AXE Apollo is a body spray launched in 2013, created by Ann Gottlieb. Apollo opens with Quince, Mandarin, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. AXE's Apollo carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive trip down memory lane. For some, it's a nostalgic ode to high school locker rooms, while for others, it's a genuinely pleasant, surprisingly sophisticated take on a classic men's scent profile. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it reaction, but don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its weak longevity and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual everyday wear and sport without being overpowering. While not ideal for formal events, its fresh and clean profile means it can surprisingly work for some date situations, though it risks being too casual for others.

About

Apollo opens with a zesty burst of mandarin and quince, brightened by a hint of clary sage's herbal freshness. The heart unfolds into a clean, aromatic blend of lavender and violet leaf, softened by the powdery touch of iris. As it settles, a smooth, warm base emerges, featuring creamy sandalwood and cashmere wood, rounded out by earthy vetiver and a touch of amber, giving it a classic, masculine finish.
