Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apollonia EDP
Apollonia is a deeply divisive scent. Some find it a 'cold,' 'lunar' masterpiece - soft, graceful, and pure. Others are put off by a 'sharp acetone' opening or find it 'boring,' 'dated,' or simply 'blah.' Its 'intimate' sillage is often noted, with some finding it 'overpriced for what it offers.'

Our Verdict - Rich EDP
This isn't just 'Rich' by name; it's a statement. A bold, unapologetic floral that grabs attention, though it might divide a room with its potent blend. Not for the faint of heart, it's a perfume that wears you as much as you wear it.

The powdery, non-energetic profile makes it less ideal for sport.
