Emanuel Ungaro Apparition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Francis Kurkdjian and Françoise Caron. Apparition opens with Pimiento and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Passion Flower and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Emanuel Ungaro's Apparition carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive raspberry liqueur bomb that smells much pricier than it is. Some find it a bit much, others adore its unique, sweet-and-spicy character, but everyone agrees it's strong and lasting. It’s got a cult following for a reason.

About

Apparition opens with a burst of juicy, sweet raspberry, quickly spiced up by pimiento for an exotic, almost liqueur-like warmth. The heart introduces a lush blend of rose and passion flower, adding a delicate florality, before settling into a rich, powdery base of tonka, vanilla, amber, heliotrope, and a surprisingly elegant patchouli. It’s a fruity gourmand with a grown-up twist.
