Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM EDP

Description

APOM, "A Part Of Me", began in 2009 as a pair of gendered fragrances before Francis Kurkdjian relaunched it in 2024 as a single unisex composition, taking one defining note from each original (ylang-ylang from the feminine version, amber from the masculine) to create a gender-neutral blend.

FAQ

What does APOM smell like?
A warm floral amber: orange blossom and lavender up top, ylang-ylang at the heart, vanilla, amber, and white musk underneath.

Is APOM a men's or women's fragrance?
Neither exclusively. The current version, relaunched in 2024, is a unisex composition blending elements of the original men's and women's APOM.

How long does it last?
Around 6–8 hours with soft-to-moderate sillage.

How does it compare to Baccarat Rouge 540?
APOM is softer and more floral; Baccarat Rouge 540 leans sweeter and more saffron-forward with greater projection.
