Secret Obsession

Name: Secret Obsession Eau de Parfum
Brand: Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein Secret Obsession is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Ann Gottlieb and Calice Becker. Secret Obsession opens with Rose, Plum, Mace, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Orchid, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood, Wormwood, and Amber. Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper Marmite scent, isn't it? People either adore its spicy-woody warmth or wrinkle their nose at what they perceive as boozy, dusty plum. Not a safe blind buy, but if it clicks, it's a surprising gem.

About

Secret Obsession kicks off with a bold, almost boozy plum and a punch of fresh nutmeg and mace, immediately setting a rich, spicy tone. As it settles, a heady bouquet of white florals-tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang-emerges, softened by sweet orchid and orange blossom. The dry-down sinks into a luxurious, warm embrace of cashmere wood, creamy sandalwood, and amber, grounded by earthy orris and a hint of intriguing wormwood, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated warmth.
