What you are paying for in the bottle

A designer bottle is glass, a cap, a box and a name. The scent is the small part. obsessed puts a profile inspired by the original into a 6 oz (170 g) jar of shea and cocoa butter for $25, and three jars are $58.08 with a free mystery gift.

How close is the scent

Each obsessed scent is our take on the profile of a named original, built from the same headline notes. It is inspired by, not a copy. If the one you pick is not you, swap it free within 14 days.

Why it is still there at midnight

Perfume is mostly alcohol, and alcohol leaves. Butter stays on the skin. Put obsessed on damp skin after the shower, on the neck, collarbone, chest and wrists, and it lasts 12+ hours on most skin.

The jar

6 oz (170 g) of whipped shea and cocoa butter. Absorbs in about a minute with no shine. Moisturizes and leaves skin soft. 12+ hours on most skin, longest on damp skin after a shower. Paraben-free and sulfate-free. Handmade in small batches.

The sack

Your order arrives wrapped in a real coffee sack, tied with twine. No two are alike. A card in every package tells you where in the world your sack came from. The sack is the wrap, not the scent; none of the six scents smells of coffee.
