Description
Oriflame launches new luxurious fragrance for women named Possess. Announced as a sensual and hypnotic fragrance of a graceful seductress, it is inspired by the legend of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The composition belongs to the category of chypre floral fragrances with fruity additions. It contains over 80 ingredients, with only dominant listed.
Daphne Bugey and Dora Baghriche signed this creation. The scent opens with accords of pineapple, grapefruit and freesia. The heart captures orange blossom, ylang-ylang as a major accord, and sweet raspberry. The base is made of sandalwood from Sri Lanka, patchouli and vanilla from Madagascar.
It is available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum with a body lotion.
Possess was launched in 2014.

I really dont like this perfume too much pineapple scent inside the bottle. Like cheap perfume.
After a hour, too soapy.moderate longevity

At first,I thought this perfume was too heavy and mature,but I decided to test it and I liked it.My husband had the Possess man and bought me this perfume.
I thought it smelled kinda like a perfume I had a long time ago,but overall is a beautiful perfume.It has something..unique to it.It has so many notes and it’s beautiful that everyone smells this perfume different.I smell pineapple and ylang ylang,and I love it!
Even though it’s a pricey perfume for Oriflame,I think it’s worth a shot.

The description of the mood of the scent matched to the types of scents I prefer however when I first sprayed it it was very strong and off-putting. Only after 30 minutes it became sensual and mysterious. But I have to be frank – it is not easy to survive the first 30 minutes.
shaum – :
Possess initially put me off a bit, due to some bitter ylang note that persisted, yet I felt that I should give it another chance, as it might potentially be a good “winter” scent. On the next application I was able to appreciate the most beautiful sandalwood and vanilla plus something that I believe might be a natural, non-sweetened raspberry juice, but only in minimal amounts. No pineapples and barely any patchouli – but the few “molecules” of patchouli present in the perfume give it this bitter, exotic vibe.
It’s a “second skin” perfume to me, I love wearing it although I can barely smell it on myself – yet a friend assured me that my perfume is strong and can be easily sensed – good to know:) My great discovery of the season!

Today I received my bottle of possess which I used to think that I’d like it.well it’s a love,love,LOVE!what a great surprise!
It’s one of more expensive oriflame fragrances but it’s still way cheaper than high end brands and it has nothing less than them
If you’re looking for something ancient, a mysterious Oriental to associate it with Cleopatra,well,don’t be!possess is sweet,modern and full of life.it could be a new flanker for miss Dior line.I can smell the same sweet,sharp-ish pachoul but here it’s blended with a sweet,bright and fruity note,pineapple.vanilla,ylangylang and sandalwood are also there,trying to soften sharpness of fruitchouli edges with their warm creamyness.possess is delightful and sexy.it’s not easy to ignore it.I love it when I can smell my perfume for a long time and this one projects very well also has great lasting power which is another reason for being very glad to have it
Pineapple is very present in here but it’s a very good kind of pineapple.so even if you’re not a fan of pineapple in perfumes, give this one a try
Since it’s strong and sweet,colder months seem to be the best for it,but I’m sure it would be as beautiful in cool summer nights
It’s bottle looks very pretty and glorious,though it would be even better if it’s cap and snakes on it were made off metal
Possess is not everyone’s cup of tea but if you like perfumes like miss Dior EDP(2012),madame gres,givenchy dahlia divinexa,givenchy live irresponsible you’re probably going to love oriflame possess
Highly recommended

I don’t know what pineapples are people talking about! 🙂 For me it’s patchouli all over. Lovely in cool weather or at night time. In comparison with the frutichulies this is drier and more grown up. It gives confidence.

Sexy scent absolutely. I was wearing It a lot in the past winters when younger, and browsing the catalogue, i thought why not buying it again, i know i like it. Wait, i love it!! Warm, sexy, strong, long lasting, and sillage depends on the amount of perfume you will use. I use a lot, and i smell it on my scarves. This time i will be wearing it all year round.
Be careful, the perfume develops and the drydown could be different on everyone. For instance, on one of my female friends the vanilla is the most prominent, no pineapple. On me the drydown consists of (thank God) patchouli, sandalwood, just enough vanilla to add warmth and a considerable amount of ylang ylang. Sample before buying.
Opening is disgusting, there, i said it. But wait, the pineapple and grapefruit start smelling nicer, no freesia, or, maybe i don’t smell the freesia(?). Then it’s vanilla for a couple of minutes, patchouli is dry but keeps strong throughout the time i’m wearing it, some ylang ylang and something berryish(just for some minutes) and then again it’s straight up a woody ylang ylang patchouli.
For women +20, not everyone might like it, some noticed a rather weird scent, but not bad. It stands somewhere in the middle I’d say, it’s likeable.

The bottle reminde me of Womanity – Mugler

I ordered it online without testing, because I figured that, having dedicated half of my life to the academic research about Cleopatra, I have to have it, even if the scent is ugly! I was also attracted by the interesting bottle and some of the notes, mostly ylang-ylang and orange blossom.
Verdict? The bottle in real life is kind of tacky and the juice… well, Cleopatra it is not – but I knew this from the beginning, since the reviews say that the scent opens up with a very strong pineapple note and my dear Greek queen of Egypt definitely didn’t know this fruit which comes somewhere from America.
But guess what! I still REALLY like it and I am even considering loving it. 🙂
The opening, like I said, is pure pineapple, but it fades away quickly – to my great joy, since I am not a fan of fruity notes. What remains is a warm mix of ylang ylang and sandalwood. Actually, I have a feeling that after years of searching I finally found my sandalwood scent! This particular note is in a bad conflict with my chemistry and as much as I love it on others, I usually cannot stand it on myself. In Possess I really, really enjoy it – it’s creamy, I would even say – oily, and nicely rounded up by ylang.
Unfortunately on my skin the longevity is very poor. I’ve had the bottle for not even a week and since I’m constantly respraying, already 1/3 is gone. Well, I guess I will simply buy another one!

for me, the first few minutes or hour is fine decent and elegant scent but afterwards it smells really weird.. My personal opinion though

In the beginning Possess is very sweet and intense. Its drydown reminds me a lot of RIHANNA Rogue. It is a nice Autumn & Winter scent.

Smelt like Chopard Wish but sweeter. I hate pineapple note but it’ too strong and you can smelt it all day. After 3-4 hours it become more elegant and delicate, really sexy. And I want to say that it’s not have too much ingredients like kwnstanths said.

The opening is mouthwatering fruits on a golden plate. I don`t really know why the association of gold comes to my mind when I sniff this but I guess it is just sets the atmosphere or luxury and wealth.

It sceams Wish – Chopard!

A very deep fragrance, gives that feeling of warmth but its not heavy, you cant really tell what the smell is about, but I love it, though I didn’t like it at first. I bought a sample at first. The smell is not like other fragrances that I have ever had, and I had a lot. It really does smell unique and sexy. I would really suggest to try a sample at first as this one is definitely a fragrance that doesn’t fit everyone, if you try a blind buy you might regret it.
Main notes that I get is pineapple and vanilla mixed together. At first when you spray – warm pineapple that slowly goes into woody vanilla with a pinch of berry- grapefruit.

First, I think the bottle, the name and the theme behind it are pretty cool!
As far as the fragrance goes,… it’s not bad, but I would have expected it to be more of a seductive fragrance.
What I get now is mainly a sweet, fruity scent with pineapple being the most present note. In the opening combined with a hint of grapefruit and as it dries down lots of raspberry and a little patchouli.
I think with Cleopatra being the theme here, some incense would be in place for that magical, mysterious feeling. Something smoky and dark with more oriental notes instead of this rather polite fruity scent.
I don’t think it’s a bad scent, but it could have been so much more!

I can smell only cheap heavy perfume similar to fake scents, sorry Oriflame. Even the bottle looks very cheaply, plastic like for children. And it’s unbelievably overpriced.

this sweety, hot perfume is extremely dominant. If you want to feel sexy, you can use it because whole house smells like you 🙂

The bottle looks amazing! My Mum found this perfume and liked the scent on paper so she ordered it for herself and for me, and I’m very curious. Pineapple, grapefruit and creamy floral notes with some patchouli sounds delightful. Being a chypre is also a bonus, I’m attracted to chypres.
My huge fav from Oriflame now is Mirage, but I also like some other stuff from them so hopefully this won’t disappoint either. With that bottle, it must be good! Can’t wait for Christmas.
Update: Well regardless awesome bottle and packaging, with the actual scent I’m not impressed at all. Generic sweetness, pretty much like Serpentine. The opening is pleasant and a bit tangy, with pineapple and a hint of grapefruit but it turns sweet and stays that way for most of its lifetime. Something in it hurts my nose. I wish they added some smoke and spices instead of this fruity sugar. At the very end, when it’s only present in light traces, it’s pleasant again, with a clear vanilla, but that’s only a whispering skin scent.

Just received the sample of this Eau de Parfum. First its mention on the more than 80 ingridients attracted my attention . I have to say that I’m excited how well blended they are . Its scent gives me the impression of a beautiful full bouquet of white flowers. Its warm and creamy , I can smell clearly Ylang Ylang and Vanilla , maybe some Caramel too . Well done Daphne and Dora!
Definitely a feminine one. I would describe it mostly powerful , romantic than sexy.
