I have been wearing Obsession® by Calvin Klein since it was first launched in 1985, the year I first arrived in California. It seems I am one of those people forever stuck in a time warp and prefer this classic instead of trying new scents. While I prefer the eau de parfum spray I have both variations. Although at first this tends to have a strong aroma, this doesn't last after being applied to your skin. I love the blend of vanilla, mandarin orange, peach and lemon that make up the scent of Obsession®.

My preference is more of a racy, provocative, alluring scent instead of brimming like flowers. With my skin irritations, asthma and allergies I have no problems with spraying my body parts with Obsession®. The color is quite appealing, reminding me of Spiced Rum with the brown, amber and gold tones. Obsession® cologne is suitable for both day and evening wear, indoors and outdoors and those luscious intimate settings.

This is definitely a feminine scent, sweet, sexy and not too fruity or powerful. There is a gold toned rim with the cap snapping on and pulling off most of the time with ease. Sometimes the lid does not go on just right and then the cap part becomes undone and this makes two pieces.

Once the scent has set in for awhile on my skin I detect a hint of floral with wood combination and have read on fragrance.net that Obsession® has oriental spices. It really is a winning combination that has captured my interest over the years. This is a scent that is recognizable by men and women and can be worn through out the seasons.

I would not say this is a musk scent but more of a spicy tingle that needs to be only administered once a day for long lasting appeal. The appeal of Obsession® seems to run from girls in their early twenties to those of us in our early forties, from conservative ladies to party animals.

Although it is a darker color than most fragrances, there is no staining on clothing, but I do not wear sweaters, whites or turtlenecks. When I do use the glass jar I have noticed frequently when standing over the sink the yellowish/brown tint left in the sink and have to rinse it off as well as my finger tips.

Obsession® is a potent and romantic perfume for evening. The prices of the assorted sizes of Obsession® range from forty to sixty dollars.

Wife says the scent is not quite the same and in a blind back and forth sniff test, I agree with her. Comes in a plain cardboard box and does not have any top. Writing is not exactly the same either. Her "real" Obsession says eau de parfum spray, with vaporisateur written underneath and the one purchased from Amazon says eau de parfum, with spray / vaporisateur written underneath that. On the back there is a small "tester demonstrator" sticker. At less than half the price, $32 delivered compared to $72 from Ulta store, it passes, but may not be exactly the same, you be the judge.

my husband is OBSESSED with this perfume! it is his favorite by far! whenever i wear this perfume (and i wear quite a few different scents.....depending on my mood!).....this is the scent that he loves the best. i know i'll get lots of attention and affection with this one! buy it and wear it.....he'll love it! :)

I have been using it for... uhh.. fifteen years?!
It is the best blend of sweetness, spice, musk and character I have ever smelled.
There are so many perfumes, especially in the last decade, being launched, and they all smell so similar! They have so little character, and if they do, then they are either too weird, or too something. Or they give me a headache.
This one is unique. Guaranteed.

I searched many fragrence sites an could not find a price close to this one, most of the majors want $65, somehow they sell it $30 cheaper, it may be a knockoff but it sure passes the smell test when compared to other bottles of Obsession

I like this perfume a lot!
I am so tired of smelling womens perfumes, on women, that smells like flowers and that is why I LIKE this perfume so much.

I've been buying this product for years. This is the lowest price I've ever found anywhere. My wife uses about two bottles a year and won't use anything else. Thanks for the good price.

I love this perfume! My husband surprised me and got me this for my birthday. What a find as it is so expensive in the retail stores. Thanks so much.

I saved a lot of money ordering this product from Amazon.com When Ineed Obsession again I know where to purchase it.

Great product - great price - quick shipping. I have been buying this same product from another vendor for years as a "tester." Basically, a bottle without a lid in a plain box for $10 less than retail packaging. They recently discontinued the "tester" which amounted to a price increase for me. From Amazon I got retail packaging for the same price as the other vendor's "tester."
