SpicyWhat does Obsidian Gold smell like?
It opens fresh, fruity and citrusy with apple, bergamot and lemon. In the heart, heliotrope, lily of the valley and clove add a floral, spicy softness. The base of gaiac wood, sandalwood, patchouli and caramel settles into a sweet, creamy and woody ground, with oriental and gourmand tones coming forward.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. It reads equally well on men and women, with a sweet, woody character. Dumo Luxury Perfume Commodus and Al Haramain Détour Noir have a close profile.
