Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Obsession for Men Summer opens with a brisk, slightly bitter herbal punch from artemisia, quickly joined by the smooth, green freshness of sage. This aromatic core is softened by a subtle woody undertone of cedar, giving it a clean and refreshing feel that’s perfect for warmer days. It's a light, airy composition that aims for understated elegance rather than bold projection.
