How does Obelisk perform in terms of longevity?+−
Obelisk is known for its "beastly" performance. In line with other potent vintage powerhouses, it typically lasts all day on the skin and can often still be detected on clothing even after a wash.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Generally, no. Most users find it too potent and "thick" for a professional environment. It is best suited for evening occasions, leisure in cold weather, or formal night-out events where its heavy sillage is more appropriate.
Has the fragrance been reformulated?+−
Obelisk has been discontinued for many years. While different batches may exist from its original production run, it never transitioned into the modern era of mass reformulation; instead, it was replaced by entirely different scent profiles under the MCM brand.
Is Obelisk a unisex fragrance?+−
While it was originally marketed to women in 1985, its spicy, woody, and herbal profile — particularly the notes of thyme, cedarwood, and moss — gives it a classic complexity that many modern male collectors of vintage oriental fragrances find wearable.
