Calvin Klein Obsessed is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Annick Menardo and Honorine Blanc. Obsessed opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Neroli, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Violet Leaf, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk. Calvin Klein's Obsessed carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear. The polarizing 'masculine' and 'aftershave' comments, along with varied longevity, pull down its suitability for dates and formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a bright, zesty burst of neroli and bergamot, Obsessed quickly settles into its aromatic heart. A prominent white lavender and herbal sage mingle with soft violet leaf and delicate lily of the valley, creating a clean, slightly powdery floralcy. The base is all about a comforting, yet assertive musk, which some find sharp and others velvety smooth, delivering a clean skin-scent vibe with a hint of something uniquely '90s.
