WEARING A GORILLA, sitting next to a pomander.
I don't want it to stop, it's for me, and I don't care who doesn't like it.
Will I wear it tomorrow? It's an event which must be prepared for.

Great sillage but with moderate longevity.
I suggest you buy this.
Best worn during chilly weather.



I don't understand how this can be described by some as 'too sweet'. It is very unisex in my very humble opinion and perhaps has a touch of sweetness but is far from excessive. It's clearly an oriental and one that fit's in rather unnoticed when worn in the here and now, unlike the massive 'power-houses' of the decade, which can now feel heavy and old-fashioned.

In any case, the other day I stumble upon my wife's old bottle of Obsession and decided to try a little on me. I totally love it!
I'm hoping to find a scent that is labeled "for men" that is similar, because my wife will freak out if she finds me wearing a "ladies" perfume. I tend to be less worried about labels than she is.
In the meantime, I am walking thru the perfume departments at the mall enjoying all the wonderful( and sometimes nasty) scents.



It opens with a inviting and fresh note of bergamot,peach,mandarin orange and vanilla.a heart of sandalwood, iakmoss with a spice notes accord give OBSESSION a sensual and alluring scent center,complemented by a sheer vanilla and thick incense base for an added air of seduction.
This fragrance leaves a trail of unforgettable scent whether you enter or leave.It reminds me a oriental-vanilla fragrance.a must have for any special night and definitely for a femme fatale in winter months.ladies if you want a alluring scent try it.

My favorite is the amber basenote.
This is definitely a perfume for the skin, though. Skin warmth brings out the richness, whereas it smells considerably sharper if just sprayed over clothing.
