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.'
A creamy, clean, and soft violet dream from Duchessa di Parma, this scent is an elegant nod to history, perfect for those who appreciate understated femininity and a touch of vintage charm.

The powdery, non-energetic profile makes it less ideal for sport.
