With Black Friday still weeks away, savvy shoppers are already uncovering spectacular bargains, and one standout deal is catching the eye of fragrance enthusiasts across the UK. Superdrug has slashed the price of Calvin Klein's iconic Obsession perfume, a scent famously adored by actress Jane Fonda, by a massive 61%.
A Timeless Fragrance at a Fraction of the Price
You can now purchase a 100ml bottle of Obsession eau de parfum for just £34, a significant reduction from its original price of £88. This represents the best deal currently available for this classic scent. While competitor Boots is also offering a discount, their price for the identical bottle is a higher £44, making the Superdrug promotion the clear winner for your wallet.
The fragrance's high-profile fan, Jane Fonda, confirmed her loyalty to the scent in an interview with Glamour magazine last year. When asked about her beauty essentials, the Hollywood legend revealed, "I've stopped using perfumes. That's because so many people I know are allergic. But when I did wear it, my one and only perfume was Calvin Klein's Obsession." This endorsement has only heightened the perfume's desirability.
What Makes Calvin Klein Obsession So Special?
Launched in 1985, Obsession was Calvin Klein's first major fragrance success and quickly came to define the bold, dramatic style of the 1980s. Classified as an amber perfume, it opens with vibrant top notes of bergamot, mandarin, and lemon, complemented by a base of warm vanilla.
The heart of the fragrance is where its distinctive character lies, featuring a rich blend of smoky coriander, oakmoss, jasmine, rose, and sandalwood. These are all underpinned by deep, musky foundation notes that give the scent its long-lasting power.
Enduring Appeal Confirmed by Devoted Fans
Online reviews for Obsession are a testament to its lasting popularity. One long-time user wrote, "I've been using this perfume for years - timeless and gorgeous!" Another shared, "I've been wearing this scent, off and on, for the past 30 years... When you leave the room, people will know you were there."
Many reviewers specifically praise its suitability for cooler weather. One noted, "This is a spicy heavy winter scent that reminds me of cosy jumpers and a warm fire... I find myself buying at least a small bottle every autumn." However, a word of caution from another fan: "If you favour a light, sweet, floral fragrance then this might not be for you," highlighting its potent and spicy character.
This Superdrug sale offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of fragrance history, beloved by a screen icon and generations of wearers, at an exceptionally low price. The deal is available now, well ahead of the official Black Friday rush on November 28.
