What does Obsessed for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn mainly for leisure, daily use and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Most voters find it masculine, with a share calling it modern.

It opens with black cardamom, Sichuan pepper and sweetie, spicy with a light fruity edge. Blond leather, labdanum and cedar leaf give the heart a woody body. Patchouli, ambrox and vanilla sweeten the base as it dries; the overall impression is fresh, sweet and slightly synthetic.
