Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum 50ml is a rich oriental-spicy women's classic launched in 1985, composed by master perfumer Jean Guichard. A confident, statement-making fragrance, it opens with vanilla, basil, bergamot, mandarin, peach and lemon, develops through a heart of spices, sandalwood, coriander, oakmoss, jasmine and rose, and settles onto a deep, slightly addictive base of amber, incense, vanilla, musk and vetiver. Houses in the iconic frosted-glass flacon.
About Calvin Klein

Who it's for
Obsession suits women who like rich, statement oriental-spicy fragrances over fresh-aquatic or pure-floral compositions — those drawn to vanilla, amber and incense. It is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for evenings, dinners and formal occasions, and many wearers carry it as a long-time signature scent.
How to use
- Hold the frosted-glass bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- One to two sprays are usually enough — Obsession is a powerful fragrance with strong sillage.
- For longer trail in cool weather, mist a small amount across the hair before stepping out.
