    Obelisk seems to be what would happen if you mixed together Must de Cartier and YSL Opium. I have never smelled CK Obsession in my life but people do say it smells like a lot like Must de Cartier so swap those if you need to when you’re imagining the smell. All of them share so much in the notes that it’s impossible to deny the resemblance. I can smell the incense of Opium in this although it’s not in the notes. There is definitely smoke here. It’s no wonder this is from 1985. It’s got the same DNA as all those orientals from around that time. The bottle and box are such throwbacks, they look dated and I love it. Makes you wanna spray this all over your room and listen to Siouxie and the Banshees. This rich amber color is such a selling point to me. It immediately makes me want to check it out. I’ll be wearing it a lot this autumn/winter.

    This fragrance reminds me of our Santorini and Crete trip last June 2016. The Hotel we stayed at smelled like this. Actually, when we were back from that trip, I told my husband I wanna get a perfume that smells like our Greece trip. A few months later, there was a woman who walked by me and I smelled this on her. I automatically asked her what perfume she’s wearin. She said Obelisk. So I searched it on the net and found out it is from MCM. 🙂 So happy I finally have this and everytime I wanna remember the Santorini air, I spray this on.

    There are 2 types of bottles for “Obelisk”: the one that looks like in the picture above and the other one in shape of real obelisk. I am not sure if they are similar or not, i guess the more simplier version is the later reformulation and the obelisk bottle is the original version, since a pure parfum is presented in “obelisk” shape as well. By the way this fragrance lost it´s “Obelisk” name and was simply “MCM” inbetween, so i guess the version pictured above in the avatar is the latest version of them all. And this one i actually have (it has a bar code and a list of allergens printed on the box, so i am most certain that the version i am writing about is the latest reformulation).
    Well, what can i say about the fragrance? I see that people have compared it to “Obsession” by CK and “KL pour femme” by Lagerfeld, but to my nose it is none of them all. It is actually so unique smell, that i can´t even put a finger on something similar in my collection. Yes, it is oriental; yes, it is spicy and yes, it is chemical. At least to my nose. Starts off very very sharp and literally the kind of smell of bug spray. That sharp nasty smell is very dominanting. I would describe it as a freshly lacquered wood panel smell. Somehow i get a feeling of a nutmeg in it. It is just an impression and i guess the combination of the notes of thyme and galdbanum.
    There is sooooo much going on in here. I tell you honestly, that i strongly disliked it for the first 10 -15 minutes, then it became more softer but still not very pleasant to my nose and now 1 hour later it finally became more pleasant. Yes, it is very balmy and spicy, still a very strong thyme note, now more woody and i finally smell peachy undertone. Oh, i get it!!! It´s benzoin, that gives that synthetic feeling to the perfume in general.
    Not a warm weather perfume, i guess quite good for a humid weather and of course a great find for northern autumn and winter. It is indeed unique and now i really want to try the vintage version of it, i guess it would be less synthetic and absolutly fabulous.
    Lasting power is several hrs (modern EDP) and huge sillage in the beginning (SOS!!) but more softer towards the end.
    SOMETHING DIFFERENT. NOT YOUR TYPICAL ORIENTAL, THIS ONE IS AN ORIENATL WITH TWIST!
    The version i have reviewed (modern one) reminds me strongly of Krizia “Krazy krizia”.

    LOVE! this perfume! I have been looking everywhere but hard to find in the States, you can find it in Germany. Very oriental type, woody, balmy and warm and just the right combination of flowers. My old bottle has been empty a few years now, but this one is worth searching for if you have a passion for oriental types of perfumes.
