Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apex EDP

Apex is a divisive beast: a modern, green chypre that pays homage to masculine classics without being a mere copy. Some find it old-fashioned or weak-performing, while many hail its quality and confident aroma. If you love classic green scents, you'll likely appreciate its sophisticated take.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Kotor EDP

A sophisticated unisex fragrance that elegantly balances aromatic spices and fresh citrus notes for a versatile wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Apex

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its blend of classic masculinity and strong sillage makes it well-suited for formal and date nights, where its bold character can shine. It's too assertive for casual wear and far too heavy for sport, but its elegant side could work for some office environments if applied sparingly.

Kotor

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring Winter

Kotor's rich spicy and aromatic profile suits the mild temperatures of spring and the cozy feel of fall, but it can feel heavy in summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate intensity makes it versatile for casual and date settings, with a cozy spice suitable for private occasions rather than active or sports contexts.
