Stylish intimate satin ~ Vanilla ~ Leather
First you can perceive an intense and powerful sweet ethereal, subtle herbaceous minty note, accompanied by a sweet green nuance and owed to the 'absinthe' and 'tangerine'.

These two notes are surrounded by a note reminiscent of energy drink and also carried, which appears quite sugary, but I'm here of the opinion that the already at the beginning perceivable inkling ensures that this is a pleasant, even a little fresh acting sweetness and I accordingly also 'Energy - Drink', instead of Gurana suspected.
A little later, an incredible bright, reminiscent of lily of the valley creamy, almost powder puff-like note is perceived, which exudes a very subtle freshly tart shaving cream-like train and is underpinned by a distinctive herbaceous nuance and gives the fragrance the certain satinaura and comes from the 'fir balsam' in interaction with the 'sage'.
The whole heart note is enclosed by a very beautiful light brown scented smooth supple lovely creamy bourbon~ vanilla ~ leather' that gives the fragrance a very interesting transparent powdery veil and makes it radiate an extremely delicate stylish intimacy.
What lingers in the last 3 hours is a balsamic-like, milk chocolate-scented 'benzoin' ~ hint.
Normally, I draw in my fragrance comments no scent comparisons, because I always consider the fragrance as itself, even if traits, etc. seem familiar to me, but with Dark Obsession I would like to make an exception, because I could get to know this exactly identical Duftaura and that could perhaps open old wounds with some, until now only with the *Givenchy Insensé* thanks to "Turandot".

"So Habt'a didd jetz' allt together? - Yes? - Nice!

And now imagine to the whole fragrance composition 55% of the reason ~ deoxyribonucleic acid of Mister Calvin Klein's Obsession and didd Erjebnis is': Dark Obsession!" :-) ...

... and wish all people uff this world 'n juenutsch into the new year; May all their dreams and wishes jeh'n in fulfillment, 'ne?!"

'White Vetiver' I perceive as a freshly tart component in the heart note, but could not name it.

Overall, the fragrance lasts 7.5 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed from the beginning 3.5 hours to a very noticeable whole arm's length, before it minimizes in quiet steps until the fading of the fragrance.

"Thanks for the bottling, Honk1510!"

After Eight in a black Bottle
It really takes getting used to at first.
Green, immature mandarin with absinthe. So green-boozy. One could almost fear a gag reflex.

I thought to myself: "No, please, not another blind mistake!?"

Wrong thinking. A few minutes later a resinous freshness with vetiver comes into play. The fragrance is still mixed undecidedly wild.

Finally he comes to the base. A chocolate mint mixture with vanilla that remains freshly sweet and spicy. Leather swings discreetly in the background.

Definitely a sweet gourmand, but the sweetness is really subtle. After 20-30 minutes it smells similar to After Eight.

Give him a try!

This smells absolutely fantastic! It has a really dark vibe to it and I love it. Great for a vanilla and leather enthusiast for daily wear.

A little better than the 'classy' evening colognes like Armani Code or D&G The One, but it's no YSL L'H De La Nuit. Enjoyable but ordinary.
