Obsession...Many predicted that Obsession, like certain other scents which came to the fore in the 80s, would disappear once that decade was well behind us...
Well, the longlivity and enduring popularity of this scent has certainly confounded those critics...
It may not be quite as popular as it was, but those of us who wear it because we love it, rather than because it’s trendy, can only be pleased about that! I love Obsession because it’s a true oriental but with an interesting degree of complexity...
It also doesn’t go ’off’ or disintegrate to somewhat unpleasant base notes as some of its competitors do. I also find it tends to stay ’true’ on most skins, whereas some perfumes can alter substantially with skin chemistry...
The only downside is that much of the accompanying skin and bathcare range is overpriced and not up to the standard one would hope...
