This scent is not one that I love. It was just a bit too unisex for my liking.
With that being said however, there is no denying the genius of this creation. The mastery of Francis Kurkdjian is evident from the opening and all throughout the drydown. The perfect balance of the few notes offered. Everything is there yet subtle. He has no need to hit you over the head with his ingredients.
I was impressed with the obvious confidence he showed in putting this together. As if having a conversation with the wearer telling us there is never a need to overdo when in the hands of a true alchemist.

I agree with the review below for me also reminds me a lot of
JPG Gaultier 2, but better and more smooth, projection and sillage is Beast.
stranger7575500 – :
The first little bit after spraying this it reminds me of a better blended better performing JPG gaultier 2. Its so creamy and warm and comforting scent.
Ясаман – :
Wearing this today (sample). I’ve grown to enjoy this house. Everything I’ve sampled so far has decent/good longevity, and projection. Honestly, I could see myself just wearing fragrances from this house.
Mevcx693elipseskism – :
First five minutes its really spicy but once it settle down 85% of the spicy notes disappear, only the soapy notes are what left on my skin. The dry down reminds me of Outrageous by Frederic Malle.

So after testing this out for about a week, I can say (for me) this is an awesome scent. Definitely bottle worthy IMO. I can see how some people wouldn’t want to kick out the price tag for this, but some things are worth it. I always say save for what you want. We all have bills, so it’s certainly not a priority to have it. I’m digging this line in general. Finally started trying out different scents from this house, and loving the journey so far.
romaboxers – :
Scent – bright flowers & amber.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, during the night.
Projection – I did get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
Longevity – I get 8hrs consistently.
Amfi – :
For some reason this reminds me a lot of CK Obsession. I love MFK but not a fan of this scent. It opens really strong, little spicy to my nose, and very prominent cedar. It somehow smells moldy to me. It does get softer and more tolerable afterwards but still not a pleasant scent to me, which I think is more of a personal preference.
Quite heavy, so more suitable for night time or fall/winter.
pil – :
disappointed…
this has nothing to do with Fleur du Male… people say, that APOM is a better, more mature version of Fleur du Male, but that’s simply not true. FdM is a fresh white floral fragrance with some chamomille & magic.
APOM is a lot simpler scent (but higher quality of course). orange flower, amber & some cedarwood. boring imho. my other problem is, that the amber note is waaaay to strong in this one. i could not wear this in the summer. it needs colder temperature. probably fall is the beast season to rock this.

wwwkkkjjjqqq – :
You can not judge this one based on the initial blast of bitter orange and very concentrated cedar. It might not be pleasant in the first few minutes but boy this changes a lot. Give it a little time and it becomes to one heck of a smooth, sophisticated and simply great scent which doesnt have anything to do with the harsh opening blast. I for my one, i put it on, wrote it off right after and forgot about it but after an hours i started wondering about the delicious and wonderful scent that i was smelling every now and then and realized it was this APOM drying down. I love it to say the least.

Received free sample…not impressed. Low sillage/longevity and not a nice smell IMO.
polkJHjhvcbmn – :
Let me be upfront and state this type of fragrances isn’t in my scent wheelhouse – not quite my style. However, I have sampled this fragrances a handful of times over the years and, overall, I would have to say that I liked it, however I will not be buying a bottle for a couple additional reasons.
APOM opens with a smooth/velvety white floral accord mixed with fair amount of soft powder. What does it remind me of? You guessed it…JPG Fleur du Male, which is another Kurkjian creation that is highly underrated: it misses with the Hoi Polloi because it doesn’t smell like Department Store cologne and it misses with the Hoity Toity because it doesn’t come with a $300 price-tag so it must be crap. Two sets of dumbbells IMO.
Anyway, I don’t mean to imply APOM smells exactly like FdM, and it certainly has a bit richer and more luxurious niche feel to it, but it’s basically African Orange flower and soft baby power…so it’s hard not to associate the two fragrances during the opening as they share that MFK DNA. To me, the amber and cedar drydown was much more enjoyable–and more my style–while the white floral and powder accords moved to the background yet persists to the end. APOM is a quality fragrance and I do like it even though it is my quite my style.
To me, APOM is an formal office scent for the quiet, competent guy who is well-dressed, friendly and non-confrontational. He enjoys being a team-player and prefers working in the background. Moreover, he is the guy you can trust to do a thorough job and work harmoniously with others. However, this is not the guy who works well under pressure, with stressful/tight deadlines, or who must exude force over difficult people to get them to produce quality work while meeting deadlines.
Why wouldn’t I purchase a bottle? Besides not being my style, I do have a bottle of Fleur du Male that I wear from time-to-time when I am wanting to purposefully keep a low-profile and exude an aura of cooperation. It would be a mistake to wear Aventus in such situations since this fragrance screams, “I am large, in charge, and I am going to beat you down and take both your wife and daughter, if age appropriate, if you don’t respect my superiority.” Plus, it’s expensive when FdM can get the job done–and do it very well– for those times when I am strategically being non-confrontational.
Performance for this one is solid (above-average) so it projects well and lasts me an entire work day. Just my two-cents.
Iteseestehask – :
I don’t understand why some people dislike this fragrance. For me personally, I really enjoyed it. It’s sumptuous, bright, radiant, and lambent on my skin. I say, it’s a perfect day wear fragrance that isn’t offensive around others, nor heavy. It’s light but a robust silage in where I can still smell it on the neck of my clothes from the other day.
The notes in the opening was orange blossom, a small hint of indolic gardenia, magnolia, a lingering citronella that sort of waltz around you and makes reappearances. Then the fragrance warms up slightly like tea in a glass kettle: a small hint of galbanum, a bit of a green silky soft texture in the middle–maybe fern? or immortelle? Hard to distinguish but otherwise, very elegant. Then, it cools down to dry and yet retains the warmth with woodsy animalic notes: cedar, massoia, shavings of a paperbark and of course, a husky amber. Interestingly I did detect a shadow of indole.
For quite a “simple” fragrance, there were certainly complexities that came out. I feel one should appreciate this fragrance by spraying and leaning back to really get an idea of where the journey Francis is taking you on with it. I say even a handsome woman could wear APOM Homme. Tilda Swinton, Stella Tennant, are you reading this? It’s quite appropriate for day wear as I already mentioned, but it could even be a nice transition to evening which I had ready experimented with last night. It’s quite a versatile parfum. FYI: If it’s past 11:00pm, and APOM is beginning to call it a night, you can spray Grand Soir on top since the dry down of APOM’s dry down amber feels like an interlude for the following chapter of the night. It’s a very sleek and easy transition actually. Overall, I highly recommend to many men. I especially think this is a wonderful introduction fragrance for young men in their late 20s who are becoming gentlemen and maturing.
Ezyv555 – :
I hate the feeling after having tested a completely new scent and thinking; damn this is not new, i have had a similar scent before but then you cannot figure out which scent. This one is a floral and sweet scent at the begging. It smells really good and I also get some dirty vibes once it has dried down which is somwhat similar to leather oud from the house of Dior. I think this one is more wearable for office or school compared to Dior. I still dont think I will invest in a full bottle though.

It seems like an unfinished composition. Some might call it simplicity, I call it lack of creativity. This is not going to get a piece of my money.
bankir888 – :
I don’t understand what solar notes are, but if you asked me to offer up my own interpretation, I’d cite APOM Pour Homme. It’s a warm and radiant floral oriental that for me evokes sun-kissed skin, tanning lotion, and sweet, spicy sweat rinsed under salt water.
A beautiful orange flower – not white, not amber, but somewhere in between – dominates the top notes. It’s perfectly blended with a sweet amber accord that is subtly spicy, like carnation and vanilla whipped together. A subtle woodiness underpins the composition. That said, it’s pointless pulling apart the individual notes and accords – like all Francis Kurkjdian compositions, the notes are so seamlessly blended that it’s impossible to truly tell the building blocks. The effect is thoroughly unisex, despite the Pour Homme title.
Performance on my skin is enormous. APOM Pour Homme projects well and lasts a good six to eight hours. And what a glorious dry down it is! This was an instant love, and I can’t wait to try APOM Pour Femme, too.
Writerwolf – :
Just to add some dark to all this light in terms of compliments, I tried this again today. And man its still lost on me.
Is it possible to be obnoxiously clean/soapy smelling? This is one of those scents for me. Very strong, and old smelling as well to smell. I dont find this manly either but meh~
Im sure its just the right mix for some. But for me, its ridiculously expensive, obnoxious in its cleanliness sorta feeling just blah. I cant imagine wearing this. Im sure getting wafts of it in the air is ok if someone else is wearing it but ya these kinda scents are just totally not my vibe.
san4os.af – :
I loved Lumiere Noir Homme, a masterpiece composition, the best male rose frag out there. I have tried about 7 other MFK fragrances and mostly dissapointed, looking for another great fragrance to ad to a complete colection.
I had some hope for APOM Homme. Yes it is a very nice orange blossom, and it’s not feminine like most all the unisex MFK frags I have tried. I have Seville L’Aube by L’Artisan Perfumers by Bertrand Duchaufour. It has a green, quality Orange blosom, but blended with beeswax, balsamic notes, a much nicer, beautiful men’s orange blosom edp frag, that can be found discounted on eBay for $80/100 ml.
What MFK is doing with a lot of his fragrances that are not very unique except for Lumiere Noir, he takes very popular marketable fragrances, like Lutens Chergui or Chanel Bleu, or Egoist Platinum, Amber Absolu, and making a better quality, more refined fragrance that has a very similar vib to very popular and recognizable fragrances to the fragrance community.
Absolu Pour Le Soir is an exceptional, refined amber fragrance, maybe the only one I would consider purchasing. It is very much like Sahara Noir, and TF Amber Absolu…
So this house is doing clever marketing and making a lot of money, but I am not impressed with the creativity. Francis can come up with extraordinary and beautiful fragrances, but he is a master perfumer, who has great blending and quality notes. The only knock I have is that he has played it safe with most of his releases.
Maybe in future years he will make another masterpiece like Lumiere Noir Homme, and I will be waiting for it, but for now I am done looking at MFK.

I’ve received a 2ml decant of this Eau De Toilette and sprayed one at my arm and one on my chest today at 10 am. 4 hours passed and it already become skin scent.
I used to own Gaultier 2 (nose behind is again Francis Kurkdjian) back in 2005 it didn’t take long before I recall the same amber used in both fragrances. Certainly musk and vanilla replaced in APOM with orange flower, which has become his staple note. That makes this a bit more suitable for 3 season but with this price point and linear performance I guess I prefer Gaultier 2 with half the price of this.
I may finish the decant but not a full bottle worthy.
frololonglula1990 – :
I agree with the comment that mention the similarity to Amouoage Reflection Man. I had Amouage, and now have APOM homme, and it is almost the same, very same.
I looked for the net if anybody noticed this and found one blog on basenote. Many pepople did not found it similar but it is do the same! Of course very pleasant fragrance.
s.malewinskij – :
APOM Pour Homme by Kurkdjian is a floral masculine perfume. The mail accords are Orange Flower, Amber and Cedar. Those people who are interested in “Amouage Refection” would like this magnificent masterpiece. This lovely product is a 4 season perfume for daily usage with great longevity and projection.

scent : 8/10
sillage : 7/10
longevity :8/10
60% day / 40% night fragrance
nice amber,powdery and soapy scent
reminds me of Ambre Extreme L`Artisan but this one is more masculine and less powder.
Traisastimits – :
Francis Kurkdjian definitely makes flavors with personality, and this was not going to be less.
Admission is fresh, citrus, aldehydic, very interesting when bound to blossom into a modern very stimulating citrus (plus point)
When it reaches the middle phase the aroma becomes clean for my taste soap gets into the heavy and persistent territory “laundry detergent” (negative) at this stage and sweet amber is detected.
Drying with a soft touch of cedar wood and amber seizes the olfactory sense of the base, which tops all in a somewhat thankless environment for my nose for those enduring soap scum behind the sweet amber.
Duration and good trail with a very good performance.

There is indeed something about MFK fragrances that the smell does never collude with the notes displayed… ever!
Having said that, APOM is a pleasant scent I have smelled in a long time and interesting so because it makes me think: it’s not designer, it’s niche, then; it is designer, it is not niche.
I can never tell the notes apart but I get a most pleasant orange blossom faint detergent vibe after wearing it. It is easily one of those fragrances that could become the right person’s signature scent.
That person would be a bit of a soft core flirt, maybe somehow scared of real emotion and romanticism and is only in for a good ride and leaves you with a part of him which is pretty forgettable if you really think of it but he was good whilst the fling lasted hahaha. Sometimes he just comes to your mind in the moments when you just need a gentle perking up.
The fragrance itself is not my style but I like it because it is pleasant and very wearable.
nblxa – :
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”
A famous well-known quote allegedly said by Da Vinci but the irony is that old Leo probably never said it at all. But hey, it makes a great wallpaper and it sure as hell is spot on for this symphony of notes.
This fragrance truly shines in it’s simplicity. All notes are instantly recognizable and so easy to identify making this nectar accessible and uncomplicated. None of this 60 notes blends crap where you can hardly pick up 3 or 4 true notes and personally I already like it just because of that. It makes my nose go ‘hey – I recognize you’ without deep frying my brain cells.
APOM delivers a playful, cheerful and delicious fragrance through domination of high quality cedar and orange blossom notes. The amber is there to connect the dots and keep the entire composition sensual. Personally I find cedar an excellent material to combine with sweeter notes. There is something intelligent about it and this wooden touch provides just enough masculinity to keep it interesting and sexy through all the stages. In a way the vibe is highly similar to ‘By Kilian – Straight to heaven’ but then flowery instead of boozy. In fact this is the perfect pitstop between Straight to Heaven and Sweet redemption. And yes guys, this is flowery combined with woody so it’s not the biggest alpha male scent out there but true alpha men change this into mysterious and adventurous. If you’re comfortable with yourself you will treasure the comfort level of this fragrance.
Longevity is average (4-5 hours)
Projection is average
Cum laude in uniting niche and wearibility and does it without a drop of sweat, if only the longevity would be amplified …

Beautiful things don’t ask for attention. There are only 3 notes but APOM Pour Homme is very unique, complex and high quality, it is masterfully crafted.
APOM opens with orange blossom, fresh clean orange blossoms.
The orange blossoms is finely sweetened by honey. When wearing APOM, it is clear to see how much Maison Francis Kurdjian cares for orange blossoms through his treatment of this note. It blooms and hypnotizes me.
The scent begins to warm up as amber enters.
The cedar is perfect here with its woody dryness, the heady florals and amber.
Longevity on my skin is great and sillage is gorgeous.
Sensual, warm, and elegant.
Both versions of APOM are breathtaking, I just can’t decide which one to add to my collection.
xamilion – :
A part of me, that’s the real name of APOM, for those saying “A piece of me”. For me, APOM was a real event of “love at first sight”… It’s, hands down, the best floral fragrance for men among every other on shelves. As a floral, amber and woodsy notes lover, discovering APOM PH was such an incredible and remarkable experience. The coziness sensation that it gives me, alas… Unetterable! Unique fragrance!!!
Amazing one from MFK, and by now, the best from the house, IMO. APOM have already become “a part of me”! Mad longevity though.
Overall: 10 out of 10.

rikocc – :
there’s just something sexy and brazen about a woman wearing a “pour homme” fragrance (not that I even subscribe to that malarkey). APOM PH is easier to wear than, say, Aventus, and it has a certain je ne sais quoi that makes it just that bit more intriguing and inviting, at least on my skin. I know. I smell loved. That’s what this scent makes me feel. Loved. It’s powdery softness (thanks orange blossom) and ambery woodiness makes the best of all combinations–universally beautiful for all to enjoy. FB worthy for me…
anchuta – :
APOM is starting to become signature worthy for my. Perfect for any season, any occasion. Inoffensive and light but projects enough for those around to pick up on it. I ended up getting my bottle for about $115 90% full from a BN’er. My only complaint is the price. $185 for 70 ml is a little steep, especially for an EDT. Although I like that this fragrance doesn’t choke out a room I wish it was a little stronger. That being said I’ve not had negative feedback from this and only positive. This is definitely a repurchase once my bottle is finished. MFK doesn’t ever seem to disappoint.

Unfortunately not for me, MFK finally let me down.
I really expected to like or even love this one being a huge MFK fan, but alas I pretty much hated it right off the bat. So disappointed as I expected fireworks but got a a Bic lighter. Best description I can come up with is that it smells like musky dust… even makes me sneeze like dust too.
staifsEntairm – :
All about the orange flower with a touch of amber. Right on the line of masculine and feminine. Strong and long lasting, a great spring time signature fragrance. I love it, but if you do not like the note of orange flower, you may not like this.
Арчи – :
I often read comments and reviews from men stating that they dislike certain floral dominant scents for being what they perceive as too feminine. This fragrance is one of them and unfortunately the concept of men wearing floral fragrances is still controversial to many. For reasons beyond my understanding, even a lot of women I know will turn their noses up at the very mention of a floral perfume. A close friend of mine swears she hates florals, but frequently wears Chanel’s Coco (seriously). These same women will quite literally throw themselves at me just to inhale the scent of fragrances like APOM pour homme (orange blossom), Lumière Noire pour homme (rose) or Dior Homme Intense (iris). When I state that they’re smelling a floral fragrance, they usually appear genuinely shocked. A floral that smells good…On a man? As we all know, these floral notes are extremely obvious to pretty much any fragrance enthusiast, but to the common nose, they likely won’t even link it to their often outdated concept of what constitutes a modern, wearable floral perfume. Yes, flowers can smell fantastic. With APOM, I occasionally receive remarks along the lines of “Oh my God. You smell SO good. What is that?” It’s a strange thing when you try to understand the perceptions of the masses, but I love challenging such perceptions.
артём ермолаев – :
APOM = A – Powdery – Orange Blossom – Mix
High quality, well blended, and straight forward notes that stay linear for a fairly long wear.
Although I sampled the APOM Pour Homme, I still found it leaning towards the feminine. (Not a big surprise given the prominent floral/powder notes).
I suppose if you enjoy smelling like a Park Avenue elderly widow you may enjoy this creation.
Wailkisiosy – :
This is a very unique fragrance. It catapults me to my teenage years when I first kissed and made out with a girl. The sensuality of her skin scent, her lipstick, the deep kissing. This fragrance brought it all back to me. I could even remember the slight Wrigley spearmint gum taste on her lips. Lovers’ saliva has been mentioned before and I have to agree. Ah, the thrill and excitement of teenage love’s night of kissing. We guys have long memories. Thanks Francis for making a fragrance that gave me a thrill. It is a very well done fragrance and great staying power. Just terrific!
adettefah – :
Oh man…. you know when someone comes up with a seemingly random, wacky, out of nowhere scent association that is somehow so right on and true that its all you can think about in regards to a fragrance? When a reviewer below said that APOM smelled like Saliva ( he actually wrote high-quality Saliva which is an interesting distiction because it connotes a lover’s saliva) I thought oh no, he’s kind of right.
Alot of people seem to think this has a “lovers bed” or post-sex feel because of the amber creating a warm skin vibe, but to me i get a warm saliva ,kissing for hours aroma. Am I crazy? Maybe but there is at least one other crazy on this site who agrees.
Nera) – :
BACKGROUND: Francis Kurkdjian says this fragrance is meant to be a representation of the scent you leave behind on your lover after being with them intimately…. It’s an interesting thought, but he’s certainly not the first Parfumer to conjure this up. Roja Dove, for example did the same thing in the past…. Great minds do think alike 🙂
APOM strikes me as being very very similar in DNA to another fragrance I recently blind bought based on the reputation of the House and the hype on the market and in the Frag community (Xerjoff, Kobe).
Right off the bat, BOTH fragrances open up almost identical Yes guys, this is almost identical -a 95% carbon copy to Xerjoff’s Kobe. Interestingly, Kurkdjian lists: Orange blossom, Cedar & Amber as his ONLY notes in this blend…. And yet, despite Kobe using far more: such as Styrax, Brazilian Rosewood, Tonka Bean, Labdanum.., etc- the two come out basically very close copies of each other after the blending process…. I dare to say, perhaps very few of us would be able to readily distinguish between the two in a blind, side-by-side comparison….
For me though, I detect certain nuances between the two: How so, the Brazilian Rosewood, Agarwood (Oud) and benjoin add certain subtle distinctions in Kobe…. Result? A beautiful creamy texture, supported by that vanilla-like, very gourmand appeal….
In the end, it can be illustration this way: two drivers set out on a journey to the same destination. One driver uses the expressway, while the other is content to use the back streets and side roads. Result? They inevitably arrive at the SAME destination, despite different routes….. The proof here is that Francis Kurkdjian lists Amber one of his 3 main notes, while Sergio Momo (Master Perfumer) utilizes the combination of benzoin with vanilla and labdanum to create that addictive accord of amber.
CONCLUSION: BOTH GREAT fragrances, well-blended with distinct alluring phases… What it comes down to- Kobe brings a little bit MORE to the table and we rightly pay that added dollar for such luxury & performance. If you already own APOM, then I don’t see the need at all to add Kobe and vice versa. However, if you have NEITHER, then I strongly suggest you fork out that extra $75 or so and get the Kobe… And as you indulge in its decadence, you’ll see it’s worth every penny it commands……..

APOM PH basically consists of three notes- orange blossom, amber and cedar but with the exceptional talent and skill of Mr. Kurkdjian, he managed to create yet another masterpiece.. APOM PH is a floral powdery scent with the comforting base of amber.. It is clean, natural smelling but with depth that’s never too loud or heavy.. It is persistent and projects just right!

Kurkdjian uzun süredir denemeyi istedigim ancak firsat bulamadigim bir marka. Her yerde bulmakta mumkun degildi. Ancak Harvey Nichols da karsima cikti ve 8 parfumden olusan deneme seti iyi bir firsat oldu. Bir haftadir boyunca hepsini deneme firsatim oldu. Tek tek ayrintiya belki sonra girebilirim ama ilk tespitim hepsinin oldukca başarılı oldugu. Hicbiri rahatsiz etmedi, ucuz yada basit kokan yok. 8 in in arasinda aklimada en belirgin kalan ise Apom oldu. Notalari nedeniyle hafif bir “eski” havasi olsa da eski degil, eskiye saygili bir “yeni” havasi var. Kullanimi cok keyifli, ilk 1-2 saat kuvvetli, 6 saatin sonunda kaybolma noktasina geliyor. Kumas uzerinde 12 saati bulabiliyor. Her yasa uygun, her mevsime yakisir.
Sanirim Kurkdjian a bundan sonra daha fazla ilgi göstermek gerekecek.

I know this is technically labeled a “man’s” fragrance but to my nose it passes as unisex. Both of MFK’s Apom’s are amazing, but I tend to favor the Homme over the Femme, even though they are very smiliar in notes. My skin does very well with amber and the drydown of the Homme smells amazing. It is no where near what I call a masculine scent and smells very feminine on me, but I can also see a woman liking this on a man because of how great it smells. My husband tried it on and he did say it smells more feminine than’s he’s used to. I really enjoyed this fragrance and wouldn’t mind having it in my collection.

APOM by Francis Kurkdjian is a true masterpiece! I decided to wear it yesterday (Sunday)and I am so glad I did. The opening is a beautiful orange citrus blast that just knocked me off my feet. So elegant, refined and masculine. If you really like “orange notes” this is THE fragrance to buy. It is “sunshine” in a bottle. It lasts and lasts, I got many compliments. Worth every single penny. Thank you Francis Kurkdjian for creating this beautiful composition.
SPEECEFIETS – :
Simply perfect!
Clean, warm, elegant and somehow sexy fragrance. A reference masterpiece of talented F.Kurkdjian.
Soapy-powdery quality of sharp orange flower and soft-sweet warmness of amber combined outstandingly perfect here. There’s slight traces of lavender coming to my nose. And the ambery base is like an attractive skin smell under the sun, sometimes you get the “honeyed” sweetness also. Cedar gives just enough amount of woodiness and restrain the whole sweetness of the composition.
Very balanced and timeless design which i will keep it with me for my whole life. Refined, subtle and epic beauty for me!
P.S. This perfume was custom made for the CEO of the MFK company first, but then they decided to put it in the collection.

I think the fragrance name should be “A Piece of Me”. It sounds like a poem! I know it is a contraction, but “APOM” is so strange, in my opinion…
nervi – :
This is a wonderful fragrance. It took awhile to understand it fully. The honey and amber is what draws you into this fragrance. It makes you feel good throughout the day. Good projection and long lasting. It’s unique and a master work. You can be confident I wearing this and knowing no one else has it. It’s subtle and powerful at the same time, kind of like a Cadillac CTS car, smooth and powerful and surprisingly fast. Just wonderful!

Ty for All your reviews guys: well balanced, thorough, informative and unbiased…. Just ordered two samples from Luckyscent & now I’m waiting to behold MFK’s magic!!!
skurn – :
The first thing I thought of when I smelled this: velvet. It is a bit heavy, smooth, sexy but not flashy, quality but in a robust no-nonsense way. Also it has a lot of sweetness which on my skin gets stronger as time passes. It is also a rather linear scent: on my skin it does not change much for a long time apart from the progressing sweetness. Sillage was moderate (which I prefer) and longevity definitely on the better side but not incredible, it lasted for the day.
This is absolutely a unisex scent. In fact I can imagine more women getting attracted to this scent as it gets so sweet in the later stages which seems to be connected with feminine scents these days. But would also be sexy on a man with a sweet tooth and an urge for smooth leathery scents! APOM probably costs more than the experience I got out of it is worth as it was good but not unique.
Conclusion: a sweet, sexy (and overpriced) unisex scent.
prekTinkdrark – :
APOM is a masterpiece!!
So elegant but at the same time sillage is very good, it feels like you got wrapped by smooth natural amber, cedar and orange blossom. Nothing is synthectic here. Charming and so sexy, no wonder APOM is a part of master Kurkdjian.
carpinteyrolto – :
I was hoping for more based on the many positive reviews here. But to me APOM most closely resembles the scent from those anti-static sheets like Bounce that you toss in your clothes dryer. I can get that scent for a lot less than $175 a bottle. Very linear
kolodiuk1 – :
This one implies rude ,,,,mean, beyond limits and daring flirtation, however, luxuriously. It is really daring one particularly, for the unique note of high quality saliva mixed with high quality of lipstick produced by the lips and mouth of aristocratic lady.
