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.
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
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 soft, luminous floral-musk with a bright citrus top that suits warm-weather daytime wear.
Occasions
A gentle everyday floral that fits office and casual wear more naturally than evening or formal occasions.
