I don’t get it. Jacques Cavallier is a perfumer I admire for making uncomplicated scents, yet he pulled this off. I blind-tested it, and while the Louis Vuitton bias might have skewed me with their exclusive 220-euro line (or even the 400-euro ones), I tried to ignore my cheapo prejudices. They mentioned it took years to develop and it’s their debut. The result was a disaster: at first, it smelled like ‘Casa y Jardín’ insecticide with roses, just like my grandmother’s fly spray—nothing ethereal. For hours, I only noticed flat, boring roses with a soapy, spicy aldehydic touch. I checked the notes online: leather, jasmine, narcissus, musk, magnolia, and apricot… but it smells like none of them. No leather, no narcissus, no magnolia. Just an ethereal, watery rose that’s tedious and slow. The only similarity is an apricot that smells like balsamic olive oil. Poor quality, an expensive chemical mist that Elizabeth Arden would sell for 30 euros. Another example of the garbage niche houses sell.

I tested this fragrance yesterday along with two others from the same line; all were very good. This one, unlike Mille Feux, feels more fruity, giving it a more feminine touch. The leather scent is nice, as is the trail and longevity. However, I still think Apogee is magnificent. I give both this and Mille Feux a 9.

I walked into the boutique with high expectations and wasn’t disappointed; all seven fragrances are great, but this is my favorite. It’s a very clean, juicy leather where you can detect the geranium and musk, which give it smoothness and a very masculine elegance, yet it turns out to be tremendously feminine. The floral notes complement the blend beautifully. Honestly, I really like Louis Vuitton’s foray into perfumery; they did it very well.
