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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Highest Point For Men EDP
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.

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.

Highest Point For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Oakmoss, leather and tobacco read best in cool weather, and the pineapple opening turns heavy in summer heat.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Casual Formal

A dry leather chypre that suits evenings and smart daywear more than the gym or a hot afternoon.
