Between love and madness lies obsession…

Posted by Robin on 3 August 2008 6 Comments

Eva Mendes in the "banned" commercial for Calvin Klein's upcoming fragrance, Secret Obsession. NSFW, so I've put it after the jump. I assume they've got a cleaned-up version that they'll run on TV.

And if you've got a secret obsession that you'd like to share with the internets, click on over to the "share your secret" page at the Secret Obsession website.

    That's not extremely racy, but still maybe it should run on tv after a certain hour. It's not as sexy as I would have thought. CK usually pushes the limit.

    I thought it was fairly tame. Sophie Dahl for YSL's Opium was much more provocative imho.

    Not as sexy as I would have thought either. If they'd left out the bare breast, I'm sure it could run at any hour, and I assume they included that just for the extra jolt of publicity you get from a “banned” ad, a la Sean John or Tom Ford.

    Agree, although have only seen the print ad for that — was there a video too?
