By the editors · 2 min readApollo opens with clary sage — dry, slightly herbal, and clean — before lavender and iris move to the center. The iris adds a cool, rooty powderiness, while violet leaf keeps a green freshness running underneath. It's a familiar aromatic structure, but the proportions feel well-balanced rather than aggressive.
The base brings sandalwood and vetiver together with amber and a mossy note, grounding the lavender accord in warmth without tipping into sweetness. The result is a smooth, slightly earthy dry-down that lingers close to the skin.
Broadly, this is an accessible fresh-aromatic fougère — clean, inoffensive, and suited to warm-weather daytime wear or any context where a light, well-behaved fragrance is the goal.
