Our verdict on APOM: Acquired

This MFK gem is a beautiful, smooth orange blossom and ylang-ylang blend. A modern classic for some, a touch too soapy or even 'dated' for others, APOM is a warm, elegant floral that shines brightest in warmer weather despite its initial divisive reception.

About

APOM opens with a radiant, almost champagne-like orange blossom, quickly joined by the creamy, sweet richness of ylang-ylang. A clean, subtle cedar note grounds the florals, preventing them from becoming overtly sweet or heady. The composition is bright yet warm, evolving into a sensuous, clean floral with a delicate, powdery undertone that lingers beautifully on the skin.
