Which Should You Buy?
Un Air d'Apogée is a truly divisive scent; some find it a comforting, nostalgic masterpiece, others an unwearable stable-scent, or even headache-inducing. It's a risk-taker for sure, blending earthy and refined elements in a way that demands a try-before-you-buy approach. Not for everyone, but adored by many who do gel with it.
A truly evocative, woody experience that's both challenging and captivating. It's a proper grown-up scent, best suited for those who appreciate a journey into the deeper, greener side of perfumery, though some might find its potency a bit much.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong, distinctive woody and aromatic profile, Ciel D'Orage is a bit much for the office. It's better suited for formal occasions where its sophisticated depth can shine, or for a casual evening out.
