How long does Obsession last?

Most wearers report about 8 to 12 hours on skin, with the scent lingering longer on clothing. It projects strongly for the first few hours.

Is Obsession for day or night?

It is best for evenings, fall and winter, and special occasions. The dense vanilla, spice and amber make it heavy for hot days or the office.

How does it compare with Euphoria?

Obsession is sweeter, spicier and heavier, with a strong civet and musk base. Euphoria is fruitier and more modern, and easier to wear in daytime.

It is marketed as a women's fragrance, but the woody, spicy oriental profile appeals to some men too. The women's version is the sweeter, more floral one.

A single 1.7 oz bottle of eau de parfum spray. No travel size or lotion is included.

If you like sweet, spicy orientals and want a scent that lasts, it is a strong pick. If you prefer light, fresh fragrances, it will likely feel too heavy.
