PERFUME DETAIL REVIEW
Pros: A vintage scent with a warm and mature nuance. Weighty and dense with a strong sillage and longevity
Cons: Some may consider this scent outdated
Verdict: A classic from Calvin Klein, a scent that bring back a lot of old memory
Calvin Klein launched Obsession, a Spicy Oriental fragrance for women in 1985 with Jean Guichard as the perfumer behind the making of this scent. The bottle of Obsession truly a creation of its time, it has a simple old school oval shape that shows off the amber hue liquid inside.
This opens with a green scent of fresh cut grass, and is quite strong but not sharp. There is also oakmoss presented here and for the first half hour, the scent slowly reveals other notes that rotate in and out with their presence, you’ll get peach, basil, and a touch of bergamot.... Just as it begins to feel it may soften, the spices and civet kick in and replace the oakmoss/peach scent to become warm, spiced, rich, a bit sexy. These notes seem to settle for the next hour or so with the incense creeping in, giving it a rich leathery tobacco note. The vanilla starts to make its presence known later down the line and after a couple of hours the other notes fade into the background and you will get a musky, warm, gently spiced smoky vanilla, sandalwood blend.
For the long-time perfume lovers, Obsession by Calvin Klein will bring back a lot of good memories. It’s nostalgic with a casual vibe that is iconic from the house of Calvin Klein, a leader in style and fashion.
