The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Obsession, blue is Calvin Klein. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Orris RootWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenCalvin Klein brings floral; Obsession brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list peach, sandalwood, oakmoss and cedar and 4 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Obsession is long lasting and strong, Calvin Klein long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointObsession first, then Calvin Klein over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
