A fresh citrus explosion at the top notes (tangerine, grapefruit, lime & bergamot) is harmonized with a floral sharpness of lavender, nut, spiced notes of coriander & warm cinnamon. Carnation (along with jasmine, rose tree & pine) is restrained with warm patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, benzoin, vanilla & amber. Subtle aroma of red berries enforces the structure, adding sensuousness & characteristic to the perfume. The creator of this fragrance is Bob Slattery, & the bottle designer is Pierre Din&. Obsession for Men was launched in 1986, a year after the female version.
