Apex

Inspiration
Apex revolves around the meaning Roja gives each key note. Red mandarin stands for abundance and a fresh start, pineapple for luck and status, fir balsam for resilience and permanence. Frankincense, one of the oldest spiritual gifts, is meant to purify and focus the mind. Sandalwood sharpens awareness, and leather grounds you and gives the confidence to reach your goals.

The Signature of Apex
Apex connects two worlds that rarely meet: the juicy sunniness of mandarin and pineapple, and a dark forest of fir, juniper, cypress and galbanum. Beneath lies a rich bed of resins, frankincense, labdanum and benzoin, with rum and tobacco as a warm, slightly sweet undercurrent. Ambergris and leather give the whole a smooth, animalic skin. The result feels grand and grounded at once.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We see Apex Eau de Parfum as the accessible entrance to this line: the pineapple and mandarin are clearly noticeable at first, after which it grows ever more forest-like. After an hour or two frankincense and fir dominate, and in the evening a warm mix of leather, tobacco and resin remains. It projects well, so two or three sprays are enough. It comes into its own in autumn, at the office or at dinner. A choice for anyone who wants a fresh opening and still a dark, grown-up drydown.
