The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, APOM Pour Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a fragrance that captures the essence of its creator's journey to Lebanon. The composition opens with an unexpected soapy accord that cleanses and freshens before giving way to the bright citrus notes of orange blossom. This floral heart is balanced by warm amber and woody undertones, creating a scent that feels both intimate and confident. The animalic and sweet elements add depth, making APOM Pour Homme a fragrance that evolves throughout the day.
APOM Pour Homme has a distinctive opening that fades relatively quickly. Apply two sprays to ensure you experience its full evolution from soapy freshness to warm woodsmoke. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a room, making it ideal for daytime wear.
