hehehehe i feel like a kid when i smell this...instantly...all the seriousness is gone, though its a serious scent lol. thanks for constant inspiration my man.... reading your comments make my day :)
im biased towards creative reviewers and good souls mate ;) i feel so happy today...my friend gave me second bottle of obsession, seeing my love for it...i own two bottles now ;)
oh yes...the Les Exclusifs line of your channel...that idea is just brilliant... your channel makes me feel im a watching movies sometimes...such crisp work :) and yes bro...this one is pure love for me :) what's your absolute favorite fragrance?
This review is greatly appreciated. Obsession is a classic. A lot of university nostalgia for me as well. Unfortunately nowadays I find the top notes to have too much of a dated effect. However...give it 3-4 hrs and the magic begins to happen....the dry down still works and is still VERY pleasant, subtle (with a good scent bubble) and of course...uniquely sexy. Patience required to get through that dated smell of the top...but the dry down is certainly worth the wait. A work day in a suit is perfect for this fragrance..by the last 3 hrs of the work day the harshness in the cinnamon note would have mellowed to the max.. Go for drinks at a bar after work and ur scent is at full tilt. Works best in warm (not hot weather) and will go on and on and on as the warmth revives it. The advanced dry down is a real lady killer....especially those over 30.
It its so amazing to hear you this way about my ultimate most cherished favourite men's fragrance of ALL time - Obsession for Men. I feel just like you about this scent. There are so many pivotal moments in my history, this scent has never not amazed me, it's the best. I'm so happy to hear you the same as me about it! LOTS of University nostalgia as well ! But I love it still. Ultimate classic. xxSerena from Canada
I have vintage bottle of CK Obsession edt with light brown cap from 90s' half full..... total beast mode. I also have roll on deodorant stick and 125ml aftershave. Exceptional product😊👍💯. Great review.
I agree. Your passion for this fragrance is contagious..! I just bought a Calvin Klein discovery set with 4 fragrances: Obsession 15ml, CK One 15ml, Eternity 15ml, and Eternity Aqua 15ml. I've probably experienced Obsession before, except I didn't know what it was. I was never really into fragrances until recently and this is my FIRST purchase. I'll definitely be buying the bigger bottles after this..!! Along with CK Be, Escape, Sauvage EDT/EDP.. I would like to try and buy some Creed fragrances but of course, they are expensive.
CK Obsession! My favourite fragrance back in the 1990s. This video triggered fond memories at that time and was my signature scent that caught the attention of my sister, which until now, she also love such rich and alluring smell. Sometimes, she even borrowed it to spray on herself.
Bought it today and I have no regrets! For some reason to me it smells quite similar to the original Old Spice aftershave lotion. Does it remind Old Spice to anyone else?
Except for passing over the batch code like it's nothing at 9:42! The date of the bottle determines the manufacturer and formulation and should be mentioned for posterity since you guys hope these reviews will be used for reference in the years to come!
yes definitely,i own a few but i can manage the rest from my friends and community. ck has some gems and their number of frags so far is crazy, not many companies have released so many.thanks you for the idea bro, i will do it
I hate you Joy. Since watching your reviews i've spent a lot of money & bought several bottles of various scents. Now i've gone and ordered CK Obsession for men to add to my collection. Damn you Brother
I like _CK Obsession_ as it stands out from the crowd, it's not a generic cologne but has aromas of sweet spicy distinction that grabs the center of attention. It has good longevity, full sillage and full projection almost like a ladies perfume but has masculine nuances of course. Its one of CK's classic lines from 1986 (perfumer Bob Slattery) and is hence now a masterpiece, one for the collection. I also bought _CK Dark Obsession_ just to accompany it at night! 😎💖💯🥇
Brother, this was a review that brought back memories as well, used wat my dad use this in the 2000-2010 frequently so the fragrance memories were really strongly binded with my teenage life. Made me order one ri8 now. You're a real joy to us and yah do treasure this special one. ✌🏻️PEACE.
awwww...hugs sir :) yes this is my jewel...my precious...i cant stop smelling it since yesterday...put some on before bed time , woke up this morning..needed few more sprays lol. hope you like it sir
Still one of the best autumn scents in existence- especially the vintage; the cinnamon is more profound. This is far more stunning than the revolting Le Male le parfum, and far more sexy and serious than 1 Million Prive. Best warm spicy cologne it's very balanced. To me this is excellent for autumn daytime casual. Pleasant fresh oriental and sexy. OMG you're right! OLD BOOKS. This smells like old brown book pages.
At 12:45, i finally got around to the performance part of the video where you say you get weak projection. I keep reading reviews and seeing videos that talk abou fantastic sillage and projection for 8 hours! I'm getting nearly the same performance that you're getting with my 2017 bottle. Do you think we may have gotten counterfeit bottles? I get projection for a maximum 2 hours and it's not strong projection. I do get the change in notes but by the time there's the sandalwood dry down, I get a whiff here and there but I have to bring my arm to my nose most of the time. When I bought this in the 1980's, it was incredible and that was when it was a cologne splash! One splash and I felt like I bathed in Obsession all night! Some say that Obsession for Women edp is the way to go. Have you tried that?
@@tyhthedancer5973 I posted my comment 2 years ago but thankfully, I'm still receiving notifications of replies. About a year ago, I purchased Obsession edp for women and it's VERY close in scent to the male version but much, much stronger.
I love this fragrance as well as the "women's" version (simply Obsession), which I think is the perfect unisex fragrance. Old school Calvin Klein fragrances are so special to me, too! I feel about Eternity the way you feel about Obsession. :)
No need to watch this, I agree wholeheartedly. This was the first fragrance I had purchased and my youngest son likes it also. My signature scent for 10th grade. I have it to this day and recommend the 2016 summer edition of Obsession. Think the smell toned down and made fresher, but you get that DNA. Now blind buy, but know this, apply liberally and to the clothes, it's only 20 bucks on Notino, and doesn't last long. Though it's perfect for daytime lunches, cuddling with your women, or running errands when it's real hot. It's so light and unoffensive, perfect for outdoors extreme heat.
This used to be my signature scent during the late 80s to early 90s. Though i have moved on to other niche and naturals i always keep a bottle of this for old time's sake. The newer bottles suffer in performance though. Wore it today on a day of heavy rain and just checked for reviews 😁. There is some trivia on this, did you know the indian forest service people use this fragrance as a lure for tigers they need to trap? Apparently it really works! So you know what not to wear when going into tiger country😁
Top 3 old school scents for me. I don't have a bottle now, but I think I will grab one after getting inspired by your enjoyment in this video. Not sure if I asked you before, but do you smell some similarities between Obsession and The One? Amber for sure, but seems like the former influenced the latter...
hahaha....thanks bud...so nice of you.its been some depressing times lately...and these bottles cheered me up like a puppy. there is a hint of citrus/amber ..you are right bro...damn...now that you mentioned i see it. you are good :)
I've heard that the newer formulation of obsession the one with the plastic brown cap has very short staying power. Is it right??? I see that you have the same bottle
Joy - I enjoy your reviews but one again you pass over the batch code @ 9:42 like it's nothing and it's the MOST IMPORTANT part of the review! Why do you place such little emphasis on it? If you're going to have 25 minute reviews, could you place a link to the performance part of it? For those of us who were around to buy the original versions, we know the notes and personally, I have to watch these longer videos at 1.5x speed to get the part I'm looking for!
Joy Bhai, Could you make a video on exactly how to layer multiple fragrances? To my nose, it seems that Obsession could make a perfect combination with Aramis Aramis. Thanks
@@tintin7036 I suggest go for flankers of the classic men perfumes and freshies like Adg Profumo, Polo Blue edp, Dior sauvage(kung afford), Lacoste Blanc(my fav), Terre d hermes edt(gentleman smell), D&G Light Blue intense, Versace Man eau fraiche saka Bvlgari Aqua flankers (Marine or Atlantique. For stronger Polo Red Extreme, Dior Fahrenheit, D&G the one. They are popular for a reason
I'm thinking of buying this but it will have to be a blind buy as no shops were I live (in France) stocks it. I tried the women's version and didn't like it at all, is the men's one very similar?
Idk why but i dont like this fragrance i blind bought it and it has an old man vibe to me and i get notes of tobacco which i dont like especially in the heat
I don't think I have ever seen someone that was this excited about getting a fragrance... this shows the love you have for this game..Nice one bro!!
hehehehe i feel like a kid when i smell this...instantly...all the seriousness is gone, though its a serious scent lol. thanks for constant inspiration my man.... reading your comments make my day :)
I have gained alot from your videos.. your inspiration and your dept of knowledge for frags simply priceless!!
im just learning brother...just love fragrances,,,that i have to agree
And thank you for the shoutout! Very kind! ☺ You're the Obsession king! I can see that this scent means a lot to you!
im biased towards creative reviewers and good souls mate ;) i feel so happy today...my friend gave me second bottle of obsession, seeing my love for it...i own two bottles now ;)
Speak of being OBSESSED with a fragrance. 😉 Your passion is contagious.
I saw in the group where you got this. Glad that you're so pumped! I might do an 80s review on this one if I ever get the time.
oh yes...the Les Exclusifs line of your channel...that idea is just brilliant... your channel makes me feel im a watching movies sometimes...such crisp work :) and yes bro...this one is pure love for me :) what's your absolute favorite fragrance?

i was thinking the same...if you swing by the bar, the Scotch or even a cigar. somehow reminds me of Gangs Squad movie :)

CK Shock is decent also.
It’s a FABULOUS fragrance. Especially in cool weather….. and to layer it with a 2-3 sprays of Oud Monarch is such a treat.
another great review about a tresure ...
thank you sweet amin for sharing this. .. keep remembering us with great old fregrances sweetie. ..

it does that doesnt it?i just wanted to keep it for the memories ..as i treasure those times....the women's version i feel is nice also...spicier :)
Bought it today and I have no regrets! For some reason to me it smells quite similar to the original Old Spice aftershave lotion. Does it remind Old Spice to anyone else?
Yes a fancier tad sweeter version ...You may like Paul Sebastian clove and sandlewood slightly sweet nuance
Yes!! Obsession!! This review was perfect! thanks Joy! ☺☺
your channel always inspires me brother :) loved the Bogart house video :)
Except for passing over the batch code like it's nothing at 9:42! The date of the bottle determines the manufacturer and formulation and should be mentioned for posterity since you guys hope these reviews will be used for reference in the years to come!
I used this fragrance a lot but I can’t find it anymore I just love it the Powder scent is too perfect
I would love it if you did a personal, all-time top 10 Calvin Klein Fragrances in the future.
yes definitely,i own a few but i can manage the rest from my friends and community. ck has some gems and their number of frags so far is crazy, not many companies have released so many.thanks you for the idea bro, i will do it
Joy Amin yes you could easily do a top 20 or a top 5 as well as a top 10. up to you...!!!

Hello Joy...my sister-in-law gifted me a miniature CK cologne set which contains 15 ml Obsession. It's bit stronger and louder.... though not bad.
OMG a total Fragrance romance story communicated Joy! Your enthusiasm totally infectious! I'm hanging out to try CK Obsession. Such love! Thanks. M

hey do u know the black bottle called "obsessed" from ck?
The after shave balm of Obsession is *pure magic*
Is this fresh and clean ?
@@aatifrehman4150Yes, the Obsession after shave is outstanding.💯

Can anyone in the world bring the old genuine obsession back again in market to let new generations enjoy what vintage people have enjoyed ?
It's cool smelling like the 1980s
You tell the truth!
Upon watching this review, I'm also making a fragrance wishlist for the year 2020. 😁📝👍

Could you make a video on exactly how to layer multiple fragrances?
To my nose, it seems that Obsession could make a perfect combination with Aramis Aramis.

Would you like to comment on this perfume attracts tigers and other big cats?
I get a lavender, cinnamon, gooey caramel, toffee, vanilla edible taste like, something from a bakery or patisserie.
After watching your video I bought the perfume, it was horrible!!!
Lol
I enjoy that smell 👃 also. Use it for work. Good thing at Macy that have in stock.
All CK are not long lasting EDT and it’s very bad side of all CK
