Xerjoff Apollonia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner. Apollonia opens with Jasmine, settles into a heart of Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk. Xerjoff's Apollonia carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Apollonia is a deeply divisive scent. Some find it a 'cold,' 'lunar' masterpiece - soft, graceful, and pure. Others are put off by a 'sharp acetone' opening or find it 'boring,' 'dated,' or simply 'blah.' Its 'intimate' sillage is often noted, with some finding it 'overpriced for what it offers.'

Its intimate sillage and clean, subtle nature make it highly suitable for office wear without being intrusive. However, some find it "boring," which could limit its appeal for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired. The powdery, non-energetic profile makes it less ideal for sport.

About

Apollonia conjures a delicate, powdery aura with its central orris heart, reminiscent of a crisp, stardust-dusted atmosphere. White florals provide a soft, clean lift, while a gentle musky base anchors the scent, giving it a subtle warmth that evokes fresh laundry or impeccably clean skin. It's an airy, pure composition, ethereal and understated.
