What does Apex (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Voters mostly call its character masculine and classic.
It opens with mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot, then softens through pineapple, jasmine and cistus. In the dry-down patchouli, tobacco, juniper berry and labdanum take over, while frankincense and oakmoss add a resinous, green depth. The Dua Brand Predator and Nicolaï New York Intense have a close profile.
