Obsession

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on vanilla, basil and bergamot, moves through spices, sandalwood and coriander, and settles on amber, incense and vanilla.

• vanilla: sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod, custard or the smell of a kitchen mid-bake
• basil: green peppery herb, straight out of a kitchen

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
