LeatheryWhat does Un Air d'Apogée smell like?
Aniseed and sage open with a spicy edge; in the heart, mimosa absolute, cedar and honey set a floral sweetness on a woody footing. The base adds leather, Balkans tobacco and labdanum for a resinous, smoky warmth, softened by Brazilian tonka bean and Ambrox, which leave a powdery finish.
Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most pick fall, then winter, and it leans towards evening and leisure wear. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it reads comfortably either way. Naomi Goodsir Cuir Velours and Profumi di Pantelleria Passum have a close profile.
