Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein's unique and distinctive men's and women's fragrance lines have made them a leader in the world fragrance market. With products as varied as the CKOne, Eternity, and Obsession, there's a scent in the Calvin Klein family to cater to a variety of tastes. In most cases, Calvin Klein sticks with traditional ideas for their fragrances, but each one has a modern twist that makes it young and sexy.

Breaking down the barriers between men's fragrance and women's, CKOne combines scents like bergamot, pineapple, and papaya with musk, amber, and green tea to create a scent that is truly genderless. It works by being subtle, and is designed to make those who want to smell it draw closer to you to locate the scent. It is intended to be used all over the body, and is light enough so that it shouldn't overpower, even when used in quantity.

On the other hand, Eternity for women is a much more traditional scent. It is inspired by the ideal of romance and intimacy, and it is an extremely floral fragrance. The top notes are classic scents like mandarin, lily of the valley, jasmine, and rose. There are also a few modern touches, though, that make this fragrance more unique. Narcissus, marigold, sage, and white lily are what really set this fragrance apart. While this fragrance is certainly romantic, it is also suitable for daytime wear.

Obsession was released in the spring of 1985, and has been a favorite of women everywhere since. Calvin Klein himself designed the scent to evoke the passion and sensuality of a woman who revels in her own romantic obsession. Supported by a now-famous advertising campaign that reached near-cult status, Obsession is one of the best known and most popular perfumes in the world. Its scent is actually a fairly traditional oriental, with a strong presence of amber, and notes of orange blossom and vanilla.
