Calvin Klein Obsession Night Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by David Apel and Caroline Sabas. Obsession Night Woman opens with Angelica, Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Calvin Klein's Obsession Night Woman carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this one's a day-wear darling, not a dark diva. It's a divisive scent; some find it a comforting, musky cloud, others a harsh, masculine mess. Approach with an open mind, and perhaps a blind buy if you're feeling lucky and value a bargain.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Many reviews highlight its suitability for office and casual day wear due to its clean and inoffensive nature, often described as a 'light freshie'. Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it won't overpower, making it less ideal for formal settings but pleasant for close encounters on a casual date.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Obsession Night Woman opens with a bright burst of bitter orange and zesty bergamot, softened by the delicate touch of jasmine and angelica. The heart unfolds with a bouquet of white florals - gardenia, lily of the valley, and rose - before settling into a warm, creamy base. Sandalwood, cashmere wood, and amber meld with sweet vanilla and tonka bean, creating a smooth, inviting finish.
