Oriflame Possess is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Daphné Bugey and Dora Baghriche. Possess opens with Grapefruit, Freesia, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Oriflame's Possess carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one is a seriously divisive beast. Some adore its exotic, sensual warmth; others find it a heavy, unwearable mess. Love it or hate it, Possess certainly isn't shy.

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.

Its potent projection and rich, sweet, and woody profile make it too intense for the office or sport. However, these qualities enhance its suitability for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, where its sensual character can truly shine.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Possess opens with a bold, juicy hit of pineapple and a zesty grapefruit spark, quickly ushering in a creamy, intoxicating heart of ylang-ylang and delicate orange blossom, underscored by a sweet kiss of raspberry. As it settles, a rich, woody base of sandalwood and vanilla emerges, deepened by an earthy patchouli that lends an oriental spice and a touch of mysterious elegance.
