Calvin Klein Obsessed for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Ilias Ermenidis and Christophe Raynaud. Obsessed for Men opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Leather, Cedar, Geranium, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Cinnamon, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Calvin Klein's Obsessed for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Obsessed for Men is divisive - some love its modern sweetness and versatility, others find it generic and lacking punch. It's a crowd-pleasing scent for those who enjoy contemporary synthetic vanilla and amber, but don't expect a groundbreaking experience or an homage to the original Obsession.

Its moderate sillage and versatile, pleasant scent profile make it suitable for office and casual daytime wear, especially given its general crowd-pleasing nature. The sweet and warm amber-vanilla dry down, with decent longevity, lends itself well to date nights, though its less formal character makes it less ideal for formal occasions.

About

Obsessed for Men opens with a lively blend of zesty grapefruit and lemon, spiced up by a kick of Sichuan pepper and cardamom. The heart introduces a surprising pineapple note, softened by leathery labdanum and green geranium, while cedar provides a woody backbone. The dry down is a comforting embrace of warm vanilla and amberwood, with a slight depth from patchouli and the modern touch of ambroxan.
