Calvin Klein Obsessed for Men Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Christophe Raynaud and Ilias Ermenidis. Obsessed for Men Intense opens with Rhubarb, Grapefruit, and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Cedar, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Balsam, Amber, Guaiac Wood, and Vanilla. Calvin Klein's Obsessed for Men Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A mysteriously captivating gem, Obsessed for Men Intense punches well above its weight class. Sadly discontinued, it's a love-it-or-hate-it beast that's frequently compared to more niche-priced offerings, often polarising opinions with its intensity.

About

Opens with a surprising and sharp zest of grapefruit and the unique tartness of rhubarb, quickly followed by a warm, spicy kick of Sichuan pepper. This bright start mellows into a rich, woody heart of cashmeran and cedar, layered with the earthy depth of cypriol. The dry-down is utterly opulent, with guaiac wood offering a smoky, almost balsamic sweetness, harmoniously blended with creamy vanilla and a luxurious amber embrace. It's a dark, sweet, and resinous scent that lingers with an alluring mystery.
