She says thank god she didnt grow up in the 80’s but is happy being part of the most toxic social media clout gagging era generation in history
They have no idea how good it was.
OH MY GOD THAT'S FUCKING FACTS 💯
CK Obsession is a masterpiece.
Exactly.
Yes! I love obsession from the bottom of my heart it really reminds me of my grandpa and i kinda like that
@@ChristianSchmidt-cc3nc It reminds me of my Father. He was a very manly Man.
Zeker weten 👌🏼
It ain’t on the market for ~4 decades for no reason
She approaches fragrances from a completely wrong angle.
Thank God you didn't grow up in the 80s? If you only knew how fantastic life was, growing up in the 80s and 90s.
Spoiled millennials what do you expect
@@kenmastersmaster I blame us Ken, it's our generation that raised these morons...
She's out of a Lost Gen without charisma.
She just doesn't remember how great the original was before they re-formulated it.
I mean she was probably born right in the middle of its major popularity.
You don't remember 1994 when your 1 or 2 🤔😉?
Don't be Jerk
Please respect to everybody
I thoroughly dislike this girls personality and have came back and tried so many times. And this is coming from a person born in the 2000’s“Thank god I wasnt born in the 80” an actually fun generation that wasn’t obsessed with social media and clout.
This is the Only Fans Generation....I wished i could rewind to the 80s and skip this crap.
The 80s would have slapped the narcissism out of her.
People in the 80s were very much chasing clout with their white porsches, gold rolexes and raybans
I feel like this peaked more in the 90s than the 80s. You just had to be there
I wear it in honor of my dad cause he got it for me. I could care less. My looks overpower the fragrance.
Based
@@locka23boys you got to be. Too many trying to cover up their own shadows
Hahaha I’m better looking than you couse I had a whole class of girls liking me ..”
@@lostammo9026 that’s fantastic. God bless you
I am in accordance with you
Erica,
The thing with old school fragrances like Obsession is they are all about the dry down. You have to give it an hour or two to really get the hype around it. After an hour or so the earthy/animalic aspects fade except for the patchouli and you get a nice ambery/vanilla patchouli incense type smell. The modern formula definitely isn't as good as the old one. The main thing I notice is the modern formula doesn't transition as smoothly, thus you get that pissy thing after the immediate opening blast, but the dry down is still amazing. I get compliments from women of all ages.
The flankers are a definite improvement. Obsessed & Obsession Night are pretty good.
How about the edp?
Fun fact i think big cats like tigers leopards and so on love this fragrance, i think they even used some on cameras to film them.
I think modern perfumes also have many notes, they just don't disclose them all.
I wore this in the late 80’s - bought two bottles from May Co. I wore this almost everyday! The formulation was rich! And lasted a long time on skin. Kouros too 😂😂 that one used to repel people! 💨 🤣
And your clothes
Interesting, this doesn’t sound like the current formulation at all, which is quite light and airy despite its kinda sweet, cinnamon spiciness. There isn’t a hint of civet in it either, just a very inoffensive but still unique, cinnamon-forward fragrance.
You need a vintage with most of these old fragrances I personally prefer the older style of perfumery
It’s a masterpiece and reminds me of my father who used to rock with his casual jackets
Obsession reminds me of Musc Ravageur. A lot.
I feel it's like the same concept and in a way the opening is very similar. It's starting of harsh and loud and turns into this long lasting beautiful cozy smell. Just like musk ravageur.
In 30 years people are going to be crapping all over BR 540. Saying it’s too sweet or smells like sterile bandages. 🤷♀️
I wasn’t around to smell CK Obsession in the 80s or 90s but smelling it now on an outdoorsy guy 32 year in flannel or a sweater and it smells pretty great. He sprays it though, he doesn’t pour it out of a bottle. Definitely no “pissy” animalic smell, just woody spicy and cozy.
You have to grow up to get to appreciate this kind of fragrances . And you need some style wich you obviously don' t have yet . There is a reason for wich this is still produced and on the market after 35 years . Because it' s good and men are wearing it . And there are no such perfumes like "dad smell " or "grandpa smell " or my " old teacher smell ". It' s like good music . If it' s good will remain in history . There are perfumes still in prodsuction , created in the 18 th 19 th century , from the 30' s 40 s 50' s etc . But as I said grow up , get stylish an then review them . Till then stick to Baccarat Rouge , Sauvage and other stuff like that
Exactly. Even if you on Calvin Klein website, is sold out.
I dont get why people get so upset?
She doesen’t like this fragrance, that’s all.
I hate coconut as a note and think it smells like hair product.
No one has to agree with me.
Also, things change.
If there are people around 30 years from now i wouldn’t be surprised if their twenty somethings laughed about the weirdly hairless, sweet smelling guys of today.
I do, however, agree that the 80’s-90’s where amazing.
I am born in 1994 myself. I love fragrances and started collecting slowly, to be honest I am so drawn towards the classic retros. I gave almost everything away I just own
1. Drakkar noir
2. Tabac original
3. Gorgio Beverly Hills man
4. Obsession by class
The only new fragrance I own is aqua di gio profondo and jpg ultra male.
Srijtb: Nice collection :) In my teens the ones you mentioned were very popular. If your interested in that era I'd say look to Polo Green, Alfred Sung Homme (like Irish spring soap) and Eternity, Oscar de la Renta Pour Loui. You mentioned Tabac original, I really like that scent it reminds me of Old Spice with a touch of florals and just more refined. That sent started me on a journey going WAY back since it was released in 1959. So I bought Caron Pour Homme which was released in the 1930's vanilla and lavender and my favorite summer scent Dior Eau Sauvage (1966). Just recently picked up a cheapy of Veron Dandy originally released in 1923. Good luck on your journey.
@@Grodd70 thank you kind sir :) I will surely take a look
Good video. Unfortunately a large part of the cologne community are old boomers, especially videos about CK, don't let it get to you. Keep up the good work
never test fragrances on paper unless you don't have choice.
never judge a fragrance by sniffing it out of your hand, but give it a full wearing during a day and smell its transformation in the air during the day and in different environement.
never say a fragrance is unwearbale like you said for kouros, before giving it a full wear, maybe you don't like it but it's still liked by a lot of guys including me.
take your time and enjoy things slowly.
thanks fot this video anyway and don't take my comment negatively it's just my opinion ;)
Agree totally.I bought this after smelling in train dont know who wore it.
Perfect.
Its the late dry down that really works!
It’s definitely a more sophisticated scent then what they make these days. I’ve never been one to put cologne on my skin, which can also change the scent.
Good review…. It’s best to test scents out before you buy them. I have been both disappointed, and pleasantly surprised by purchases based on reviews.
Was the one to wear back in the 80's and early 90's. id say it was eventually replaced by Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male. Today's formulation is more like a distant cousin to what it was back in the day. Great review.
Obsession with a Leather Jacket was the King back in the late 80's, early 90's...
They have no idea. This uploader does not even know how to apply cologne or perfume properly... is this even a serious channel?
And here I am loving Aramis. If Obsession gives her grandpa vibes, Aramis, for sure, will.
Until you meet Harry Styles and he is wearing OBSESSION FOR MEN.
It smells seductive pice warm vanilla cinnamon nostalgic ,ppl nowadays say anything from 80s smells old Manish back in those time the hot people in thier thier 20s were wearing this.
Im rejecting Modernity thats why I love 80s Fragrances. The only one I dont like is Cool Water because its scent is so modern and generic.
The eighties/nineties formula WAS way different and better. The latest version smells hollow and cheap in comparison.
I grew up in the 70s/80s and never liked Obsession. The marketing back then was tacky too.
You have no ideal of how seductive this fragrance was in the 1980's. It was called a cologne back then and extremely powerful. If you hugged a woman, all her clothes would still smell of Obsession the next day - hence the name of the fragrance! Men's fragrances were sold in splash and atomizer bottles during those days. I would buy the splash bottles because you would get more ml's for less dough. If my memory serves me correctly, I used to save this for dates and it usually was best on a cold night when I was wearing a pullover sweater with a dress shirt combo.
Try the women's edp version. It's a powerhouse and close to the men's version of yesteryear! Since this was the fragrance that put Calvin Klein on the map, I'm surprised they don't update it and go the edp, parfum, elixir route with it.
I was never a big fan of this thing because I liked more citrusy style fragrances like Herrera for Men, just to name one. My brother in law still wears this and it's frankly horrible lol.
I've never liked obsession and I'm 48 so it's not just because you're a younger lol for an 80s fragrance I'd say try armani eau pour homme i discovered it in the late 90s but it first came out in 1984 so I've read, it's a nice fresh scent and although it's been reformulated it still smells pretty good i think for an old school fragrance, I'm loving your channel Erica keep it up and greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Todays scent has also milliin notes they just dont listen all.
I used to love this scent, thank you. Blast from the past.
I think you are just used to the unisex sweet frags of today. Personally I like the 70s and 80s for their unapologetically masculine fragrances.
Definitely a old school hitter cinnamon spice bomb 💣💥💥💥💥💕👍
❤️
You’ve hit your head on the headboard, one too many times girl
Guys, this lady knows nothing about perfume. First impression is not a good way to review perfume! First RULE of Obsession is DON'T OVERSPRAY it!
Obsession is a strong, hot, romantic, sexy and unique perfume for a masculine, sofisticated, sensual, stylish, engaging and mature person!
Of course, it's not for a teenage taste savage/rude, but for a sucessfull, misterious, polite man!
Due to it's strenght and wood and vanilla essences, it is for cold days, preference at night. It's ageless!
It's NOT an ordinary everyday perfume for casual teenagers. It is the opposite of it!
I definetly recommend for 30+ years old, for "formal" situations as a wedding, a lecture, a conference, an exclusive happy hour bar or in a cold night first date in an expensive restaurant.
You will receive compliments by a wide age range.
Obs: when you try it, never overspray and wait 1-2 minute to feel effortless all the bouquet mixed with your skin.
Erica, I wore Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein in the 1990's. I liked it years ago but I would never wear it today. BTW, congratulations on 4K subscribers. You are growing your fragrance channel fast.
@@ketocajun3403insecure… and look at him now… a middle Age man simping over a girl who would laugh at him in person, and call him a creeper.
It takes about 30 minutes until it turns into a very well smelling fragrance.
Good evening Erica, you are so naturally beautiful! 😍 First of all, that was a very interesting review! That perfume was on my list to buy it, but i have Karl Lagerfeld classic( tony montana's perfume), which is said it has some commons! Lagerfeld is my second favourite fragrance after ted lapidus! Third is Kouros, and i was very happy you had the luck to smell the vintage one, which it is said is gorgeous! The modern reformulation is not my favourite, because i think this strong civet is a little disgusting after hours, but kouros has the most amazing opening in fragrances i have ever smelt! ❤️
at last someone with some class
On my skin it smells fresh
W00000f, this fragrance is just awful or atleast the Night version is. But I can't imagine there's much of a difference between this one and that. I threw it away. And the funny thing is that I also had CK One which was even WORSE. Literally had to scrub it off my body to get rid of the scent, but it just stays. It makes me literally vomit and nauseous.
Try to find a true vintage Gold Ring on the cap , you have a reformulation ..
Nice tip!
@@eauderica Aye** thanks because I am not lying ...Ebay usually has those and I have not checked lately but the formula vintage should be easy to find ... The 1 ounce bottle could be the best one if the seal never has been broken and much cheaper ..Larger bottles tend to get more air in them but you can luck up on one that is new.. It is very unique and worth keeping even if it is not a mass appeal at the first try ../.*****
I was an Obsession guy in the late 80's. There were two general camps...the Drakkar "dudes" and the Obsession guys. They never mixed...the competing scent streams would cause tear in space time. Whatever the opinion of beautiful Ms Erica, I did manage to land my first real girlfriend because of it...she loved the scent and came up to me at a party to tell me I smelled great and that got things going.....
i had made a comment with some perfume proposals at an other post of yours and i had warned you then about kouros lol to spare you that experience .....but have in mind this was not the original formulas of that era (all of old fragrances no matter what decade ) coz of the regulation of IFRA some ingredients are not the same at all coz are synthetic not natural and the small totally different.... plus the perfumes although they have the same name are heavily reformulated..... so dont feel bad coz you dont like something coz you are not smelling the real thing of those days ....but .... i really with all my heart love that you want to smell that iconic perfumes and i want your honest opinion on their appeal today to women of today so please keep it up btw i never liked calvin klein especially obsession
LOL " Granpa " it was probably at peak 30 years ago.
Grandpa reminds me of the OG Eau Savage, the clear bottle with what looked like Limacol in it .
Also Old Spice, Dunhill now that's grandad material.
Still i guess we all get the one day.
BUT each to their own.
I can just relay how popular it was then.
Now 80% of blokes all smell of eau savage especially now Jonny got cleared of well what ever 😉.
It was massive when I was a teen in 90s maybe earlier although Im not that old 🤔.
BIG part of my life.
As they say ," scents and 🎵" for nostalgia.
I bought some recently as these days it's pretty cheap ,UK around £28/100ml.
Although annoyingly like A LOT of classic fragrances it's been re-formulated and is half the strength but less subtle and doesn't last.
Unless you can get a 90s one its massively different.
Never seen even a sample without an atomiser.
It maybe polarising but IMHO most women loved it as most men loved the women's.
These days and BTW ive seen it all over the internet, women's Obsession Parfum is considered unisex.
Even going on 30 years since school Id still rather wear Obsession than Savage.
✌️
Great Comment I can only agree.
One of the most divisive scents I've come across, Calvin Klein Obsession for men edt, the "nursing home grandpa" description by our very attractive reviewer here makes me want to put this one a few notches down on my fragrance haul priority list. I mean that's not the kind of vibe you want to radiate as a male, know what I'm sayin?
Depends on who smells you. I don’t want noobie noses who can’t appreciate this fragrance around me.
@@srijitbhattacharya5429 Not only the most divisive scent then, but also the one that has piqued or provoked interest. Now it has become the one that has stirred the most curiosity. Thk you for thinking of me, I shall give this one a try next time I'm in Douglas.
I have this with me right now. I grew up in India, now living in US. I grew up watching all the Hollywood movies , this scent gives late 90s New York winter vibes as much as I can get from the movies. Imagine you and your gf or wife walking down nyc streets in the evening looking at the Rockefeller Christmas tree and this is how you want to smell. But again tastes differ, I totally respect it if you don’t like this :)
Don't listen to her she talks bollocks
Was actually my first bottle I bought, in the 90s. Really didn't like how it smelled.
Is it true that obsession for woman smell like the vintage obsession for men?
Please do a review on Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion for men
It doesn’t give off rich sugar daddy vibes? :(
Typical arrogance from my generation. I can do without her piss poor attitude. 😂
This is either just a really bad reviewer or poorly designed rage bait to drive engagement. Obsession might not be to your personal taste but you can describe the notes and delve into the history of a vintage fragrance without insulting the people who love it for being older than you. It's so lazy and gives basic, if you weren't done insulting Obsession and people who grew up with it, you also found time to insult Baccarat just because it's popular
People who appreciate sensitive, descriptive reviews from reviewers who are passionate about fragrance and want to learn about notes and the history of fragrances should head over to excellent channels like A Fragrant Glance or Essence-tially Dacob
hey Erica try cerruti 1881 homme and Hugo boss orange man and ted lapidus altamir and emporio Armani diamonds very sexy x
smells nothing like kouros
Thank you for your comments about Obsession for men. Atomizer would have been easier and nicely spread (Eau de toilette). It was and is known that it was too powerful when opened. 20 to 30 minutes later there would have been a completely different (positive) reaction. Anyway, you convey the reviews nicely!
👋😃👍
Except it's half as good as it was.
Doesn't last.
Saw one of these wine channels er sorry fragrance channels last week and she was also about 30 but said how popular womens Obsession is with male and female.🤔
Yeah I remember that Willow Shafer did a women's Obsession review.
I'm just glad I was never a idiot and didn't pay the $250 plus they do for Ford or $300 Creed.
Personally I've known young guys in 96 wear £10 Jovan Musk .
As much as I like scents YT has turned everyone into a fragrance SNOB lol it's almost like wine.
" I'm getting lavender er No vanilla oh with an essence of wood oh actually fresh cut kitchen counter and a smell of the coffee machine at work on a Fri.
Hell if you like it wear it WGAF ???
I guess it's that animalic note that turns me away from this one I like everything else about it I saw someone comment it smells like public toilet and I can see that lol
Back then these fragrances lasted a long time but now so cheaply made by coty only last an hour? All the brands that come under coty.
In 10nyears from now people will think about you are old and then you will understand to respect
Try opium
Pour homme - stunning classic
Besides having an obnoxious personality and being unable to properly identify scents, I guarantee she wouldn't have called it a grandpa scent and trashed it if she didn't know the age.
Shit review, this is excellent and very complex
Review of ck eternity!!!
😘😘😘 okay!
No doubt she will say that is pissy 🙄
Yeah look out for those hot grampas. 🤣 Could be a few in nursing homes you never know. 👴 Paired with latin dancing, it did manage to seduce my 2nd gf tho... 🤫 Her face buried in my chest.... mine in hers....nuff said. 😂 Granted, it was the 90s formulation which was far more dynamic than what's out there now. Not a very good reform imho. Appreciate the impressions Erica! ❤
Great Video erica ya did Great!!
This is a stupid video. She knows nothing about perfume. She doesn't even know how to spray😂😂😂
This doesn't smell anywhere close to what it did back in the day. It smells MUCH cheaper with a hint of public toilet masked by warmed cinnamon. Absolutely gross now.
Hahahaha
Do obsession for women next
Maybe!
It does smell like a retirement home but it is an unique fragrance. It is longlasting, smells natural, and it has that warming cozy feeling it brings in winter time. 7/10 from me
Yeah, it's the hint of urine covered by cleaning products smell, yuck!
Ur smoking so I’ll subscribe ❤️
Why? You will lose your virginity no faster.
I don't like it. This isn't nasty by any means...but it's very old school..it's very 1980s..and it's probably so strong to be a discernable scent amongst all the cigarette smoke in the 1980s. It kind of smells like grandpas. It doesn't layer well with other fragrances...and it's sort of harsh. 4/10 overall. I have a 20 yr old bottle that's almost full 😂
Don’t feel bad, I give it a 0 😅
👀
😂🙈
This is too outdated, doesn't work at all anymore. Try Fahrenheit EdT.
Wow sexy dress congratulations very gorgeous amazing choice with the fragrance
I've always thought the OG Obsession smelled like trash
She talks a load of crap
She's insanely good looking.
You are so irresistible a woman of my dreams. how to resist?
You are now for sure in relationships as well
Good news for me that beautiful girl as you are will come to my life soon or later
Im glad you didn't like it. I was aussulted by a man who reeked of this fragrance. I can never forget it. So ever since that I will back out and away from this fragrance. Sorry for those of you who have good memories 😪
That's the fault of the man, not the scent.
Thanks for sharing. That was one of the worst smells in the 80s also the woman’s obsession, terrible smell. 😅🤙🏼
I've always liked it.
