Obsession Summer offers a light, airy, and aquatic profile that evokes warm summer days at the beach or in a resort lobby. It features bright citrus and bergamot notes that give it a fresh, clean opening, balanced with subtle woody and powdery accords. The scent is soft and delicate—more skin-scent than projection—with a dry, musky drydown reminiscent of white musk and faded floral whispers. Many users find it pleasant and reminiscent of vintage CKOne or Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey, with a faint echo of the original Obsession but much lighter and less intense. The fragrance is appreciated for its suitability in warm weather, particularly day-wear, and is often praised for its unisex character and quiet elegance. However, its longevity is weak, fading quickly within an hour to an almost imperceptible trail, making it ideal for those seeking a temporary, refreshing scent rather than a long-lasting statement.
