I'm 52 and it's the only fragrance I've been wearing since 1987. THE BEST. 😊

[@marvinbarksdale4915]

Why does it looks a woman's fragrance

[@davidGPS95]

​@@marvinbarksdale4915 yes the bottle does look like a ladies perfume 😂

[@davidGPS95]

Do you wear it in the Summer ?

[@biggboi1967]

Flashback alert! This was my very first fragrance and I wore it for soooo long. It makes me reminisce my youth.

[@Redolessence]

I love the memories that fragrances bring back!

[@kakarotblack2778]

Seeing a lot of older people (no offense at all) talking how this was their first fragrance or something, im 19 now and im using this one, so im glad im using a good one at this age cause everyone seems to like it, i hope i can also develope my scent even more and continue to use great fragrances like this one

[@iatrica]

Hey guy.. i'am 45 and obsession was my first fragance given to me by my very first girlfriend. So I know what you are talking abaout and I know that some smells are forever whilst others are not.. Actually, today I have just bought a new 125ml Obsession. Whatever.... It is hard to forget some smells....

[@SunnyDarkoShow]

W bro for locking in so soon

[@SunnyDarkoShow]

@KMVS8686 i get the “my bed smells like you” haha love it man

[@thebadgamer1967]

Truth I'm 56 and it was my first luxury aftershave, moved up from brute and old spice lol 😂

[@MoahGentle]

You can wear modern fragrances while showing some respect and love to some ogs

[@Xbox.4388]

I absolutely love this scent glad you reviewed this because not many people talk about it and it's still smell strong despite the reformulations I would only wear this in the fall and winter.

[@michaelshelton5488]

I'm 49 years old and this was the first fragrance I ever wore in my 20's back in the 1990's and I still have a bottle in my collection and it holds its own against the more modern ones I own. Not outdated by any means.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for sharing, Michael! I hope you have a great day!

[@KidWithThePen21]

So glad that you reviewed this one. I feel like this is one of the single most under-mentioned bangers out there

[@kevingunawan4802]

100% Love This Perfume. Because The Real Timeless Classic For All Time.

[@Redolessence]

So glad you like it, Kevin!

[@christophergonzalez2353]

The first time I bought this was back in 2006 , I hated it and gave it away lol. I was around 14yr old at the time . Since I’m reaching my 30s and seeing this video I was like oh let me give it a try . First spray I loved it , has nice cinnamon vanilla amber with a hint of musk . Then about 3 hours later has a nice creamy vanilla smell . It’s crazy how things change , it’s like the change in taste buds like appreciating nice whiskey or a nice cigar the sense of smell changed. Glad I bought this !

[@muckylad58]

This fragrance has always been a guilty pleasure and still get compliments when wearing, also calvin kleins escape is still a classic

[@mikefernandez4807]

Yes I'm old, but I've never stopped using it. Lol I was 15 at it's release, 52 now and still using it. Never seen a reason to stop using this cologne.

[@darthvillarious]

I'm really getting into vintage frag over the last year.

[@pauljudah1235]

Mee too my friend. It's a man thing

[@McDaidUSA]

Me too! I thought Azzaro pour homme and Polo were great but Obsession is even better! Strong and complex and long lasting!

[@seandchoi]

I'm 53 and this, and CK's Eternity, were my go-to fragrances in my 20s and 30s. Eternity was more playful while Obsession was more sultry. Two of the best ever scents for men!

[@ajparsons4947]

This one was such a shock to me, I honestly could not believe how great this one smells to me. Definitely my favorite from the brand and I am looking forward to wearing it once it gets cooler out.

[@TobiasTheArtist]

I love this fragrance. And its cheap enough for me to turn it into my signature scent. Not when its hot tho.

[@eternalypissed]

I actually tried it on and liked how it smelled more than the female version (I'm a woman). The spice is intoxicating😍

[@viggenone]

I bought the women's version, find it very unisex, like it more than the men's version, but I also like this one. Glad to hear your take on it, thank you Steven!!!

[@McDaidUSA]

From what I have read and heard, the Obsession EDP (no gender designation) is stronger and better than the Obsession "for men" EDT. I have the EDP and am loving it.

[@saimon_pap]

​@@McDaidUSA Yes indeed it is not said for women, outside the box! I have it to! It reminds me a little lagerfeld classic, but i love more lagerfeld

[@saimon_pap]

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

🙄

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

There is something different about the new one vs the original. I used to wear it back in the late 90s early 2000s. It would last for a week on my jacket. Now it barely lasts a day. Edit. Oops, just got to the 8 minutes and the “I know it’s weaker” speech. LOL sorry.

[@audgusto]

I love classic fragrances like this. Damn, they smell so great

[@Ladleladleladle]

I am a woman and i wear this ❤ One half squirt lasts on my outerwear for days.

[@solomonsvineyard5371]

Oh yes bro,this is a classy fragrance I see it all the time in the rack stores and on discounters very good fragrance great preview take care peace and God bless

[@mrwonderful2081]

I’m using this at 35, smells great.

[@HalseyRules]

Wore back in the day. Still wearing it today. Love it. Thanks for the review Steven.

[@davidGPS95]

Do you wear it in the summer?

[@chronicdesign876scentplugj4]

I HAVE an original bottle with gold ring around the cap and that's an all dayer.

[@Redolessence]

Oh wow! That's awesome

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

They changed the new one. It’s sooo weak compared to the original. Doesn’t react the same either. Maybe they’re using cheaper chemicals now.

[@matthewcormier8744]

Burberry touch and Calvin Klein obsession are two affordable fragrances I love

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for sharing!

[@JM-ig8mf]

Timeless classic. Thanks for another great review.

[@Redolessence]

My pleasure!

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

Obsession is simply a Legend.💪🏼

[@Redolessence]

It is!

[@SirEricArthurBlair]

I smelled this recently and I remembered it from my childhood. I’ve been thinking about adding this and Eternity back into the collection.

[@PREPFORIT]

Hey, YES I am a fan of fragrance-related content! This is one that IMO the latest formulation is better. I recently sampled this and it is a lot nicer than I remember. Back in the day, the opening notes reminded me of a car freshener (the one shaped like a Pine tree) I think I will buy a full NEW bottle soon.👍

[@jumpgenx2571]

Oh the good ole days. I might need to give this one another try since it’s been about 30 years since I last tried it.

[@pwallace5359]

I think I’ll buy this for my husband. He graduated in ‘85 and is an OG classic himself. Thanks for a great review.

[@Redolessence]

I appreciate that!

[@LouiePHSC]

This brings back memories. I almost bought a set with this one, Escape and Eternity together. That was what I was gifted back in the day when I was a kid for Christmas.

[@McDaidUSA]

I bought that gift set! And I’m amazed at Obsession ! It seems VERY strong to me and fills the room up! I loved the smell and glad to hear it was loved in this review! I never smelled it before so it is a great new discovery for me just getting into fragrance at the ripe age of 68.

[@LouiePHSC]

@@McDaidUSA welcome to the community!

[@alexeiromanov2250]

When it came out I couldn't afford it so I got the designer imposter. I know have the original, it is on my top 10.

[@Redolessence]

It's great!

[@nelsonvital1088]

The best of Calvin Klein reveal ,crave , obsession

[@Baraka_Obama_]

Just got a 4.2 oz at Burlington for $25, can't beat that!

[@JT-rx1eo]

I wasn't aware of the Must de Cartier comparison, but I get a similarity to Equipage by Hermes. The cinnamon is what makes Obsession and Equipage to me. Ive since picked up a bottle of Must de Cartier and I don't smell much of a similarity. Obsession even smells more like the MDCI Chypre Palatin I have here right next to me than Must. Also some people compare it to Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne, but I think that is actually a fuller, richer, stronger classic Old Spice. The big connection to me is the cinnamon and amber.

[@Senninha1960]

My go-to when out on a cold or rainy night for dinner, it's hit of spice and sweetness warms the room!

[@Redolessence]

So glad you love this one!

[@potatochalbro]

It has a strong smell, not for everyone and it does smell kind of retro which I wouldn't normally like, but in this case I like it a lot, it's very rich.

[@stephen2398]

This is the first fragrance I remember completing on someone when I was just a kid of about 8 years of age lol and ended up getting it for myself years later when I started getting into fragrances as I never forgot it, it's not a fragrance I currently have but if I was to use it I would see myself using it on Christmas day as I see it fitting into the occasion well with the Nostalgia of the occasion

[@qmitch]

What do u use now?

[@billgreenidge6740]

One of my favorite classic fragrances. Powerful, bold, deep, rich, and sweet.

[@Redolessence]

For sure!!

[@charlesvincenthertez3579]

Wow, i have this as a gift from my father way back in college, (2009). I felt inlove with the smell but i was broke during that time. When im working already i search in Manila(Philippines) and i cant find store that were selling this and they said that calvin klein already phase out the production. So i was surprised when i saw one here in UAE and i hoard a lot. :)

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great old school review and I enjoyed it and I had this fragrance and it's a 9 out of 10 and have a blessed 🌙

[@karinvandenberg9991]

Thanks to your video I bought my husband a 100 ml bottle for fathersday. My signature is the womens version for more than 8 years now.

[@Redolessence]

Oh awesome!

[@robertpatter5509]

I like CK Obsession for Men. The question is if you had to choose one from my list which would it be? - Lapidus Pour Homme EDT - CK Obsession for Men EDT - Pasha de Cartier EDP - Lagerfeld EDC -Aramis Aramis Decisions, decisions

[@jasonmcdonald7187]

I remember when I was young I thought it smelled elegant and expensive. I still love the smell.

[@Redolessence]

So glad you still love this one!

[@TheSRC88]

Fun fact this is Tony Sirico's (Paulie Walnuts) signature scent.

[@kuallalumpur5417]

Also Adam Sandler's, as far as I know.

[@Grodd70]

Just picked up a bottle. Reminds me so much of High School dances. It's a nice warm cinnamon fragrance, this and Burberry London are perhaps the best winter/Christmas scents.

[@RaymondKarlVeasey75]

This Is What I Wore Back In The 80s & 90s. Good Stuff.

[@nelsonvital1088]

One of the best fragrance of Calvin Klein

[@kristenpotter7100]

My aunt would wear Obsession when I was a kid and drown out the whole family. Even so, this fragrance is so nostalgic for me. My mom used to wear Oscar by Oscar de la Renta, and I get those same emotions.

[@MoahGentle]

Got a vintage bottle as part of a lot, tested it, found it interesting but I wasn’t really into the vintage feel back then.. I tested it again the other day and it was very comforting and pleasant to wear but the sprayer is kind of broken so I picked up a gift set on the cheap in Bealls, it definitely isn’t as potent as it was originally but still a nice scent. Can’t smell it without feeling nostalgic or being reminded of a dad or granddad or uncle.. CK has some true classics (for cheap).

[@bagley232]

Bought this one the day it came out, my very first fragrance will always keep a bottle

[@nelsonvital1088]

This fragrance is legend wearing by my father and my grandfather

[@randymalinowski8384]

Haha. This video just made me realize how old I am. This was one of my first fragrances, way back in 1990. I still have that bottle at my folks place

[@rudydeleon4195]

This was my very first fregrance, I have over 400 fregrances now and I still keep it in my collection don't wear it as much but I will always keep it I my collection

[@qnunyuh8417]

my dad bought this when I was kid, it was the first sweet fragrance I had smelled for a man, because of this I thought it was for my mom, anywho thanks for the through back review

[@symphantic4552]

This was my first perfume... It hits the nostalgia button, but now I find it deathly sweet

[@philmcculla4941]

He's so right if it weren't for these originals nothing would of inspired others, hes smelt the best of Best and to show respect to the originals shows how authentic the frag connoisseurs are.

[@johannahhuttenstone]

I think one thing I love with Obsession is that the citrus blends in so well, not having a such a bright opening

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for watching

[@aylamiller5752]

I found a small bottle in my yard that my dog had dug up, I kept sniffing him going "WHO WAS PETTING YOU, THEY SMELL SO GOOD." Man that stuff does get you sniffing people who wear it.

[@timrush9779]

I had a small bottle shortly after it came out, and never really revisited it. I was perusing around a discounter site and purchased both this and the women's original Obsession. Of course they have been reformulated, but they still smell fantastic and given the trends of spicy ambers today, they are still very relevant.

[@minavamp2811]

i think you got the perfume mixed up. jean guichard created obsession for women came out in 1985, while robert slattery created obession for men came out in 1986, which is the perfume that you are reviewing.

[@vladonikolin2709]

CK house has some great fragrances & this one is top

[@studiodemichel]

I like my bottle. Thanks for reminding me to drag this out for my SOTN.

[@MrGoodsalesman]

I got this around 2015 when I started my collection. It strong over 10 hour plus. Not weak at all but who know maybe the new version is not as strong. But you don’t need something that strong!!!!!

[@PT-Marum]

On me it only lasts about 2 hours so rubbish

[@mrpicpalac]

You rock brother! Thumbs up for your intros history and presentation! I am a fragrance guy and there are many fragrance guys on KZbin, you stand out vs the others! Just subscribed! All the best! Btw, love this iconic scent in the fall and winter!

[@Redolessence]

Much appreciated

[@nicktoth3994]

MFK Masculin Pluriel and the cinnamony lavender aspect of Creed Bois Du Portugal really remind me of Obsession which I wore ALL the time about 20 years ago along with One, Be, Eternity, Escape and Contradiction all part of a little sampler I rotated through. Bath and Body Works Oak smells awfully similar to Obsession as well...absolute classic great for fall and winter 😎👍

[@Redolessence]

Thank you so much for sharing, Nick!!

[@roberthill5366]

Keep Rising to the Top, Calvin Klein Obsession Cologne, Doug E. Fresh, 1988, I was 21; USAF stationed in Cali, the time of my Life!

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for watching!

[@ThaMaskRapper]

I saw tha reviews and they said this Collonge woman give compliments on and woman never give me complement on azzoro Chrome Collonge , Burberry London or Curse Waves .

[@RealisticallyRacchel]

While on the subject of flashback scents, could you speak on Hugo Boss Number One? I would love to see your review on that 80's fragrance.

[@JmeJ83]

Masterpiece imo Great review Steven

[@andrewpayne3298]

just picked up a vintage i smelled the modern liked it but knew it was one that i needed a vintage off

[@VYBEKAT]

My girlfriend got this for me cause i like powdery scents. I love it. Apparently the civet pheromone attracts cats too!

[@seanlelie1520]

Much love! Keep the awesome content coming sir 😎

[@Redolessence]

Thank you, Sean!

[@jnd1]

Yep, this was my high school go-to!

[@movingfiber]

Pure nostalgia!

[@RamseytheRam]

Calvin by calvin klein is my favorite ck release. It was also their first mens frag ever. After calvin this has to sit 2nd on the throne. I have to get a bottle for old times sake. Looks like this can had for cheap under 20 bucks for 125ml. -Ramsey

[@robmalcolm8042]

On sale a big 6.7 ounce online on some sites is 30

[@barbaradrozdz9078]

I love how easy and accurate you can describe scents

[@darthdeluxe_1]

I'd use it in the early 90s. Still a great fragrance. It's on my buylist ( notino 20€ ) for September .

[@lostammo9026]

It meant lots when calving meant something back in the 90s just like Guess and tommy good quality clothes and fragrances

[@ksmg2013]

Hi Thank you a lot for all reviews. Can I ask you about other flankers: (Obsession Night) and (Dark Obsession) for men? Do you recommend them or do you have any reviews about them? Thank you again.

[@rakeshpopat8188]

I agree. Before I used to love wearing all CK fragrances? But now since they are owned by COTY INC USA they have become too WEAK AND therefore become Cheap to buy.

[@philmccollough4437]

One of the original gourmands

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for watching!

[@oliviaacosta6239]

I love it especially the men’s version

[@madfrosty5228]

To me the opening is very sweet , warm I can smell flowers , I like that loads . The second stage after it dries I am not sure about , this is the only one I love and hate at the same time , it’s old school barbershop smell to me very manly but I am not sure if it’s for me , or should I say it’s not me .

[@heretolearn7694]

How similar/dissimilar is this from Obsession for Women?

[@sam3kperv]

My first time trying this, hoping to love...😌

[@jeffreysmith3061]

Takes me back to 10th grade! It's wonderful and timeless.

[@Redolessence]

I'm so happy you like this one. Thank you so much for watching.

[@saimon_pap]

I love lagerfeld classic, and that perfume reminds me lagerfeld! ❤️

[@Redolessence]

It's so good! Glad you made that connection!

[@stevefrank9444]

Obsession vs. calvin klein one?

[@SurvivorIce]

Just got this cause wanted compare it to Obsessed. Conclusion is that i prefer Obsessed.

[@shahbenameraj2739]

You haven't done cheap compliment beast fragrances yet plzzz make your next video on it

[@SPACEDOUT19]

This is the olfactory version of "Last Christmas", i cant think of anything else when i wear it

[@TROY35KSK]

This is my fav but, my father used to use it in 1990, the perfume was very nice but it was EDT, I wish it had stayed as edp

[@movingfiber]

Bentley Intense and Dolce and Gabanas The One both smell very similar to CK Obesession, imo.

[@depecheddurand]

I think ck shock is the best ck ever put out in a long time. It smells just so different and amazing .

[@Redolessence]

I truly love that one!

[@likemussolini4848]

Ayeeee it’s just as old as me 😂😂 85!! I loved it!

[@TheBeastKane]

I see bottles and bottles of this at all the rack stores every time i go its always in stock, i might grab it at some point but theres others i want atm lol.

[@summerforever6736]

Is this similar to dior fahrenheit I love?

[@krtolebiohazardcs1.681]

This one smell amazing ,but performance are low. Longevity around 3 hours.

[@muckylad58]

Also there was another classic called ghost man which is now dicontinued and very rare
