The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Calvin Klein and crafted by perfumers Honorine Blanc-Hattab and Annick Ménardo, Obsessed for Women Intense is a daring departure from the brand's usual minimalism. The composition opens with elemi and citrus notes that create a fresh, aromatic burst, followed by lavender and sage that lend an herbal warmth. The base of musk, amber, and labdanum adds depth and longevity, grounding the scent in a rich, enveloping warmth. This fragrance is designed to be both bold and intimate, capturing the essence of modern sophistication.

How to wear it

Given its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, Obsessed for Women Intense doesn't need heavy application. A single spray on pulse points is enough to ensure it stays close to your skin throughout the day, allowing the aromatic opening to seamlessly transition into the rich base notes.
