Fragrance information:

MCM Obelisk is not just a fragrance, but a true olfactory obelisk towering above the world of fashion.

Launched in 1985 by the legendary German house Mode Creation Munich, it instantly became a style icon for women who value sophistication and strength.

This Eau de Parfum (EDP) belongs to the oriental fragrance family and has a moderate sillage—the perfect balance between intimacy and presence.

Composition and character

The fragrance opens with a vivid burst of juicy citrus fruits and green notes: bergamot, lemon, galbanum, and a green accord with a touch of peach.

The heart then blossoms into a bouquet of jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, rosewood, and thyme. The base is warm and sensual: amber, benzoin, cedar, moss, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk.

This is a true oriental cocktail that wears with luxury and elegance.

The creator and who it is for

This masterpiece was created by perfumer Arturetto Landi, a master of oriental compositions.

MCM Obelisk is a women's fragrance that is ideal for evening occasions, while its depth and longevity also make it a beautiful choice for a cool day.

Its moderate sillage makes it comfortable for everyday wear, while its longevity is excellent for a full day.

What to compare it with and where to buy

If you like MCM Obelisk, be sure to try similar fragrances: Calvin Klein Obsession, Yves Rocher Venice, and Mauboussin Mauboussin. They also share an oriental style, but each has its own distinct nuances.

You can learn more about the brand on the official website of Eden Parfums.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent is simply gorgeous. I absolutely adore it. It's spicy, warm, with notes of spices. In frosty weather, it feels simply incredible. One spray on the back of the neck - and warmth envelops you. The longevity on hair is simply phenomenal. It reminds me of Obsession, but hotter, with balsamic and incense notes. I use it without comparing it to other perfumes. It's unique. Yesterday, I applied Obelisk and Obsession to my wrists. Obelisk lasted until morning, and they are very similar. Obsession is louder at the beginning but quickly fades. Obelisk, however, whispers orientally, captivating with its sillage. I didn't think my Obelisk would stand alongside other masterpieces. True chic. Lately, I've been drawn to German perfumes. They are crafted with soul, dignified and harmonious. The sillage is simply top-notch ))

I bought this perfume, inspired by a review on the German Douglas website. There was only one entry where a woman shared her joy of the purchase, as she had been looking for something special for a long time. This intrigued me. When I read that there were no reviews here, I was surprised. But, in principle, it's understandable - not many people have seen it, and not everyone is familiar with the MCM brand. I have a bag from this luxury brand, and their quality is truly top-notch. I was sure that MCM would create something masterful, yet simple at the same time. And then, a miracle happened! From the first sniff - complete delight. This is real magic! When it runs out, I'll buy it again, no doubt. This is a love that will last. And the price - 15-20 euros for 50 ml. Longevity - 12 hours, and I can feel it on my skin
