Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein, released in 2008 and composed by Calice Becker and Ann Gottlieb with Givaudan, is a rich, spiced floral. Everyone describes it as floral, most as woody, and smaller groups as sweet, spicy and amber.
It opens with rose, nutmeg, mace and plum, giving a warm, spiced fruitiness with a dark, rosy depth. The heart is a lush white-floral bouquet: orchid, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, jasmine and tuberose create a creamy, heady and sensual richness. The base is warm and powdery, with amber and vanilla for sweetness, orris root for a cool powder, wormwood for a slightly bitter-herbal edge, and cedar, sandalwood and cashmere wood for a soft, woody finish.
People report moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate trail, sometimes strong. Votes favour autumn and winter and lean clearly towards evening, so it suits dinners, dates and cold nights for someone who likes opulent, spiced florals.
