Note to self: do not wear Obsession while on safari.
......
I hate reading news articles on anything I know anything about. It scares me for the rest of what I read!
My wife loves it - and she is not a cat person.
Just curious, ackvil and King Bongo, how old are your wives?
Mine is younger than me, but old enough to have been in the prime of Obsession's heyday in the late 1980's and early 1990's when she was in high school and college. She loves the stuff, and while I think it's OK, if it wasn't for her I doubt I'd own any.
I read enough disparaging remarks leveled at the fragrance that are variants of "Maybe it was good in the 80's, but it's so dated now" that I wonder if it's universally despised by the younger set.
Scent associations are funny things. I don't know why, but the smell of Brut used to make me almost hostile...I think because way back when some guy I really disliked used it. Now I don't have the strong negative reaction, but I just can't bring myself to wear it unless it's a stunt at home to annoy the wife.

I suppose that it may be a warning not to make bad memories while wearing your favorite scent, be it aftershave or cologne.
