Obsession Perfume by Calvin Klein-After Shave Balm 5 oz

About the Obsession Perfume for Men

Calvin Klein Obsession Perfume is a warm amber woody fragrance for men, originally launched in 1986 with citrus, lavender, cinnamon, spices, amber, musk and woods. Its rich cologne-style scent suits him for daily grooming, evenings, dinners and cooler-weather occasions.

This specific product is an After Shave Balm rather than an Eau De Toilette Spray (EDT) or Eau De Parfum Spray (EDP), so its fragrance is lighter and stays closer to the skin. The scent character moves from fresh citrus and aromatic spice into a warm woody, amber and musky base.
