Our take on the Obsession by Calvin Klein Eau De Parfum Spray for Women

Obsession by Calvin Klein is an oriental eau de parfum for women, launched in 1985 and still one of the brand's signature scents. It opens with bergamot, mandarin and peach over jasmine, coriander and orange blossom, then settles into vanilla, amber and sandalwood. It is a warm, heavy evening fragrance with 6-8 hours of longevity and moderate sillage. The 4.6-star average from about 4,900 ratings reflects a long, loyal following rather than a new release.

Questions and answers

Is Obsession worth it?
If you like warm oriental scents with amber and vanilla, yes. It lasts 6-8 hours and costs far less than most designer eau de parfums. Sample it first if you dislike sweet, heavy fragrances.
How does it compare to the original 1985 formula?
Current bottles are widely reported to be lighter and less animalic than vintage 1985 stock. The amber-vanilla core is still there, but longtime fans may notice a difference.
How long does it last?
About 6-8 hours on skin, with stronger projection in the first 2-3 hours. It lasts longer on clothing and in cool weather.
Is it too strong for the office?
It can be. One or two sprays to the wrists or behind the ears is enough for daytime. Save heavier application for evenings.
What sizes and formats are available?
It comes as an eau de parfum spray in several bottle sizes, plus matching body lotion and shower gel. Check the listing for the exact size and what is included.
When is it cheapest?
Discount fragrance sites and department store sales around holidays tend to have the lowest prices. Large bottles usually cost less per ounce than small ones.
