    Hope it’s light on the mandarin and vanilla, don’t will it will be though. Not a fan of sage, could do without that note. Guarana, lol, does this CK help you burn fat? Lol, have only seen that in fat burners or diet pills, lol. Some notes look good though, I’d sniff it.

    Is Dark the new Noir? Is Clary Sage the new Oud?

      Thank you , Calvin Klein, for NOT calling it Obsession Noir. Or Obsession Oud!

        Ya, lol, I was like, hey at least they didn’t say noir! Noir doesn’t mean dark anymore in fumes a lot of times, sad really!

        Looking forward to trying this one! I wear my dad’s original Obsession and it really is a favorite of mine.

        Kind of random, but speaking of noir, I was looking at a Nordstrom catalog of upcoming fragrances and Juicy Couture Viva Noir is coming in July. Sorry to break the bad/annoying news about yet another noir! Hahaha! ; )
