Calvin Klein Obsession for Men Eau de Toilette is a legendary 1980s oriental-woody fragrance and one of the defining masculine scents of its era. Composed by Bob Slattery in 1986, this 75ml spray pairs spicy cinnamon and lavender with a complex floral-woody heart and a sumptuous oriental drydown of amber, vanilla and sandalwood.

How to use
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck and behind the ears.
- Hold the bottle 15–20cm from the skin for an even mist.
- Allow the fragrance to dry naturally rather than rubbing the skin.
- Refresh sparingly through the evening — the rich composition projects strongly.
