Which Should You Buy?
Apogée is a divisive floral from Louis Vuitton - some love its elegant blend of white flowers, others find it shockingly generic and overpriced. Expect a refined, clean floral that plays it safe, which is a let-down for some given the brand.
An affordable echo of Louis Vuitton's Apogee. The fresh green lily-of-the-valley-and-rose heart over clean musk is recognisable, but the dupe leans cleaner and slightly soapier than Apogee's refined, natural-smelling original, with the magnolia and jasmine sitting back behind a louder white musk.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean floral character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, where an 'inoffensive' scent is often preferred. However, its often-criticised moderate longevity and sillage mean it might not make a lasting impression for formal events or romantic dates. It's often described as a 'daytime' scent.
Seasons
A fresh, green, dewy floral that feels brightest in the warmth of spring and early summer and too delicate for cold weather.
Occasions
Its clean, soft-spoken floral character is ideal for the office and daytime wear, easily carrying into a relaxed date without overwhelming.
