Apex

Inspiration
For Apex, Roja gave each key note its own meaning. Mandarin is the symbol of abundance, pineapple brings luck and has been a sign of status for centuries. Fir balsam stands for strength in times of change, frankincense for focus and purification. Leather and sandalwood ground the scent and are meant to give the wearer the confidence to reach the highest point.

The Signature of Apex
In the Parfum concentration the centre of gravity shifts to the base. The eighteen base notes, from galbanum and elemi to labdanum and ambergris, sound fuller and rounder, while the fruity top is shorter but more intense. Rum and tobacco become almost liqueur-like here. The jasmine and cistus heart connects both worlds and keeps the composition from turning angular.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Anyone who knows Apex Eau de Parfum will recognise the character in this 50 ml at once, but closer to the skin and longer-lasting. The pineapple flashes briefly, then the resin takes over and lingers for hours in a golden, smoky circle around you. We find that a single spray on the wrist lasts a whole evening. Ideal for the cold months and formal occasions. Meant for the person who wants to wear Apex more intimately and richly.
