Highest Point For Women

Highest Point opens on a soft citrus shimmer of tangerine and orange before settling quickly into its real subject: a dewy, green lily-of-the-valley laced with rose, much as Louis Vuitton's Apogee does. The heart carries magnolia and jasmine, though here they read fainter and more synthetic than the polished naturals of the original, letting a clean white musk dominate the middle and drydown. The base of sandalwood and guaiac wood adds a thread of soft woodiness, but the overall impression is of a fresh, soapy floral rather than the radiant, refined elegance Apogee is praised for. Longevity is moderate and sillage stays close to the skin, a little softer than the original's already-intimate projection. A pretty, uplifting spring-and-summer floral for office days, daytime errands and easy dates.
