I LOVE THIS SCENT!
It is so strong, so spicy and SO SEXY. Its not a 'pretty' scent...its a sexy one. There is nothing girly about it you have to be all woman to pull it of.. truly delicious!!
If you want to steal attention from EVERY other woman at a party or dinner... this will do it. I suggest killer heels and a generous helping of Obsession and every man will stare at your hungrily all night long.

I just adore this fragrance - it's warm, spicy, sexy and I especially love the long amber dry-down. It is a very strong scent, so if using a spray bottle, one needs to be circumspect about how much one sprays on - a splash bottle would better enable the user to control the amount used. But the up-side to that is that the scent will last all day long! This would be a great scent for autumn and winter - autumn because it matches the overall scent of autumn, and winter because it is so warm. Because it is a very strong fragrance, I would recommend a person testing it out before making the purchase, to make sure it doesn't overwhelm them (like Opium does me).

I did ordered a 12 ml. bottle for a couple of days ago. My bestfriend used this when we where younger. The amber is so delicious and powdery. I smelled it on a woman on my way to work today. Great perfume!

Someone broke a bottle at work and it just about knocked everyone out. I think it smells like bad body odor. Maybe worse. Makes my eyes burn.

Sweet, sensual and provacative, perfect for a romantic evening. I would not wear this for casual wear or to the office.

Very strong, masculine scent. I can smell only cinnamon, insense and amber in it, in my opinion it is very close to Tabu by Dana.
I don't find it sexual or seductive, just insolent and unneccessary heavy.

The whole of the 90"s i doused my self with obsession to a point of boredom.
I did love the spicy notes .reminded me of incense.
However most stores dont carry this anymore.

I've long hesitated to write about CK Obsession for Women, because what could I possibly say about this incredible classic that hasn't already been said? This fragrance is absolute rich, heavy, ambery decadent lust in a bottle. The peach note takes all the earthy, slightly bitter aroma in the soft fuzzy rind, and none of the sugary candy bits that show up in other peach fragrances. The oakmoss and civet are given in generous amounts, producing a heady, wrist-sniffing addiction that lasts for hours. The amber is no subtle hint grounding things, but is instead the central pillar supporting throughout. The end result is a comforting, sensual, sexual, breath-taking experience.
As cliche' as it is to say this - I do so very much wish that Obsession had not been so overwhelmingly popular, but instead was a delightful little secret of a niche scent, just for me and a select few other dark-amber-and cashmere-fanatics to enjoy.
All is well, though: because we have Anne Pliska.....

This is the best description I can give to this perfume "Very Sexual"

One of the sexiest perfumes of all time. Poor Obsession has suffered from overexposure, but it's still one of the great ones for seduction. Men go weak in the knees when they smell this. The trick is to apply it sparingly; it's a big perfume with tremendous sillage. I don't understand the "dated" comments - if a perfume is good, it's good, and Obsession has stood the test of time.

I like it, but I don't wear it often, since it is a bit aged..

I might like this one if it didn't remind me of my mother 15 years ago.

Why has it taken me so long to discover and adore Obsession? I'm almost ashamed of myself ;p. To me it is not dated considering I'm young and can't say I wore it throughout the 80s, and generally I just find it wearable even today. It's beautiful. I smell most of the cinnamon, vanilla, and spices notes with some sandalwood. It seems very strong at first spray, but it is surprisingly warm and not obnoxious on the dry down. I love smelling myself with this on. A new, oriental winter fragrance for me!

For me this perfume smells very sexy but dated. Perhaps because I wore it from senior year through university.

This pairs well with a cup of hot tea, a great book and a comfortable bed.
Drys down to a warm and mildly spiced vanilla/amber.

A perfume of memories for me, of my first year at university. This was a groundbreaking scent when it appeared in the '80s, and was very distinctive and original. Sadly, this means that I will probably never go back to wearing it: it is rooted in a very particular time and place for me and many of my friends from that time, to the extent that it now smells rather dated. Pungent, but sensual and interesting. I much preferred the non-spray EDT to the spray version -- much warmer and smoother on the skin.

Like Candra, I had Obsession (Obsession CK, of course) long ago, but I remember this warmth and nice cinnamon smell. Predominatly,orientally whiffs are some sad for me, but Obsession CK for my nose is very sunny.

I had this perfume in my collection many years ago. I don't remember the smell, but what I remembered was that I got many compliments when I used this perfume. I will go test this one again.
07/27/08 05:59:34

i love this perfume, it is very comforting for me, I smell cinnamon and amber in it.

Mild spice, subtle citrus notes and warm vanilla with a hint of incense. Delicious!
