The story behind the bottle.
Francis Kurkdjian reimagined APOM for 2024, combining elements from its original male and female iterations into this genderless masterpiece. The fragrance opens with the luminous freshness of orange blossom, leading to the beauty of aromatic lavender before settling into an alluring base of vanillic amber, comforting musk, and sunny ylang-ylang. Inspired by Kurkdjian's visit to Lebanon, APOM captures a sense of flowery amber fougere that is both classic and modern.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the orange blossom top note is bright but fleeting. The base of amber and vanilla develops over time, so this fragrance reads best when worn close to skin rather than diffused across a room.
