The review
Pure Addiction scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Blessed Baraka.
Scentual Obsessions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blessed Baraka's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $133 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Blessed Baraka — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Scentual Obsessions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Initio Blessed Baraka is incense and cardamom at first, Tonka Bean and sandalwood at its heart and vanilla, amber and musk at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
