The Image and Character of Obsidian
Insider Parfums Obsidian is a 2024 eau de parfum from Insider Parfums, a British perfume brand.
The fragrance is presented as unisex and is aimed at those who enjoy expressive compositions with spicy, woody and resinous facets.
The name Obsidian sets the right expectations: this is a fragrance with a dark, dense and distinctive character.
Its style combines fougère, floral, spicy and woody motifs, making the composition feel layered and far from ordinary.
Scent Profile and Mood
Obsidian unfolds as a contrast between freshness, spices, noble woods and warm balsamic nuances.
It combines the composure of a fougère accord, a soft floral facet and a deep base that makes the fragrance especially striking in cool weather.
In terms of mood, it is more of an evening and sophisticated fragrance than a light everyday spray.
It is well suited to autumn, winter and early spring, as well as occasions when you want to express your individuality: dinner, a date, a cultural event or a walk around the city.
Sillage and Wearability
Obsidian is rated as having very strong sillage, so the fragrance is noticeable in the air and can linger in the memory for a long time.
This intensity will especially appeal to fans of rich compositions, but when trying it for the first time, it is best to exercise caution and gradually find a comfortable amount to apply.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided for this release.
A practical approach is to start with a minimal application on the skin, assess how it develops after a few minutes, and only then increase the intensity if necessary; on fabric, the fragrance may last longer and come across more intensely.
Its Place in the Brand’s Style
For Insider Parfums, Obsidian is an example of a fragrance that combines a classic perfume structure with a richer, more contemporary presentation.
Its character is built not around a single dominant note, but through the interplay of spices, flowers, resins and woody materials.
The perfumer who created Obsidian is not identified in the available information. No other concentrations of this fragrance have been announced either, so the version presented on this page is specifically the eau de parfum.
