Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Apogée lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Apogée.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Apogée's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 94% less than Apogée.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: tangerine and orange up top, lily of the valley, magnolia and jasmine in the middle, white musk, guaiac wood and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Louis Vuitton Apogée.

Top

  • tangerine
  • orange

Heart

  • lily of the valley
  • magnolia
  • jasmine

Base

  • white musk
  • guaiac wood
  • sandalwood
Lily-of-the-valley pulled taut over guaiac and musk, dew-bright and clean as freshly cut stems.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 2 twins of Louis Vuitton Apogée we can price, Apogée is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Perfume Parlour Highest Point $83/100ml
