The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Whatever It Takes Kanye West by Apple Beauty captures the essence of rugged confidence with its woody aromatic composition. The fragrance opens with a burst of citrus from lemon and mandarin orange, combined with the freshness of bergamot and elemi, creating an invigorating start. This bright top note gives way to a heart infused with nutmeg and black currant, adding a spicy and fruity depth that cuts through the sweetness. The base notes of patchouli and vanilla provide a warm and earthy foundation, rounding out the composition with a lasting sense of comfort.
One spray is sufficient to capture the bright top notes, but for lasting warmth and comfort, two sprays are recommended. The citrus opening fades quickly, so ensure you layer it early in the day for maximum impact.
