Obsession by Calvin Klein Highly Recommended by Whom You Know-Perfect For Fall, This New Classic is a Splendid Punctuation to the Chill in the Air

Obsession 

Passionate · Powerful · Sexy 

"I wanted to evoke the sensuality and ardor of an impassioned woman. A woman who allows herself to experience a romantic obsession and invites a man to do the same." - Calvin Klein 

The 1985 launch of OBSESSION fragrance revolutionized the prestige fragrance business with its feverish intensity and irresistible appeal and when Peachy Deegan was a kid she used to go into the department stores and try this out so no wonder we are still talking about it decades later. When Calvin Klein asked the question, “Who hasn't felt passion beyond reason?” he tapped into a special fantasy that any woman could relate to. A lasting and powerful experience that's as appealing today as it was at launch. 

OBSESSION fragrance. An intense and powerful oriental scent. OBSESSION is an intoxicating blend of florals and spices with an earthy, warm base; intensely feminine and long lasting.

Bottle design by Pierre Dinand. The round sculptured lines and sensuous curves are a modern interpretation of the Indian prayer stones in Calvin Klein's collection. Holding the bottle reveals its depth and smooth surfaces. Light hitting the crystal, reflecting a cool, amber glow. Every element is pure and elegant.
