Which Should You Buy?
Un Air d'Apogée is a truly divisive scent; some find it a comforting, nostalgic masterpiece, others an unwearable stable-scent, or even headache-inducing. It's a risk-taker for sure, blending earthy and refined elements in a way that demands a try-before-you-buy approach. Not for everyone, but adored by many who do gel with it.
A truly polarising beast, Junoon Velvet Pour Homme is either a 'ravishing' and 'opulent' scent or 'weird herbs' and 'not a pleasant smell'. If you can ride out the divisive opening, you'll find a luxurious, velvety leather drydown that punches well above its price tag.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and warm, inviting nature make it ideal for dates and more intimate formal settings, where its unique character can be appreciated. While some find it too polarising for the office, its softer sillage makes it acceptable for a considered choice. The earthy and tobacco notes are ill-suited for energetic activities.
