Obsession (for women)

rachellkimb

A got this as a gift in the form of one of those oil knock-offs. I almost used uo the whole bottle. I gave the rest to my best friend who also likes it. I won't be buying it for a while though. I like lighter, fruitier scents and florals.

Yummy! I wear this scent on special occasions. To me at first it goes on strong. Then it mellows to this warm sexy vanilla scent. My husband LOVES this perfume.

This perfume was popular at the time ,but after a few years the mob died down and now its really cheap ,but it is nice and smells so nice and citrusey

Obsession confuses me. It seems like everything I enjoy in a perfume: dark, incense, vanilla and musk with an animalistic civet note.. but this just didn't do it for me. It didn't even seem that strong, which is strange, due to its reputation as a heavy hitter. Maybe it has something to do with my chemistry, but I feel this one was a waste of money for me. I am age 20 and have no nostalgic connections with this scent, if that helps anyone.

almost the only spicy oriental perfume i don't like. i love opium, cinnabar, must de cartier etc, but this one makes me feel quite ill. sat on a bus once between birmingham and london behind someone wearing it and almost died. also had a colleague who made my life a complete misery who wore it. think the problem is probably the amber in the base, or maybe too much vanilla.

I tried this for the first time today and it reminds me so much of the incense at temples I visited when I lived in Korea (I just checked a box of incense to be sure- it's really similar!) It definitely is a bold, sexy fragrance that's not for every woman and I could see how men would like it- it's similar to the scents men might wear themselves but just feminine enough to be only for women.

Very deep, sensual and compelling. Mildly spicy if I recall. It would be a nice night time perfume.

I have this perfume. It has a fantastic, delicious smell and it does have a positive effect on men.

Cris_Venesza

Sensual , a strong perfume and after a while remains a seductive scent , i don't like it ...i don't dislike'it

artgoddess

I like to apply this around two hours before I am going out, to let it mellow. It is one of the most sensual, smoldering scents around and men LOVE it!!! I love the vanilla notes and it is very long lasting.

Indulgence at it's finest. I would never wear this scent with any outfit that wasn't warm (in color). It is romantic, warm, and classic. Maybe not right for a first date, but certainly good for a romantic anniversary.

It is a beautiful fall/winter scent, and I've never met someone that it didn't smell lovely on.

dayslikethese

A soperific, heady sent that lingers all day. It has a rich warmth that feels rather indulgient.

Creamy

A cup of mandarin orange spice tea in front of a warm crackling fire with a bowl of vanilla praline ice cream to soothe the tickle in your throat caused by the woodsmoke. A delightfully simple experience.

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.

artgoddess

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

kiselina

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.

cognac

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"

BlackAmberMoon

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.

wildflower

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

eccentricJ

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

Aeternitas

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!

KJanicki

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

SweetSwinger

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.

soirdelune

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.

Mitsouko

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.

Candra

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.

jeca

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

guest_Carrie1981

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