Created by Calvin Klein, the fragrance reflects the designer's own obsessions.

At the heart of OBSESSED FOR WOMEN is the memory of a past love, triggered by the scent of another on the skin. Genders are subverted and layered with the traditionally masculine note - white lavender - harnessed for the women`s fragrance which together with creamy musk, envelopes the wearer and adds a sensuous warmth to the women`s perfume. It is this tension, a compulsive push and pull that makes the wearer return to the fragrances time and again.
