Byline: --HANNAH MORRILL
Calvin Klein Obsession epitomized the 1980s power scent. The new version modernizes it--without diluting its sexy edge. We asked Eva Mendes, star of the current ad campaign, and fragrance consultant Ann Gottlieb (who worked on both editions) to help us compare old and new.
OBSESSION
Launch: 1985
The Fragrance: A blend of amber, oakmoss, vanilla, and musk.
The Concept: Klein once said, "When one makes love, there is a certain scent that we give off.... That's the scent of Obsession." (The original name of the fragrance is rumored to have been Climax.)
The Bottle: Its curves mimic Klein's collection of Indian prayer stones.
