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.
