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 - Apollo Musk EDP
A budget reading of Xerjoff's Apollonia - the same minimalist white-flower, powdery iris and creamy white-musk skin scent. Apollo Musk captures that cashmere-soft, lunar elegance but reads a touch flatter and simpler, and stays close like the original's already modest, skin-scent performance.
