Apollonia Eau de Parfum vs Rich Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.'
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, subtle nature make it highly suitable for office wear without being intrusive. However, some find it "boring," which could limit its appeal for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired. The powdery, non-energetic profile makes it less ideal for sport.
Seasons
Its floral, iris and powdery composition leans towards spring.
Occasions
Its potent floral and musky accords make it a bit much for the office or casual wear, but it truly shines in formal settings or on a date where its luxurious character can be appreciated.
