Which Should You Buy?
This MFK gem is a beautiful, smooth orange blossom and ylang-ylang blend. A modern classic for some, a touch too soapy or even 'dated' for others, APOM is a warm, elegant floral that shines brightest in warmer weather despite its initial divisive reception.
Aroma Essence recreates Maison Francis Kurkdjian's APOM - that radiant orange-blossom-and-lavender floral wrapped in warm amber. Wearers call the dupe very close and long-lasting, even layering it while saving the niche original for special days. A genuinely elegant, affordable orange-blossom amber.
