Advantages: Strong, long lasting and cheap Disadvantages: Too strong, fruity smell lingers and vile looking bottle
...life, Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein.
Obviously as the aftershave was well over 4 years old it smelt disgusting but after some consideration I purchased a bottle for £21.00 for 50ml from www.fragrancedirect.co.uk. This is surprisingly cheap in comparison to how much it used to cost however it should be noted that you would pay £25-£30 in the shops for the same bottle. Obsession is widely available from all Boots, Bodycare and Rackhams. My bottle ... ...long time to come.
I can’t recommend this, but what I would say is try out a tester just to see if you can handle the fruity side of Calvin Klein.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Thanks for taking the time to read and rate.

Advantages: None that I can think of Disadvantages: Toom many too list - Just an awful fragrance
...was Obsession for men from Calvin Klein. Having disliked CK1, CKBe and the CK fragrance stored in a plastic pencil case (the name of which escapes me) I have never been a fan of Calvin Klein fragrance in the past but since it was a gift I gratefully accepted it.
****Packaging/bottle****
Considering this is meant to be a man’s fragrance this is one of the most feminine bottles that I have ever seen.
The bottle is oval in shape that slightly tapers ... ...product is aimed at. Whilst Calvin Klein is a strong brand this particular fragrance is not. The smell of this is not masculine in any way, even though it is aimed at men. It is a fragrance that a woman could get away with and not be labelled butch but I don’t think there are many woman that would like this. Even my other half turned her nose up at this.
****Application****
Obsession is only available in an eau de toilette (i.e. with a spray application).

Advantages: lasts for ages, warm and spicy scent Disadvantages: some women may act strangely around you
...an earthy warm base - Calvin Klein then transformed the OBSESSION fragrance into a unique formula for men altering the original fragrance to have a fiery and masculine profile.
It has remained a top-ranking fragrance in the marketplace where few brands have achieved such long-term success. The fragrance blends botanicals, spices and rare woods into a potent, powerful and intensely provocative scent. This aftershave must have some kind of special ... ...me. Do you remember the Television adverts about Impulse where the guys run up and give the girl flowers 'because she's wearing impulse'? Well, reverse the roles and I would be the same ...only be assured I wouldn't give you flowers!
So, you may ask why? The scent is very warm and it's one of those all enveloping heady aftershaves. By that I don't mean strong, more ever present. This means that when you (the men) move about we (the women) get tantalising ...

Advantages: Gorgeous and most distinctive aroma, affordable, stylish packaging Disadvantages: None that I can think of
I love this fragrance because my husband used to wear it when we were courting. In those days I would sniff my cusions and clothes when he had been near them to get that smell of 'him'. That way I could be reminded of his lovely presence even when he was not there.
Obsession is *the* superlative men's fragrance because it is so unlike any other aftershave I have ever smelt. Whereas most aftershaves are very cool, green or citrus like, Obsession ... ...hints of vanilla, myrhh and spices and the fragrance just blows me away. I just love it when I get a whiff of hubby when he is wearing Obsession. I just *have* to go up to him and nuzzle his furry chest which traps the molecules of fragrance wonderfully. Although I would say this fragrance wouldn't be to every man's (or their woman's) liking, my husband always has plenty in stock - I see to that! It's sexy, sensual and extremely evocative. If ever ...

Advantages: Super aroma, clean scent; you'll feel good just wearing it Disadvantages: none
Obsession is one of the ageless and timeless fragrances. First launched in 1985. You never get bored of it and you keep going back to it again and again. This is a fragrance which has survived the 80's, 90's and the 00's. Reading through the manufacturers website this fragrance supposedly gives you hints of lavender, mandarin, clove, nutmeg and amber. The smell of this perfume is slightly musky with a hint of cinnamon
Personally for me it is just ... ...Every women I been out with have commented on this fragrance some have even recognised it outright when in a crowded busy bar!
I have read that smell is the strongest sense when it comes to nostalgic memories from the past, so if you want somebody to remember your scent, Obsession is the one for you
This fragrance is definitely keep the women in your life happy and if there are none it is definitely a hit with the single ladies.
One of the good ...

...scent on him, it was Calvin Kleins Obsession, I was surprised, usually I can spot an aroma at fifty yards and shun from men wearing aftershave or perfume, but my nose hadn,t run once. I found that this fragrance was very pleasant. I bought some the next time I was in town and my hubby liked the scent too.
He now uses it for going out and like I said I have just bought some for christmas, so if your short of and idea then here it is.

Advantages: good value Disadvantages: cannot think of any
Obsession for men is an aftershave that I bough for my uncle two years ago and I still remember thinking how good value it was, compared to other leading aftershaves it was decently priced at about £35, my uncle liked my choice and now is a consistent buyer of the aftershave. He claims it smells really nice and can still be smelt on you the next day. I say a definite buy and recommend this to any guy cause I have smelt it and smell real nice, so ...
