APOM Homme

7.9

Maison Francis Kurkdjian · 2009

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM Homme is a masculine fragrance built on amber, Tunisian orange blossom and cedarwood, and it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring, with fall and summer not far behind and winter the least chosen. It sits close to leisure, night out and daily wear, and most voters read it as masculine. The notes come as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Tunisian orange blossom gives a fresh, floral lift, amber adds sweetness and a creamy, powdery softness, and cedarwood sets a woody, lightly spicy frame. A fruity touch runs through the blend.
