APOM Homme Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2009

APOM - I wanted you so badly.

And yet you disappoint me. Every time anew. And not even because you are a bad fragrance. You are "my" prime example of completely different expectations based on the fragrance pyramid.

What I expected:
A really fresh citrusy summer scent with a slightly sweet twist

What I got:
A (honey) sweet scent with a citrus-floral twist

It is now idle to discuss whether I myself am to blame for these false expectations or not.
In any case, it is not possible for me to befriend me with this - my expectations so missing fragrance image - although it smells quite not bad.
For me, the fragrance triggers a slightly oppressive sensation (probably by the sweetness), whereby I see the fragrance also not in summer or warmer temperatures, but still most likely in the transitional months.

For me, by the way, APOM knows a clear parallel to Versace's "The Dreamer", if you mentally exchange the orange blossom for the tobacco blossom. (Yes, the Dreamer is still a bit sweeter.)

Too bad, but here are irreconcilable differences and there helps only one thing: divorce!
