Few things are as marked in our memory as first love. When Kate Moss was only 18 years old she starred in a film with photographer Mario Sorrenti and this was reflected in the campaign of the perfume Obsession, by Calvin Klein, which is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

It was 1993 when Calvin Klein offered the photographer the job that would change his life and that of the model forever and would make them both icons of an era.

To take these photos, Sorrenti and Moss were lost in the Virgin Islands for a week in which they were completely alone, with no makeup equipment, hairdresser, wardrobe or direction. Just a young couple in love. "I was never again so in love or so obsessed with photographing a person [as with him]," recalls Sorrenti.

Taking advantage of the anniversary of this photo session, the firm has presented the new Obsessed perfumes in tribute to this iconic moment.

"It brings back so many memories," says the photographer in the new campaign. “It's amazing to see those eyes again […] We were young, we were in love and I loved photographing her. When we did Obsession she was 18 and I was 20, we had just started our lives, without pressure for anything.”

"Mixing memory and desire, the masculine and the feminine, the past and the present, Obsessed is the modern version of the original Obsession for men and women," the firm announced from his Instagram account.

The perfumes are already on sale at Macy's: with notes of vanilla, woods and amber for him ($ 64) and with a mix of neroli, white lavender and musk for her ($ 75).
