Obsession

by Jean Guichard

Calvin Klein Obsession is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1985, created by Jean Guichard. Obsession opens with Basil, Peach, Vanilla, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Coriander, Jasmine, Rose, and Oakmoss, and dries down to a base of Incense, Civet, Vetiver, and Amber. Calvin Klein's Obsession carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A magnetic, historic powerhouse - Obsession is one of the definitive ambery orientals, radiating heat, sensuality, and a provocative, animalic depth. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable.

About

Obsession is a sultry, enveloping symphony of amber and vanilla, laced with animalic civet and smoky incense. Its opening hints of citrus and spice quickly give way to a rich, resinous heart and a base that smolders with musk, sandalwood, oakmoss, and sweet vanilla. This iconic fragrance projects powerfully and lingers for hours, leaving a decadent, mysterious trail that evokes vintage glamour and forbidden allure. A signature for those who crave boldness and passion in scent.
