What does Apothéose smell like?

It opens fresh and lightly spicy with pepper and eucalyptus. Lily, rose and ylang-ylang give the heart a soft floral character, and balsam, benzoin and musk settle it onto a creamy, powdery, resinous base. The green and fresh tones keep the flowers from feeling heavy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, and daily, office and leisure wear lead. It sits evenly between feminine and masculine, with a classic feel. Œillet Sauvage and L'irreprochable share a close profile.
