A fresh citrus explosion at the top notes (tangerine grapefruit lime and bergamot) is harmonized with a floral sharpness of lavender nut spiced notes of coriander and warm cinnamon. Carnation (along with jasmine rose tree and pine) is restrained with warm patchouli sandalwood vetiver benzoin vanilla and amber. Subtle aroma of red berries enforces the structure adding sensuousness and characteristic to the perfume. The creator of this fragrance is Bob Slattery and the bottle designer is Pierre Dinand. Obsession for Men was launched in 1986 a year after the female version. This fragrance pair belongs to one of the most popular ones in the 80s. In 2005 their nighttime heir was presented: Obsession Night. Obsession for Men is the 1987 FiFi award winner. See the article about Calvin Klein on fragrantica.
