The scent 'Obsession' by Calvin Klein is believed to attract jaguars, tigers, cheetahs, and other wild cats.

The scent 'Obsession' by Calvin Klein indeed attracts jaguars, as supported by multiple reputable sources, including Vice and NBC News, which mention its use in wildlife studies. For tigers, an NPR article suggests 'Obsession' has also been used to lure them, but there is less consensus on its effectiveness compared to jaguars. However, there is no substantial evidence that the scent attracts cheetahs. Further general claims about it attracting other wild cats lack specific support from reliable sources.
