What does Obsession for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions, though it also works for leisure. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters call it masculine, and some call it classic.
The top opens with lime, bergamot and lavender, while cinnamon and coriander add spice. Clove, nutmeg and sage lead the heart, and vanilla, amber and patchouli settle into a sweet, resinous warmth at the base. It dries down powdery and oriental.
