Calvin Klein Obsessed for Women Eau de Parfum

Product Information

Deeply based in memory, Obsessed is once again as much about the incredible scent as the iconic advertising campaign for Obsession, featuring an 18 year old Kate Moss and photographed by her 20 year old boyfriend Mario Sorrenti. I can for sure see this as a fall staple but it's not too heavy where you can't wear it in the summer.

Then it becomes abundantly clear that it might just be one of these confused, messy generic fragrances, a dud of little significance and quickly dismissed like many others and I don't think this is entirely down to the ambroxan. Strong notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and vetiver at the heart of the scent are flanked with refreshing mandarin bergamot and vanillin, alongside earthy, green base notes of oakmoss, incense, and musk.I am very versatile with fragrances so I don't mind something a little different, but for those people that like pretty girl fragrances this is not for you. I only ever got to own knockoffs myself, but my friend had a bottle she was particularly protective of, and I would sneak a small spritz here or there. Calvin Klein Obsessed For Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of very sweet, spices, and fruity accords. Genders are subverted and layered with the traditionally masculine note - white lavender - harnessed for the women’s fragrance which together with creamy musk, envelopes the wearer and adds a sensuous warmth to the women's perfume.

What I get is a lot of rich, creamy vanilla with ambroxan and patchouli playing so far back that you might not even notice they're there, except for the occasional tell-tale wisp. One of the world's leading lifestyle brands, Calvin Klein is synonymous with authentic modern minimalist style. At the heart of OBSESSED FOR WOMEN is the memory of a past love, triggered by the scent of another on the skin. Top notes are Citruses, elemi, Neroli and Bergamot; middle notes are Lavender, Sage, Violet Leaf, Orange Blossom, Lily-of-the-Valley and Rose; base notes are Musk, Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Iso E Super. The dry down is soft and musk like, although it tends to get a little "common" smelling after it sits on the skin for a while.Obsessed can get too dense and heady (the musk is very noticeable) if you overspray, but misted once it smells fresh, a touch spicy, and the aromatic notes are softened and blurred by the musk, making it so feminine and sidewalk-wearable. I know the pineapple note is rather far down in the main notes list but I get a big blast of it when I put this on and that pineapple note sticks around for a good while.

I got this fragrance for almost a year and what I can say about it is this: It's not a Sauvage clone (way far from it) although, I can get the smell of ambrox and pepper. At the heart of OBSESSED FOR MEN is the memory of a past love, triggered by the scent of another on the skin. I am fairly averse to ambroxan, but this one comes off more like a classic amber unisex soapiness and fades to the background of the fragrance within an hour, but lasting as this subtle base note until the next day. Obsessed is the first fragrance to be released by Calvin Klein, since the appointment of Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons, the Chief Creative Officer at Calvin Klein.The ambroxan is noticeable and ensures this will be an occasional reach for me, never a regular one. Launched in 1985, Calvin Klein Obsession is a lasting and powerful oriental fragrance that is as appealing today as it was at launch. This signature women's perfume, a passionate blend of exotic botanicals and rare woods, is designed to captivate and mesmerise those lucky enough to be in its presence. By signing up you agree with this and confirm that you are over 13 years of age, or have the consent of a parent or guardian. And I thought that I hate sage, but here with white musk and iso e super , is kinda comforting ,soft , fresh, watery herbal.
