Our Verdict - Apres l'Ondee Eau de Parfum

Apres l'Ondee is a profoundly poetic and divisive scent. Some find it a masterpiece of delicate melancholy, evocative of a bygone era. Others are left scratching their heads, or worse, smelling old lipstick or bathroom cleaner. Longevity is a common grievance, though many deem its fleeting nature part of its charm.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual
