Obsessed

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Calvin Klein Obsessed for Women

Obsessed for Women is a soft lavender vanilla scent, and our version keeps that feel: a fresh citrus and lavender opening, a soft floral heart, and a warm vanilla base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Released in 2017 and co-crafted by Honorine Blanc and Annick Menardo, the nose behind Bvlgari Black and Hypnotic Poison, Calvin Klein Obsessed for Women is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic 1985 Obsession, lighter and softer around a white lavender and vanilla.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the bergamot, mandarin and white lavender fresh up top, let neroli, elderflower and jasmine carry the middle, and finish on a warm vanilla, amber and musk base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer release. We build ours at a higher perfume oil concentration so the soft notes last longer, while keeping the same clean character.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who wants a soft, clean, cosy lavender vanilla for everyday wear.

Common Questions

How close is it to Calvin Klein Obsessed for Women?

It follows the soft lavender and vanilla character of the original closely. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

Is this the same perfume as Calvin Klein Obsessed for Women?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans feminine and is ideal for everyday wear in any season.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
