Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apogée EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Joy - 25 EDP
No. 25 captures the bergamot-rose-jasmine-musk arc of Dior's Joy but with far less richness in the rose and jasmine heart, resulting in a lighter, more generic floral musk that fades quickly.

Season and Occasion Fit

Apogée

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

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.

Joy - 25

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring

A soft, luminous floral-musk with a bright citrus top that suits warm-weather daytime wear.

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

A gentle everyday floral that fits office and casual wear more naturally than evening or formal occasions.
