Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Obsessed EDP
Divisive, nostalgic, and often mistaken for its male counterpart, Obsessed is a clean musky lavender that harks back to 90s CK. It's not for everyone, with some finding it sharp and masculine, while others adore its calming, fresh profile.

Our Verdict - Preoccupied For Women EDP
A budget take on Calvin Klein's Obsessed For Women - the same fresh, soft female-fougere of citrus and neroli over white lavender, light florals and clean musk. Preoccupied captures that low-key, easy character but reads flatter and even shorter-lived than the often-fleeting original, the musky drydown thinner.
