The Fragrance

Dulce de Leche translates this idea of a simple yet ultra-comforting indulgence, with a gentle and enveloping warmth. From the start, there's that sensation of warm milk blended with a smooth, almost creamy caramel, with a subtly toasted note reminiscent of the cooking process. The sweetness is definitely present, but it remains controlled, never cloying. Over time, the scent becomes smoother, more melted on the skin, with a continuous warmth that creates a cocooning effect. The overall impression remains gourmand, but with a clean and elegant texture, like a sweetness that settles in. Dulce de Leche, or "sweet milk," originated in Latin America, where it has been enjoyed for centuries as a dessert. The dulce de leche accord is a creation by the perfumer that highlights creamy and caramelized notes evoking the deliciousness of this beloved Latin American confection. It possesses a milky sweetness, with hints of vanilla and a touch of caramelized sugar, creating a delightful and comforting fragrance.

The brand

Obvious is a French perfume house founded in 2020 by David Frossard, a discreet yet essential figure in niche perfumery. A former distributor who spent over twenty years supporting the emergence of brands like Byredo, Juliette Has A Gun, Atelier Cologne, and Liquides Imaginaires, he founded Obvious after a journey that was as much philosophical as professional. Before perfume, there was philosophy, and it was in Descartes that he found the name for his brand: "évidence" (obviousness), that moment when truth presents itself without needing explanation. His initial conviction was an admission: niche perfumery had drifted. Too much convoluted storytelling, too much ostentation, too many barriers between the scent and the wearer. Obvious is his answer: remove everything that hides, everything that serves to justify a price rather than offer pleasure. The glass is made from recycled glass, the alcohol is organic, the cap is made from cork derived from wine stopper production scraps, and the packaging is cellophane-free paper. Not a communication stunt, but consistency. David Frossard didn't create a green brand; he created an honest brand. Less is more. This is obvious.
