Obsession Sheer Calvin Klein for women

this is an interesting scent. i havent tryed the original and did not know what to expect by trying this . first a blast off citrus, mixed whit vanilla and tagetes , fresh and a sligt bit off powder.i thought. mm not bad not bad.. But then the insenc and coriander takes ower and it gets a bit to much , the powedryness is still there . but now its much more spicy and a bit sickenly on my skin , The vanilla turns a bit almondy and that mixing whit coriander ... not my thing..
i could not wear this all day , but i would love to smell it on others pasing by.. a sniff and walk besid scent. he he .
nice but not for me , lukely its just a sample

As a lover of Obsession who often finds it too strong for particular situations I was intrigued to try Sheer Obsession. Its Obsession for daytime use. Anyone familiar with Obsession would definitely recognise Sheer as part of that family, but its quiter, softer, sweeter, even suitable for office wear. The sillage is very good and the lasting power is incredible, 11 hours so far!!!! Such a shame its no longer available. Hey CK, re-release this one, please???

I love this fragrance. More's the pity because I can't find it anywhere (I was given a miniature CK perfume pack). This is one of the few perfumes that never gives me sinus headaches, or has harsh chemical after notes. And every once in a while I turn my head and think 'Mmmm. That smells lovely.' And then I realise it's me.

I dont like obsession ,the original,since its too spicy,too much cinnamon ,its masculine and intoxikating on me, i feel like a cookery.still,its well done and has class,i admit that. then i came to have a smple of obsession sheer.
Now thats an entirely different thing!! My payers was answered!
Everything i liked about obsession,is here,but softened down to an enjoyable level,you can only hint the spices ,and the maculinity is taken off,thanks to some bautiful flowers that softens it up .
Its still an obsessionsscent,but mild and romantic,a bit more polite and it doesnt stay on you forever,wich i find positive.
Try it,its a beauty!

at first it opens with a quick bite of citruses, even too quick to notice if you are applying in a hurry.
then all I can smell for entire day is soft incense, pinch of coriander spice, powdery vanilla and just a touch of amber as it's fading.
it is never a loud performer, rather an intimate companion to my nose only.

I was searching for a 'foggy' perfume to evoke a sight I like to experience - in the early mornings going over the bridge and seeing river of my town covered with fog and little birds floating on it's surface looking like paper origami's from a distance.
now I can invoke those moments just by breathing when I have Obsession Sheer on me!

Not sure why, but to me all CK fragrances give me a headache, stuffy nose & watery eyes. They also smell like Raid bug spray to me - not saying it stinks like Raid - it actually smells like Raid to me.

I don't really remember the original one, so I just describe this fragrance without comparison.
It's spicy - I smell clearly the coriander and I would have sworn there is nutmeg in it, and a hint of curry ;)
The citrus as bergamot and especially the mandarin are clearly detectable after the first blast of spices.
I like the scent the most within the first 10-30 min:
the spices settle, amber softens and the mandarin offers just a bit of balance so it doesn't become to heavy with incence. What I really have to cope with is the drydown heavy-dusty incence I suppose, makes me want to scrub it off.
Although it is "sheer" - I can't wear it daily or during daytime. It's too spicy-heavy on me; on some days I even get headaches from it.
It's a love-hate relationship: I know I can't sell or give it away - I'd miss it. But I wear it so seldom it's embarassing...
I can't detect the tagetes,overmore even if there are flowers, they aren't outstanding or strong.
I don't know why it is in the floriental section - on me and to me it is plainly oriental-spicy.
The perfume does last up to 10 hrs (not strong but it's there) - and you get it in Online-shops from the Uk / ebay quite reasonable priced...

is the musk note detactable? is it a strong one? does the scent linger?

I agree with LadyJedi. Sheer is instantly recognizable as Obsession, but softened and more "user friendly". For those that love the original, this is a great daytime option. Sad that it's been discontinued!

A well done sheer version of the great original Obsession. A fresh oriental blend of spices and flowers in the opening combined with a powdery earthy blend of amber, vanilla and musk in the base notes. Unlike the original Obsession Sheer is not too strong for daytime and office wear. Unfortunately it is impossible to find where I live - they say it has been withdrawn from the market :(
