APOM Femme (for her)

 Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Cologne

Notes: Orange flower, Ylang-Ylang, Cedarwood

Orange flower: fresh and sweetish floral note.
Ylang-Ylang: Delightful sweet, heavenly odor. Rich, floral, sweet and narcotic, aphrodisiac & erotic
Virginia Cedarwood: Clean balsamic, woody odor with a pale undertone of sandalwood.

While the note list is not large, I believe that, the notes used in this fragrance are extra grade in their quality and the amounts of each used was the whole key to this. The nose of Francis Kurkdjian is something to be admired while testing and wearing the fragrances that he creates.

APOM (A Part of Me) is interesting, intriguing and powdery. It is soapy and floral, sweet and woody.

The simple yet lovely fragrance is first all orange blossom flower soon joined by the ylang-ylang, making it headier and slightly soapy. The entire composition is grounded by the Virginia Cedarwood but, does not lose the powdery floral. It is as if all three of these notes are now one new note. Yet another sniff of my skin and I can still detect each one. This is lovely, powdery, slightly floral sweet and lightly woody.

The companies official site describes it as:

APOM, "A Part of Me", a bit of one-self to leave with others. A refined vision of the Orient in a deep and capturing Eau de Parfum.
