It is so dreamy

Calvin Klein will launch Secret Obsession, a new fragrance for women fronted by Eva Mendes, this coming September.

The Secret Obsession fragrance is a floriental with no relationship to the original Calvin Klein Obsession scent other than the name and the steamy advertising (the television spot has apparently been nixed by network censors). According to a Coty representative…
