Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM Eau de Parfum
From
R 4,470.00
APOM. A poetic, mysterious acronym. A carnal eau de parfum with a sensually luminous, radiant, and generous sillage. A Part of Me: a part of yourself that you leave with others, your own personal story that gets told with every wear. An intimate conversation between fragrance and skin, where scents come to life. A floral, aromatic ambery fragrance, APOM unveils an immediately familiar signature. Luminous top notes give way to a soft, floral heart – a skillful balance of aromatic, bursting lavender and addictively generous orange blossom wrapped in a warm and airy sillage. Ylang-ylang lends its sunny accords to vanilla, which unfurls in the comforting embrace of white musks. An intimate fragrance that hugs the contours of both body and personality.

Orange blossom
There are several ways to process the Citrus Aurantium flower. By volatile solvent extraction to obtain the orange blossom absolute, or by steam distillation for the orange blossom oil. But beware, connoisseurs know it well: we don't speak of orange blossom oil but of neroli oil, since the Princess of Nerola, enraptured by its fragrance, brought it into fashion at the time of French king Louis XIV. The absolute is used for middle and base notes, with solar floral overtones, in turn fresh or heady, honeyed and animalic. Neroli oil has much more citrusy and green floral inflections, used in the top and heart notes of a fragrance. It is often associated with the smell of sun-dried sheets and flavored madeleines.
Lavender
Endemic to the Mediterranean basin, it was already highly prized in Roman times to perfume linen, freshen the breath or for its antiseptic properties. Its name comes from lavare, "to wash". For a long time, the south of France was the first producer of Lavandula angustifolia, but today its culture is worldwide. Although it can also be distilled, Francis Kurkdjian prefers to work with lavender absolute obtained by extraction with volatile solvents. Less rising than the oil, its aromatic herbaceous notes, reminiscent of shaving foam as well as sun-warmed hay, are used in the heart and base of a perfume.
Ambery Woody Accord
Accord created by Francis Kurkdjian blending woody cedar notes with a soft amber accord (composed mainly of cistus labdanum and vanilla). A contrasted yet well-balanced accord.
