Donna Karan vs Obsession

The r/fragrance community holds Donna Karan fragrances (particularly Black Cashmere and DK Men) in high regard for their unique, memorable character that few modern fragrances replicate. However, discontinued products and scarcity issues frustrate fans, with resale prices reaching prohibitive levels. The newer Cashmere line is generating renewed interest and optimism about the brand's return to relevance.

The r/fragrance community holds Obsession in generally favorable regard, particularly for its distinctive cinnamon and spicy character that differentiates it from mainstream fragrances. However, there is significant disappointment with the modern reformulation, with many preferring vintage bottles despite their rarity and high cost. The consensus is that if you enjoy the scent, wearing it remains relevant regardless of trends, provided application is moderate.
