Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's Highest Point For Men copies the pineapple, oakmoss and leather character of Roja Parfums Apex, with a long base list that includes rum, tobacco and galbanum. Expect a flatter, simpler version of the original's layered chypre.

Note weights are our estimate from each note's place in the pyramid, not the share of the formula. Brands do not publish formulations.
Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Oakmoss, leather and tobacco read best in cool weather, and the pineapple opening turns heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
A dry leather chypre that suits evenings and smart daywear more than the gym or a hot afternoon.
