Which Should You Buy?
Apollonia is a deeply divisive scent. Some find it a 'cold,' 'lunar' masterpiece - soft, graceful, and pure. Others are put off by a 'sharp acetone' opening or find it 'boring,' 'dated,' or simply 'blah.' Its 'intimate' sillage is often noted, with some finding it 'overpriced for what it offers.'
This one's a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair for those seeking a more primal thrill. It dials up the animalic musk and deep gardenia, making for a sophisticated, slightly 'skanky' Chypre that's definitely not for everyone, but adored by many.

The powdery, non-energetic profile makes it less ideal for sport.
