Moudon Obsidian is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Obsidian opens with Mandarin, Nutmeg, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Clove Leaf, Violet, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oud, and Patchouli. Moudon's Obsidian carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Obsidian is a bold, divisive powerhouse. Some hail it as a superior Ganymede-esque masterpiece, while others find its unique blend to be downright off-putting. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Obsidian is best suited for occasions where it won't overpower, such as formal events or a confident date night. Its mature, 'CEO boss' vibe makes it a strong contender for formal settings, while its intensity makes it less ideal for the office or sport.

About

Obsidian opens with a spicy kick of nutmeg and saffron, brightened by a fleeting mandarin note, before descending into a complex heart of clove leaf, earthy immortelle, and violet. The drydown settles into a strong, masculine base of moss, patchouli, and a distinct oud, tempered by musk and amber. It's a journey from sharp spices to a deep, woody, almost rubbery finish that commands attention.
