Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

This is one of my must haves on my dressing table and as soon as I get to half full (or half empty depending on how you look at life lol) of my bottle I rush out and purchase another one asap! It's a real firm favourite of mine and speaks volumes about who I am in my opinion. I had my first bottle bought for me in 1985 when the fragrance first came out, I do love my Mummy lol! It's changed very little in design bottle wise over the years and the ...
...best of my knowledge. The smell isn't for the faint hearted, I do warn you of that and is very, very rich indeed! It really is a fragrance that screams I'm here, and great for clubbing as the hotter you get the more the fragrance kicks in lol! A lot of people nowadays will actually say are you wearing Obsession?? lol It's very popular but I'd never call it 'common' at the same time and you find people love it or hate and are not afraid as to be so ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

...preferred but to no avail... Calvin Klein is one of the fore-runners of all things that I dislike about the trendy designer label clique; I know it sounds petty but I really didn't want to succumb to the allure of such a massive corporate company. However, once I had tried Obsession on at a perfume counter I was absolutely hooked and no matter which perfume I tried on after this fateful day, it just didn't compare. So I swept my principles under ...
...an Indian prayer stone from Calvin Klein's collection of objects that he acquired in Southwestern USA. Sorry Pierre, it just looks like a blob to me. But a very nice blob. The Obsession range consists of: Eau de parfum: 50ml £31.00, 30ml spray £19.50, 50ml spray £32.50 & 100ml spray £45.00 Body lotion: 200ml £31.25 Bath and Shower Gel: 200ml £21.50 (prices from Boots/www.Wellbeing.com) Obsession is certainly pricier than some, but it is a good ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

...of the man himself Mr Calvin Klein. So who is going to dispute those words? Not me that is for sure. This fragrance has to be my ‘extra special’ perfume. Do you have one? You know for the special person in your life, or that special occasion you are going to. This is mine. This fragrance first came onto the market in 1985 and is still going strong. When I hold this in my hands I cannot help but smile. The box it comes in, I would say is an off-white/cream ...
...the bottom you will see Calvin Klein, Eau de Parfum Spray, plus the amount the bottle holds. This one says 100ml. The box is plain and simple in its appearance but do not be fooled. Open the box and let the bottle fall into your hand. How would I describe the bottle? The best description that I would give is that it looks like a slightly flattened egg shape. The bottle is glass and the top is a brown plastic with a gold edged rim. On the bottle ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

Ever since my older sister first dabbed a tiny drop on my teenage wrist I have been hooked, and over a decade later I am still wearing it. I have had complete strangers walk up to me in the street and comment, I have had men 'sniff' me in the pub, and I have had taxi drivers remember me purely by my fragrance. I was wearing it when I met my husband, and I will continue until it no longer exists! CK has created many fragrances since this timeless ...
...Obession has. I personally prefer the dab on cologne style bottle, because even as a seasoned wearer it is all to easy to put on a tad too much, and then you only get noticed for all the wrong reasons. The dark amber coloured liquid goes a long way, and though it can be said it is quite expensive,even a small bottle lasts well. I have found that a few drops on a small piece of card, placed in a lingerie draw is nicer than any drawer liner, and a ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

...just come across Obsession by Calvin Klien purely by accident in my local Boots I was acually after a bottle of Eternity but sprayed myself with this instead. At first I did actually think phewwww bit too strong for me, but after about half an hour of smelling this some what heady and oriental fragrance, I was hooked and marched straight back to Boots to buy a bootle. Obsession is the kind of perfume that little is more. This is not the kind of ...
...be too over powering. It has great staying power so a re spray is not really needed. Obsession, has an oriental smell to it mixed with a kind of earthy/woody smell. It lingers but some how does not deminish in it's intensity. More suited for evening wear then day wear. If used subtley it gives an air of sophistication. I would suggest a quick spray at a perfume counter and then leave it for about an hour before deciding to buy as I did find the ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

Recently, while visiting a friend, she spontaneously remarked how much she liked hanging my jackets because of the fragrance my clothes give off. Now, not only is it useful to have a perfume that encourages others to hang your clothes up, but Obsession is a fragrance that I want to be associated with. I hate those perfumes that smell of soap or that awful chemical approximation of fresh air. I want my scent to leave behind me a memory that fits ...
...a smell, this is what I would want to be. It's spicey, warm and subtly demanding of attention. It is not floral, boringly pastel, nor harsh and bold. It leaves behind a suggestion of a caress in the air. There is also a hint of oriental mystery that appeals to me. It was the name that first attracted me - it certainly wasn't the packaging. (I've never liked brown - the colour of the plastic top). Obsession is a fragrance you notice. My friends have, ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

Well as one of my previous ops says “We all have our little obsessions”. Ok then some of us happen to have a few never read of any rules against such a thing have you. Like most women I have a tendency to like my perfumes. I find I tend to stick to the ole favourites I am not one for trying all these new ones I know what I like so I stick to it. I find I never tire of my perfumes I have a few that have to be in the bathroom as I like to have a choice. ...
...Obsession 2. Givenchy Amerige 3. Chloe Narcisse 4. Lancome Tresor 5. YSL Paris The one I am going to talk about today is Obsession, this is my overall favourite I would definitely say this is the one I wear most frequently and I will wear it day or night. ~~~What does it smell of~~~~~~~ Well obviously this is the most important aspect of a perfume review as I know those of us with a brain do not buy a perfume for the appearance of the bottle ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

Many predicted that Obsession, like certain other scents which came to the fore in the 80s, would disappear once that decade was well behind us. Well, the longlivity and enduring popularity of this scent has certainly confounded those critics. It may not be quite as popular as it was, but those of us who wear it because we love it, rather than because it's trendy, can only be pleased about that! I love Obsession because it's a true oriental but with ...
...or disintegrate to somewhat unpleasant base notes as some of its competitors do. I also find it tends to stay 'true' on most skins, whereas some perfumes can alter substantially with skin chemistry. The only downside is that much of the accompanying skin and bathcare range is overpriced and not up to the standard one would hope. ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

This has been a recent addition to my perfume collection, and i can certainly say that it is now one of my favourites. Although Obsession has been around for some time, i have only really recently sampled it whilst out on my travels around the perfume counters, and now i wouldn't be without it. Not for the faint hearted this one, it's quite a strong perfume with a spicy aroma - very sexy indeed! I got a little gift set of this which had a 30ml spray ...
...nice to use, the scent lasts and it absorbs very easily considering it is quite a rich cream. If you don't like strong perfumes then you may not like this one - or you may find it nice to wear occasionally on that special night out, me i just like to wear it all the time. A little pricey for some - £32 for 50ml spray but a little goes a long way and it's worth it. ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

This is a nice perfume, it's not the nicest and certainly not for every day wear - well not for me anyway. It's not a day perfume, more for the evenings as it's not that light. You don't need very much of it as it's strong and lasts well. It's sort of floral but is quite heavy and too much on smells a bit sickly. It's a very deep smell and I often can't tell the difference between the male and female versions - they are very similar. There just seems ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

This must be one of my all time best fragrances. Obsession has a very musky smell to it and is quite strong so I would recommend that you only spray on your neck and dab your wrists on it. The smell is not overpowering if you use it in little amounts. It comes in all sizes, 30 ml which costs around £19.99, 50 mls which costsat £31.99 and a 100 ml bottle retailing at £40.00. I only but mine when they have offer on, I bought a 100ml bottle for £55 ...
...and a shower gel. You can if you cant afford to splash out on the perfume just buy a soap which costs £12 and comes in a lovely soap holder or the shower gels and body lotions available. This perfume is suited more for nights out, when you smell it you will understand why, everybody comments on how nice it smells. It has excellent staying power and lasts all night so no need to keep applying, and it lasts a very long time This is a very nice perfume ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

...find that if you like Calvin Klein's other perfumes, especially Eternity and Escape, you will like Obsession. I will say that it is quite a strong perfume and in my experience it is more popular with the men than women. Men tend to find it an attractive smell whilst a lot of female friends have commented that it is a bit too strong. This cannot be helped, even if you only put a small dab on. My mother has described it as smelling like "toilet cleaner!". ...
...is a love it or hate it fragrance. It is definitely not an everyday perfume, I would recommend it for evening wear only. Even then make sure that you do not put too much on otherwise you will end up smelling like Boots' perfume counter! I find that the smell lasts all night and longer. To get a more subtle effect, the body lotion is strong enough to wear without the perfume itself. ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

I love this perfume - though it must be applied in moderation, as it can get a little overpowering (!). A beautiful, almost woody undertone works well with a texture that reminds one of a bowl of spices that might be seen in a market in India. wearing it makes you feel instantly sexy, being such a wonderfully seducitve scent. perfect if you want something different that will provide an instant confidence boost. It lasts a wonderfully long time too, ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

When I go out of an evening I like a perfume that is stronger than my usual daytime choices. I love heavy perfumes but feel overly aware of them during the day and just find that they aren't appropriate for me especially in my close work environment as well as one of my colleagues hating this one, I opt for delicate fresher scents to make sure I am happy but others are also. There is only one perfume I really wear on nights out and it has been the ...
...I think it is gorgeous and would wear it all day everyday if I could! This is a very warm, exotic, spicy scent, which is very heady with a very sexy head turning quality. I have lost count of the amount of times people I don't know have turned to me and told me I smelt fantastic. This is not suitable for a shrinking violet, it is a strong oriental scent with a heart of amber. It will last for ages! I have worn it during the day on rare occasions ...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray

I first came across this scent on a boyfriend (the aftershave version!) and I absolutely loved it, I couldn't get enough of it and could be found with my nose attached to his neck most of the time! Heavy, musky and very, very sexy! So I decided to try the perfume for myself and boy, was I disappointed! It smells completely different, lighter and sickly smelling, it made me feel sick. I adore very heavy, musky fragrances and was upset that I paid ...
...to the mens version. The fragrance didn't last too long either. The bottle is a little more interesting than the aftershave but I would of prefered it to smell the same! So after one spray and no way could I bear to use it again, it went in the jumble bag. I will be splashing out on the aftershave, ooh I can smell it now!! ...
