Obsidian is definetly sweeter, has maybe a 10% touch of DHI in it.

As for Kayaan classic, I might pass on that and maybe go for Rayhaan Obsidian since that’s the send closest dupe of DHI.

Obsidian isn’t close to DHI at all (I wish!), it has that signature Le Male DNA all over it which is huge part of DHP 2025.

I thought Obsidian was DHI but i got a sample and it's not that close and nowhere near as good.
