The Calvin Klein Obsessed perfume for women Calvin Klein is a resolutely modern and avant-garde house. It quickly made a name for itself in the world of perfumery, notably thanks to the creation of its perfume Obsession, in 1985.
Beyond its incredible bestseller CK One from the 90s, the Calvin Klein perfume house can be proud of having made a strong impact with its very first perfume in 1985, Obsession, composed by Jean Guichard. As a tribute to this fiery perfume that played with light, Calvin Klein chose in 2017 to offer two perfumes that would play with the codes of their elder: Obsessed For Men and Obsessed For Women. Two fragrances that will not go unnoticed!
Obsessed for Women, or Calvin Klein's return to the delights of mixing genres
Obsession marked the Calvin Klein house's spectacular debut in perfumery. Sensual and opulent notes, striking advertising campaigns with the then-unknown top model Kate Moss, Obsession made a great impression and opened the door to the formidable international success of Ck One a few years later.
Now a cult classic, the oriental and passionate juice of Obsession for women was revisited in 2017 by Honorine Blanc and Annick Menardo, to our great delight, with Obsessed for Women, released simultaneously with its counterpart Obessed for Men.
Obsessed For Women thus draws inspiration from its 1985 predecessor while being absolutely modern and remarkably original. Indeed, its great originality lies particularly in its breaking down of boundaries between classic aromatic scents and avant-garde wild and sensual notes, between floral and very feminine notes and masculine aromatic accords.
Just like CK One, Obsessed For Women seeks distinction through its singularity rather than confinement within the usual categories of perfumery.
A blend of memories and desires, of masculine and feminine, of past and present, forming a fragrance that echoes Obsession, now reformulated into accords for both women and men. Calvin Klein for Obsessed for Women.
The surprising meeting between aromatic notes and feminine, sensual notes: Obsessed For Women
Moreover, the mixing of genres is not only noticeable in the Obsessed for Women bottle. Because the two perfumers brought together for the composition of this Obsessed For Women are themselves very different: where Annick Ménardo breathes in novel and modern notes, Honorine Blanc asserts the fragrance's temperament with force. A notable difference between these two creators that becomes a strength for Obsessed For Women.
Obsessed For Women thus opens on fresh citrus notes of elemi lemon. This rather masculine opening is nonetheless tinged with an exotic and opulent orange blossom. Then at the heart, lavender and sage form a powerful aromatic accord that is softened by the powdery sweetness of a subtle and feminine touch of violet. Finally, musk, ambrette and musconone recall the wild strength of Obsessed's great elder, Obsession, while forming a novel sillage for a perfume that is ultimately very feminine.
