Obsessed for Women

incredibly nostalgic for me as this is the first fragrance i ever got as a gift as a kid (kinda weird looking back), the longevity sucks, it's a clean, unisex scent, kinda sterile, and not unique in any way

EDIT: I'm changing the review to "like", because this perfume becomes much, I mean muuuch better in the summer. To the point it's currently my go to and the only one I take with me while I'm travelling. Finally I can smell more prominent lavender note and I love it. Still delicate but significant, lighr and airy. Seems for me SJP is better lavender for cold days and Obsessed for warm ones. To the point where I've purchased a backup bottle 😁 *** To my nose the signature CK DNA is much easier to smell than any lavender, which is a shame as I do love lavender and this note was the main reason why I purchased CK Obsessed at all. Maybe a wee hint of sage and citruses, yes, but not much lavender, unfortunately. Nice scent, a bit soapy, clean, but nothing groundbreaking. On my wrist I can smell it for some time, but not when applied on my neck. Which is weird but happens all the time, so probably it's more about my post Covid nose, not the perfume itself. All things considered, another time when I get reassured not many affordable scents are able to even compete with beautiful and sophisticated, fresh and aromatic Lovely from SJP. At least I gave Obsessed a try before it totally dissappears from the shelves and that makes me glad. Probably will use it from time to time, preferably in the spring, when the temperature goes up. PS. I've also purchased Obsessed Intense, still waiting for delivery. Read reviews that it's in fact better and more distinctive scent, hope they were right.

On my skin, this smelled more like a facial toner or harsh astringent than a fragrance. It had zero longevity, which was a huge let-down considering how well my other CK favorites usually perform.

Hmmm, this smells very familiar to my nose. I don’t have any of the comparable scents, so it’s something else. It has a bit of CK women, glossier you, not a perfume, and a middle eastern I can’t remember the name of. It’s a soft pretty musk! If you enjoy that profile, you’ll love this! I don’t think it’s as close to CK one or CK be, which now that I think of it, I do have. There’s a citrus musk I don’t get in those. It’s pretty but definitely a departure from the original Obsession if you’re expecting that. There’s none of the original dna in this. I’d wear this in the spring and summer but that’s when I rock my white florals so I’m not sure I’ll wear it much.

Smells like a drier version of Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly. That’s all.

Wait a damn minute. D’annam really stole their whole swag

That was the best CK scent ever! why did they stop producing that?!

This is my bestseller, I love this perfume and I am so disappointed that they stopped continuing it😞💔. An unusual scent ♥️, fresh, subtle, long-lasting, great price, I hope Calvin Klein will come back to this perfume.

She's an IT girl, an influencer who has a beige feed of white boyfriend shirts and minimal furniture. She's so clean and fresh and I love her. She came on holiday with me and we shared such a special time that just one whispy whiff of her freshness transports me back to that place. She's the ultimate freshly laundered scent. These days she's elusive and hard to track down, I hope she hasn't retired as I want her back in my clique.

SUMMER VIBEZ When your boss comes in smelling delicately powerful and you want that perfume! EDIT: This perfume has definitely been influenced by Eaux de Caron Fraiche Caron. If you liked the CARON fragrances that came in the pale blue and pale yellow bottles...Cacherel NOA... Eclat Arpege... this is definitely up your street but be warned the silage on this is much greater than you'd image. Projection from what I smelt was beyond arms length and this was in 28 degree heat in an office with any air conditioning. It's extremely cheap, at the moment in the UK you can pick this up for £24.00 for 50ml and that's incredible value. I have yet to smell the intense but will do as soon as I can get my miss on this.

Herbal but in a smooth way... very comforting and cosy.. This is straight unisex. I love it. A great quality designer perfume.

One spray of this and I'm teleported back to the 90s, in my bedroom listening to Siamese Dream and dreaming of my middle school crush.

I got this as a present and immediately hated it.All I could smell was musk,musk and pungent musk.Gave it away

like many things in life, it is beautiful but lasts a very short time for me. maybe the longevity will improve when the weather gets warmer, i hope it does because i love it. it smells like a spa resort, very comforting and relaxing. edit: i just bought a new bottle today and was wondering why the lid was squeaking when my first one wasn't. it's ever so slightly taller, too. turns out the first bottle i got was manufactured in 2018!! i bought that one in december 2023, so that's quite fun and interesting. the new one i got today was manufactured 2022 and thankfully smells identical :'D

Exactly like if you took your bottle CK One and mixed it with a bottle of CK Be. If you don't remember the magic of the 90's, you might not get it. Those two had a chokehold on us lol. And you'll probably think this is very masculine as well. Back then, everything you think is masculine was unisex, or even feminine. The original 80's/90's Obsession for women is what everyone thinks is "manly" now. No, that's just how perfume smelled in the 90's. I miss it. What an antidote to all the cloying gourmands of today.

This is one of my favourites, if not the absolutely most beloved perfume ever. It's clean and light but I can smell the sage and lavender on my skin the whole day, especially when applied on a body lotion or in my hair. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I would describe this scent as a sex with a gorgeous young man. Fresh from the shower, gentle and pure, a bit shy but at the same time manly and determined to do his best for you... Enjoying the intimacy you share perhaps even more than the act itself. I will love this one forever and always, buying every last bottle I can get my hands on.

Ummm......I'm not a huge fan of this. I was super excited to get it but when I smelled it I was really disappointed. It smells just like Elizabeth and James Nirvana French Grey. They are so similar that if you have one, you definitely don't need the other. Considering I'm not a huge fan of French Grey, I won't be keeping Obsessed. Both of these seem to be heavy and are definitely winter fragrances.

Hoy me esprayé una muestra de esta fragancia. Al principio huele a cítricos y algo herbal que hizo que me picara la nariz. En mi piel, las notas cítricas se van en los primeros 15 minutos y queda un aroma suave a lavanda jabonosa y un poco empolvada. En mi piel le encuentro parecido con Libre EDP aunque menos formal. Algo para llevar en un día de primavera fresca. Puedo entender que sea demasiado para algunas narices. Es punzante pero me gusta, no lo compraré porque tengo Libre EDP y otras fragancias que me gustan más para la temporada de primavera.

Obsessed feels like a crisp rainy spring day. It is clean and refreshing, but not at all soapy. It has an herbal and aquatic quality due to the combo of lavender and iso super E. There's some citrus at first, but it is definitely not a citrus bomb like CK One. There are some similarities in the base with CK One, but Obsessed is a different perfume all together. I like this as a fresh palette cleanser after a lot of sweet or floral perfumes as it smells clean and bright. I usually wear two sprays of this as any more can actually be very overwhelming at times. The longevity and silage are great, again due to the iso super E. If you do not like iso super E or fuzzy herbal scents then stay away from this one. If a kind of crystalized citrus-tinged lavender bud sounds good to you maybe give this one a go, especially in warmer months.

Another bland skin scent that doesn't bring anything to the table. Not really original and not really lasting.

Even though I love this I understand the hate. It's not for everyone. It's very 90's meets now, also a bit strong and masculine for a women's fragrance. I mostly get lavender, sage, violet leaf, and musk, all of which are some of my favorite notes. It has that nice balance between clean and musky. Also it almost smells..drinkable? Like a fresh herbal mixed drink but somehow still dark and woody, made with bourbon. The iso e super might be what brings this fragrance to the edge for some people (in a bad way). It's pretty heavy smelling and that synthetic note can pull it further into headache direction. BUT..I personally find this suits me very well. I think this works for a casual woman. T-shirt and jeans. Especially nice in spring and fall.

Oh dear. I was really prepared to like this one from the descriptions. I was expecting it to be much more herbally crisp and refreshing. The initial spray and top notes were highly pleasant sage-y floral. If it stayed that way throughout I would wear it. But hoo boy the dry down... is a scent that I hate. Blind bought some tiny testers of various Calvin Klein perfumes. I am already fan of Euphoria and flankers. Was really excited to try a fougere, but these base notes are so incredibly displeasing to me. They smell akin to STRONG vanilla, but it must be the musk mallow and iso e super. Have smelled it before in other things and it's awful, synthetic dreck. The other review that said it made her gag in the drydown, I agree with that. Hope I'm not ruining this for anybody, but it's a huge miss for me. It is possible that fougere concoctions are simply not my cup of tea. At least now I know.

This is straight up men's cologne Dry, unsweetened lavender it has a 'natural' smell. Not too perfumey or cologney Light, soft fresh and dry. To me this is perfect for layering and it does give you that relaxing lavender vibe if you'd spray it on your pillows

Citrusy in the opening and then quickly to soapy white musc. It´s not a sweet and cosy musc, it´s sharp and dry. I don´t understand that it´s listed “woman”, especially from CK, because to me it´s super unisex. Somebody wrote it smells YSL Libre or its flankers, I don´t see this at all. There´s no vanilla or woodiness in this one. YSL Libre has a sexy business woman vibe to it, whereas Obsession is more musky and soapy IMO. They have totally different vibes. I would recommend this to someone who wore Body Shops White Musc during the 90´s. It's very linear after 10 minutes, so this might be good for layering. Maybe to enhance musc in another fragrance or combine this one with something sweet to round the sharpness of the musc.

It was a bit jarring at first spray but by dry down it definitely started to remind me of highschool. Then bam it hit me, it's a remixed version of CK one. I like it, it's definitely not a love, it's honestly not my type of fragrance but I like the nostalgia it brings to my mind. It has decent legs and the sillage is good. I'll probably grab for it when I'm not going anywhere special and plan on being alone, especially since it's a nostalgic scent for me. It's great for what it is 🙂

Just to save someone from a blind buy gone wrong: I liked this on a paper tester and so sprayed it liberally on my wrists. By the time I had gone back to my car, Obsessed had caught in the back of my throat and I quickly got nauseas. Had to go straight home and wash it off. And yet it still had a soft nice scent on the tester I kept!?? Go figure. Might be best to try it on your skin for a few hours before purchase.

Smells like fresh thyme, iso E super and ambroxan

Smells just like CK one to me. So I was too quick to leave a review. This perfume smells like Obsession too. Its like a fresh Obsession. I like it! It's very nice and makes me feel nostalgic. It's also giving me slight hints of my all time favourite perfume Fendi which has been discontinued.

I wasn't expecting any resemblance to Obsession. And yet, while it certainly smells almost exactly like ck1, there is a spicy, ambery whisper that hearkens back to Obsession! I love this! I'm giving it as a gift to my ck1-loving mother but might need a bottle for myself. Edit: Despite being the type of woman that would NOT wear Obsession, Mom likes it! This smells fantastic on her. Somehow this marries two scent profiles that seem diametrically opposed. You get all the aromatic lavender and bergamot zestiness of CK1 but with a warm and lovely lightly spiced amber underneath, from Obsession. Mom's been wearing it for spring but I think it will be awesome for autumn. I see CK1 as spring/summer and Obsessed as an autumn/winter variation.

Obsessed can get too dense and heady (the musk is very noticeable) if you overspray, but misted once it smells fresh, a touch spicy, and the aromatic notes are softened and blurred by the musk, making it so feminine and sidewalk-wearable. Texturally it reminds me of Euphoria's seamless wood and orchid glow. White woods and minimalism.
