Calvin Klein OBSESSION NIGHT WOMAN is a great flanker, but it is completely misnamed. It should really be called: CERRUTI 1881 SANS SAVON. I jest not, the similarities between ONW and CERRUTI 1881 are patent, despite the apparent dissimilarities of their floral notes. The bases are nearly identical, and the proportions of flowers must be about the same, although OBSESSION NIGHT WOMAN boasts neither iris nor violet.
It's rather remarkable, in fact, how wrong OBSESSION NIGHT WOMAN is as a name for this very likeable, totally unobsessional, daytime, unisex fragrance. This is a light woody-floral, slightly sweet and barely spicy perfume, which I like a lot. I prefer CERRUTI 1881, because it has a bit more depth and I do like its soupcon of soapiness, but if I run into a bottle of ONW, I might well add it to my collection. Very nice and subtle. Essentially the antithesis of OBSESSION.
