I’ve been wearing this perfume for over 30 years and it’s still my favourite. Not a flowery scent, more spicy.. I’ve been gifted some very expensive perfumes over the years but this is the only one that people comment on. I’ve had people stopping me to ask what my perfume is. Men and women. That’s all the validation I need.
The fragrance is sweet and warm, it doesn't suffocate and lasts a long time. Its final note is reminiscent of powder. It leans more towards being unisex. It reminded me of a scent from my childhood. It was released when I was just five years old. It feels like I've heard it from someone older. I won't buy the full version because I want something more modern.
Long-lasting and intriguing, these fragrances have a more masculine vibe, suitable for both men and women over 45, in my opinion. Perhaps if I try them in a different way, I might appreciate them more. Currently, they are not my preferred scent as they feel heavy and overwhelming.
The fragrance is classy, perfect for daring admirers of bitterness, spicy herbs, and frankincense.
The scent is warm, slightly sweet, with a hint of spice. It reminds me of cinnamon and a touch of pine, but in a gentle way. I would classify it as old-school. I believe those who appreciate classics will enjoy it during the cold season.
Personally, I find the scent to be very strong and bitter, reminiscent of the 80s. It reminds me of perfumes my grandmother used to wear, definitely not my style, it even makes me feel a bit nauseous. However, it is very long-lasting and has a strong sillage. It's a pity that the scent didn't suit me.
The fragrance is not sharp, except for the first few minutes after spraying. It has a cologne and fir tree scent, but it also gives me the feeling of a fresh fir tree brought into the house. However, after that, I can't smell it anymore. BUT... after a couple of days, I wore a sweater with it... and wow, it has a sweet and cool spicy scent. My mom says I smell like aromatic spices and clay, all of that. For the price of 100ml, it was great. I bought it just because of the promotion, 1000 UAH for 100ml. If you like non-basic scents, then go for it. At first, it may seem "scary," but even my mom says, "there's something else smelling in the room." But if anyone needs alternatives, write here with the brands you want. All brands are available.
I really liked the perfume. It's perfect for those who enjoy a strong scent.
I love these types of scents. It starts off sharp, but quickly transforms into a beautiful retro powder with flowers and pine. It is absolutely unisex. Long-lasting! It may not suit everyone! It is better to test it out.
I have been using Amway perfumes for many years. Unfortunately, the company has stopped selling them in Ukraine. I tried to find something similar that wouldn't cost a fortune and wouldn't be worse. These perfumes remind me of "Ansestry". At first, they were also "nuclear" for me, but then I got used to the scent of fir trees and mandarins. They are long-lasting, the main thing is not to overdo it. They are purely winter scents. Plus points to the company for fast delivery.
For such a price - grab it and run :) I really love it, but I want to say that it is for lovers of bitterness and a light spicy note in fragrances. The spice or oriental note is not sharp, not salty, and actually slightly sweet or warm, and closer to the base. At the beginning, there is a bitter aroma of citrus peel and green notes, slightly sweet and warm, and the spices and oakmoss in the heart of the fragrance give it a unisex quality, reminiscent of men's perfumes. It's not a floral scent, and not cool, although the bitterness at the beginning may seem cool. And when it fully unfolds - it is warm and cozy, like a cup of hot tea. It is perfect and long-lasting for cool weather.
Wonderful fragrance, quite long-lasting. Now it's my favorite. The delivery was fast, thank you.
I am extremely satisfied! The fragrance is marvelous, and the delivery was fast!
An excellent representation of spicy and aromatic fragrances, this perfume is very dry and has a strong spiciness without unnecessary sweetness. It immediately reminds you of the old school with its multidimensionality, brightness, and intensity, which may initially seem more masculine, but by modern standards, it is unisex. It also sits perfectly on men's skin, as my husband carries a bottle and is convinced it is a men's fragrance. In general, we both wear it together. I definitely recommend it to those who are looking for vibrant, spicy, warming, and non-trivial scents.
I am once again convinced that I do not recommend buying unfamiliar perfume based on comments. The scent is neither feminine nor unisex at all. It smells like an older man, maybe around 55 years old. So I will give it to my father if he likes it...
This fragrance is absolutely luxurious! I always rely on my intuition and it has never let me down... even when it comes to perfumes. It's a unisex scent, but still leans more towards the feminine side. In short, it's amazing! It lasts a long time and is worth the price. For those who appreciate unique scents, this is exactly what you need. The delivery was, as always, fast. Thank you!
The scent is reminiscent of retro powder. It is very long-lasting and has a trail. However, it can be overpowering in closed spaces. Perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
The perfume is luxurious. I have bought it for myself for the fourth time. I have gifted it to all my friends. Everyone is thrilled. Initially, the scent was unclear. I could smell pine and wood, then various undertones of fragrances, and finally vanilla. In short, for the price, I haven't found anything better to date. The service is always top-notch. Thank you.
The scent is amazing! Everything about it, from the aroma to the trail it leaves behind, and its longevity, is fantastic! It is perfect for those who appreciate subtle, sweet, and luxurious fragrances. I am extremely grateful to the store for their excellent service and fast delivery!
My impressions: a unisex fragrance! One hundred percent! Very spicy! Interesting and long-lasting! On my icy skin, not much stays well, but I surely waited for cool weather and can say that it sits well! I have already experimented with it, it opens up more on hot skin, but even on very cold skin during the cold season, it is good! I bought it for my collection, but I will use it! Not retro! But something... Like a "masculine" note, I can hear it, but it doesn't spoil it. I am very happy that I have it!
If this perfume were released now, it would be niche. However, such fragrances are not currently being produced. It is a beautiful winter scent.
Love at first spritz. At first, the scent is sharp and bitter, but then it becomes soft and enveloping. It is very, very long-lasting and leaves a trail. The patchouli scent lingers on clothes even after washing, and it stayed on my hair for 2 days.
This fragrance, despite being from 1985, has a modern sound. You can feel it in the ingredients. It has a contemporary gourmet scent. Try applying it to a cotton pad and placing it in the room, then smell the trail from a distance - it has absolutely nothing to do with the 80s. You can find a similar sound in modern niche fragrances. I can easily imagine it on a man who wears sweet scents. I purchased the 30ml size.
Legend. Nothing better will ever offer luxury.
At first, it smells like grandma's triple cologne, then cinnamon + whiskey. This is my favorite winter scent, but I think it's not quite long-lasting, or maybe I just can't smell it anymore. So to speak, I've become one with it.
I love purchasing this fragrance for the winter season. However, my latest purchase was highly disappointing, unfortunately... It smells like medicine, some kind of chemicals... The bottle and appearance seem the same, but there's something off... It feels like a waste of money.
I didn't buy it here, but I would like to write a review about the perfume itself. I must say that you definitely shouldn't buy it blindly without testing it, like I did. I ordered it online, and as soon as I opened it, it seemed to me that it was of poor quality or simply old and faded. I was very disappointed. I tried wearing it occasionally, but it didn't work for me... (I don't like light and sweet scents.) Now I'm in search of something new and unusual. And here, after standing on the shelf for two years, I started sniffing this fragrance again. And there's something about it that's so captivating. In short, after two years of owning it, I started liking them. But the scent is very intense and long-lasting, so one spray will be enough. I felt suffocated with two sprays, maybe that's why I didn't appreciate the entire fragrance right away.
It smells like a fairytale! As if I opened Grandma's treasure chest. The initial notes are resinous and quite sharp, then I distinctly heard anise, and afterwards, a delicious powder remained. Definitely a winter perfume. I think we should become friends.
Simply awful. They reek unbelievably of cologne.
I ordered this perfume blindly after reading numerous reviews. I didn't detect any scent resembling the smell of goats, burning tires, grandma's wardrobe, or particularly masculine cologne, which some dissatisfied ladies had mentioned. I sat next to the birthday girl and occasionally inhaled this fragrance. At the beginning, I felt like I was transported to a freshly mowed grass field after rain in the summer. After an hour, the scent of chocolate, rum, vanilla, and some flowers started to emerge. For a total of 4 hours, I distinctly felt a powdery-spicy trail. The scent is very feminine, multifaceted, and definitely not retro. Many thanks to Makeup for the fast delivery, despite the difficulties of shipping during wartime. I bought the tester for a small amount of money, and the batch code 1174 on the box and at the bottom of the bottle matched, indicating that it was produced on June 23, 2021. It's 100% original. The birthday girl was thrilled with the gift. I wish everyone a peaceful sky!
This is a wonderful, spicy, warm, and cozy fragrance. It is perfect for the autumn-winter period, as it would sound strange and out of place during spring-summer. It is also very long-lasting.
The store worked well, and the delivery was as always pleasing. The scent... needs to be allowed to settle before testing. It is very lingering, spicy, even a bit overwhelming. I will try to become friends with it during the cold season.
Magical scent! Soft and cozy. I'm glad I came across it.
I will supplement my review from a year ago because I am amazed by the transformations in the sound of Obsession. I rarely used it, it sat for almost a year, not that I didn't like it, but I didn't feel any special love for it, just a festive, spicy-vanilla scent. Now, in the heat of +30 degrees and humidity like in the jungle, when applied spontaneously, it revealed something unimaginable: crushed fresh grass, ripe leaves, pine needles, coriander, cardamom, spicy-basil, all seasoned with vanilla, not overly sweet, and with a background of oak - probably the bark. If you listen carefully, there are some animal notes, in this case - pure cat fur. Sensual, languid, deep, impossible to get enough of, I spray it at home and enjoy it. Whether it's the temperature or the year of aging, I don't know, but I'm considering getting a second bottle. I'm writing this so that those who didn't like it immediately can take their time. Just like me.
How wonderful it is! Spices, frankincense, and amber - a shimmering diamond, its fragrances can drive you crazy! Incredibly long-lasting. I got 100 ml for a very cool price on makeup, thank you for the fast delivery from the EU!
I am glad that I managed to buy this perfume at a VERY good price! Thank you, makeup) But the scent itself seems to be nothing but constant church incense on me... I can't say that I dislike it or find it unpleasant, it's just strange somehow))) I will wait for colder weather, let the perfume settle)
I ordered out of curiosity. I liked the scent, although it's from the past, I definitely recognized it. In the first minute, I smelled a tire odor, but it was pleasant, then vanilla came through, and the bottle is very interesting. Thank you for the promptness!
I received it, sprayed it, and heard one note of cinnamon. I gave it to my husband, convincing him that it was a masculine scent. He liked it. After a day, one spray again and it's MINE again. It's alive! Each time it sounds different. Always wonderful. I love it! Makeup, as always, is top-notch. Thank you.
Today at work, I received my order (I got the 30ml size because I didn't know the scent). I opened the bottle and sprayed a little bit... My colleagues immediately described it as "masculine, strong, and heavy," but after 10 minutes, everyone was raving about it and liking it. The scent unfolded, there is a hint of strength and spices, but it's all quite gentle and pleasant.
I received my first bottle just a week ago, and I have already ordered a second one! It unfolds on my skin in such a magical way, like nothing else! The depth of its scent on my skin surpasses any other perfume I have tried. When I apply it on my wrists and inhale, it breathes with me, like a living thing, changing its fragrance with every inhale and exhale. It's another scent of nature coming alive. If Truth is the smell of freshly cut green grass with wildflowers by the water, then Obsession is the magic of a deep ancient impenetrable forest, heated by the blazing sun, so dense and thick that the sun rays cannot pass through the foliage to reach the ground... and with the first spray of this perfume, I am transported into this forest, surrounded by lush grass and an old tree covered in sun-warmed leaves! And there is incense, lots of incense... it's mine! That's why another bottle of this enchanting potion is on its way to me.
I bought this fragrance based on the reviews, and I am not disappointed. The scent is truly long-lasting and has a great sillage.
As for the composition itself, it is a fragrance unlike any other! It is difficult for me to describe the impression of this scent. At first, it is very sharp and even unpleasant, but after a few minutes, it starts to transform into something softer, like a bud that gradually fills with scent and varies throughout the day. This fragrance seems to come alive!
In the morning, it is a bit sharp and "aggressive," during the day, it is intense and self-assured, and in the evening, it becomes sensual with romantic notes. This fragrance is not for those who prefer lightness and floral freshness, so it's better not to risk buying it without testing it first.
Often, women are associated with cats, but when enjoying this perfume, I feel like a she-wolf: confident, determined, untamed, sensual, and in control of my destiny and life! I know I have written a lot, but these are just a fraction of the emotions I feel!
One thing that slightly saddened me is that this fragrance seems a bit suffocating and heavy in the cold season. In spring and summer, it feels a bit overpowering.
A big thank you to the employees of MK for their excellent work and fast delivery!
I had been considering it for a while, read some reviews, and finally decided to buy it. I'm very satisfied. The scent is EXTREMELY long-lasting, it may be a bit sharp at first, but the final note is amazing! Thank you for the great service and the gift.
In addition to my previous review, I would like to mention that the fragrance is very versatile and it sounds different every time. Yesterday, I applied it and entered the room where my 14-year-old son was. He said I smelled like chewing gum, even though he had never noticed any of my perfumes before. That's the power of Obsession for you!
I chose this fragrance based solely on reviews and descriptions, and I must say I am delighted. The scent is enchanting, rich, and spicy, with incredible longevity. However, I would advise those who prefer fresh and light fragrances to try it before purchasing, as this scent is not for everyone. Personally, I am in love with it.
There is no doubt about the quality and authenticity. 5 stars. Fast delivery. The gift was a pleasant surprise, thank you :) Highly recommended.
I liked the scent, but it is not long-lasting! It only lasts for about an hour. Honestly, I doubt its authenticity. I am disappointed.
These are the exact perfumes I was expecting. I wanted to reminisce about those times. It sounds just like most perfumes of those times, and if you want to feel nostalgic, this is it. It might seem outdated and too heavy to some. You need to be careful when wearing it - just one spray is enough. It has a long-lasting, expensive scent. I like wearing it in cool weather. In my opinion, it lacks sweetness and lightness for hot weather. The delivery was fast, thank you Makeup for the service and gifts!
An evening sensual fragrance. The coriander is a bit loud at first, but later it softens and leaves a wonderful trail on the hair for a couple of days. I don't apply it on my body because I have a young child who doesn't appreciate perfumes yet.
This is not the first time I have blind ordered perfume. This fragrance was no exception. After studying the pyramid, I had high expectations, but I didn't expect to receive so much! It is a magnificent and complex scent. It is a fragrance that is a year older than me, yet it plays and sounds without any hint of retro. You have to be careful with it - never pour it on yourself, never apply it to clothes or hair. Only on the body. Then it will gratefully resonate on you with all its beauty.
Thank you! I have known this fragrance for a long time, but it was impossible to find it. You have made my dream come true! The scent is simply magical! And the delivery was very fast!
