Obsidian
Fragrance notes
Character
Obsidian opens with a bright mix of passionfruit, strawberry, grapefruit, pineapple and tangerine. The citrus provides a sharp edge while the strawberry and passionfruit lean into a ripe, sugary character. This first impression is loud and cheerful, immediately announcing a fragrance built around fruit rather than flowers or wood. It feels designed for immediate impact, with the tangerine adding a zesty lift that keeps the opening from feeling flat.
The heart introduces jasmine, vanilla orchid, red berries and peony. The jasmine and peony add a soft white floral layer that sits underneath the fruit, while the vanilla orchid bridges the gap between the sweet top notes and the berries. The red berries reinforce the sugary theme without adding new dimensions. The composition stays firmly in the fruity and sweet accords, with the floral elements playing a supporting role.
The drydown simplifies to musk, which pulls the fragrance toward a clean, skin-like finish. The fruit and floral notes do not disappear completely but they lose their individual shapes, blending into a generalized sweet warmth. The musk is smooth and light, lacking the depth of wood or amber. Without a heavier base, the scent remains in a narrow band of fresh and fruity tones from start to finish.
Obsidian is a daytime scent that suits warm, bright settings where a playful mood is welcome. It works best for someone who enjoys straightforward fruit and does not mind a composition that stays close to its opening theme. The limitation here is the narrow range of expression. It offers little contrast or evolution beyond its core sweetness, which can feel one-dimensional for those who prefer more complex layers.
