Obsessed for Men Calvin Klein cologne – a fragrance for men 2017

Calvin Klein Obsessed For Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of very sweet, spices, and fruity accords. The opening is aromatic, dense, and very pleasant. The vanilla is a base note but it comes up as soon as the fragrance is sprayed creating a sweet and aromatic note; the grapefruit, lemon, and pineapple are opening aromatic citrus and fruity notes, the pineapple is more prominent than the lemon and grapefruit; the pepper and cardamom add a spicy touch, similarly, the lavender adds a soft floral touch. The leather that initially was a whiff starts developing, nothing bold, but projecting and aromatic; similarly, the cedar and labdanum join with fragrance with fresh woody and sweet, ambery accords respectively; the ambroxan also joins the blend with its ambery and powdery projecting note but not as strong as the vanilla; the cinnamon joins the vanilla with a sweet-spicy touch. The patchouli and geranium are support faint notes. The most noticeable opening to dry-down changes in this fragrance is the very fruity and citrusy opening, these notes are at the top closely followed by the spices; as the fragrance dries down, these fruity notes significantly dissipate, and in their place, the fragrance brings the sweet resinous touches of the labdanum and cinnamon, projected by the leather, vanilla, and ambroxan. Once Calvin Klein Obsessed has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a very sweet, resinous, and leathery fragrance with woody, spicy, soft floral, and fruity accords. The fragrance feels casual, comforting, delectable, dense, gourmand, inviting, mature, mild, inviting, masculine, modern, leathery, resinous, rich, sweet, syrupy, warm, woody and very pleasant.
