About the Product
A classically elegant and sensual men’s fragrance, Calvin Klein Obsession for Men is an enduring, woody, oriental scent that is further enhanced by elements of spice, amber, and aromatic herbs. This iconic fragrance, designed by perfumer Robert Slattery, was first launched by Calvin Klein in 1986. The original composition was followed by many flankers, including the warm and spicy woody oriental Night (2005), the vanilla woody oriental Dark (2013), the fresh herbal aromatic Summer (2016), the oriental woody amber Obsessed (2017), and the woody vanilla oriental Obsessed Intense (2018). Today, you can find the original Obsession cologne at a surprisingly low price when you shop with FragranceX.
Fragrance Family:
Oriental
Scent Type:
Amber, woody
Notes:
The opening of Calvin Klein Obsession for Men combines vibrant, citrus tones of grapefruit, lime, mandarin orange, and bergamot with sharply floral lavender and warm, spicy nuances of cinnamon and coriander. Aromatic wood, florals, and a touch of fruit emerge in the heart notes, fusing myrhh, Brazilian rosewood, and pine with peppery carnation, jasmine, crushed sage, nutmeg, and a mellow hint of red berries. A woody and subtly sweet base of sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, amber, musk, and dark vanilla harmonizes the whole, leaving a warm, powdery trail in the wake of your Obsession cologne.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.
