Louis Vuitton 2016 EDP
Apogée
by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud
Louis Vuitton Apogée is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Apogée opens with Orange and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Magnolia, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Louis Vuitton's Apogée carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.
Apogée is a divisive floral from Louis Vuitton - some love its elegant blend of white flowers, others find it shockingly generic and overpriced. Expect a refined, clean floral that plays it safe, which is a let-down for some given the brand.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean floral character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, where an 'inoffensive' scent is often preferred. However, its often-criticised moderate longevity and sillage mean it might not make a lasting impression for formal events or romantic dates. It's often described as a 'daytime' scent.
