Obsession Eau De Toilette Spray by Calvin Klein - 30 ml

Let me start off by saying Im not a real fan of the Original Obsession fragrance, or pretty much most of Calvin Kleins fragrance line. But, I smelled this sample of Dark Obsession at a high end store, and decided to purchase one here on Ebay for a real discounted price. I get it a couple days later, spray 2 quick ones on the rop of my hands, and I get a real nice dark, woodsy semi spicey and semi sweet scent. Not bad I say. Anyways, I decided to use it during a night out on a weekend and the reactions and compliments I recieved just blew me away. Regular night at a sports clubrestuarant and I was amazed at the performance of this frag. Dont know a thing about note breakdown, but this thing performs very well. On me, I got 8 hours, and projection was great the first ... MoreLet me start off by saying Im not a real fan of the Original Obsession fragrance, or pretty much most of Calvin Kleins fragrance line.

Regular night at a sports clubrestuarant and I was amazed at the performance of this frag. Dont know a thing about note breakdown, but this thing performs very well. On me, I got 8 hours, and projection was great the first 2 or 3 hours. Top it off, I left there and picked up my girlfriend from her job and she dug her nose into my chest and neck and literally was on top of me in the drivers seat She loved it that much. I used mainly for evening and nights out in the summer and it works even better in fallwinter. Daytime use can be a little to much with this frag in my opinion, but you might be able to pull this off. This juice works real good gents, your lady friend and the ladies will find this scent alluring and sexy. Everytime Iput it on and walk down a mall or restaurant, especially with a group of ladies around, out of the corner of my eyes I can see the heads snap around. Thats all that counts. The girlfriend hates it when a female comes up and asks you smell great, what is that I look at my girlfriend with a sheepish grin and a wink, she always answers for me. I get a kick out of it. Trust me guys, sleeper frag here. Will not disappoint. Enjoy

A feminine perfume, with allure and complexity. The first note that hits me is vanilla, with the citrus undertone. I read recently that men are drawn to vanilla, since it reminds them of their mothers breast milk. Perhaps that is why vanilla is used so often in milk dishes, ice cream, and cookies. Along with the vanilla and citrus, normally a very clean smelling scent, are the spicy notes. Think cinnamon or cardamom, again with the food connections, as well as other associations with spices. We spice our food, to make it come alive in the mouth. It brings interest to dull food, and awakens other tastes as well, highlights the tastes that are already present. Underneath all this, are the bass notes, that seem to suggest a Mother Nature, earth queen theme. The overall ... MoreA feminine perfume, with allure and complexity.

Underneath all this, are the bass notes, that seem to suggest a Mother Nature, earth queen theme. The overall effect isnt flowery, although a bit of jasmine floats by here and there, mostly giving complexity to the orange blossom note. The overall effect is anything but one dimensional. Actually, if you just inhale it once its sprayed, only the top notes register, the vanilla, the orange flowers and jasmine. Your initial reaction might not register the full symphony of notes. The themes take a few moments to develop, so the alcohol can evaporate, leaving the essential oils to mingle with your natural body oils and scent. At that point, its fair to react to the scent.As a guy, the smell makes me salivate, strikes up a bit of hunger perhaps. The themes suggested above, vanilla mothers milk, clean citrus, exotic spicy tastes, and deep mother nature allure, seem to come and go within the nasal palate. How people emotionally react to these scents defies description. Scent is a very primitive sense in people, more connected to food, hunger, and sex pheromones, than anything else. So if having yourself eaten up, consumed in whatever way that means to you, appeals to you, give Obsession a try. This scent has been around for awhile, so if youre unfamiliar with the scent, go to a better quality department store with a perfume counter, and test it.

More than most perfume houses, Calvin Klein is all about statement fragrances that reflect the zeitgeist. Eternity, created in 1988, was clearly Kleins antidote to the hilariously raunchy Obsession, an orgiastic spicerack of an oriental that was starting to seem out of place in the burgeoning AIDS epidemic. Eternity took that immoral landscape and disinfected it with immaculate laundry musk and pristine freesia lilies not to mention the magazine ads with Christy Turlington embracing her wellscrubbed husband and kids. But there is nothing subtle or shy about Eternity it is loud as hell, rather like being pelted with fresh soap shot from a cannon. It is, after all, still an 80s creation. It wasnt until 94 that Klein went subtle, with the citrusy CK One. I love ... MoreMore than most perfume houses, Calvin Klein is all about statement fragrances that reflect the zeitgeist.

It wasnt until 94 that Klein went subtle, with the citrusy CK One. I love Eternity all the same. I wore it for years after its release, and man did I feel sexy in my black spandex and leather jacket with the hyperfeminine Eternity aura wafting from its lapels This is the rare scent for which reformulation in recent years works in its favor. The new Coty Prestige version can actually be sprayed three or four times without fumigating everyone in a 5mile radius. Its still pretty potent. And, its still pretty as hell.
