The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2005 by Calvin Klein, Obsession Night for Men is an Oriental Woody fragrance that marries warm spiciness with aromatic freshness. The scent opens with the bright burst of pear and grapefruit, punctuated by cardamom and nutmeg, creating a vibrant top layer. As it settles, artemisia adds a subtle herbal depth, while musk and vanilla weave through a base of patchouli and vetiver, grounding the composition in rich earthiness.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a strong presence throughout the evening. The spicy top notes are fleeting, but the woody base ensures lasting warmth. Best suited for nighttime wear when its richness can be fully appreciated.
