With just enough character to keep it from being boring
Without beating around the bush, it’s an elegant mass-pleaser: almost a blind-safe, with a caveat (which is actually part of its charm): the real stars are orange blossom and ylang-ylang, bright and sunny, crossed by a very controlled, harmless indolic touch. And that’s exactly why I say “blind-safe with a caveat”. Anyone who truly loves indolic perfumes would probably spit in my face . I do smell it clearly, but it doesn’t bother me at all.
I like APOM because it plays with contrasts: it’s sharp and sweet, edgy and creamy, rough and smooth at the same time. It's dual, with a soft, almost skin-like sensuality.
I find A Part of Me feminine and kind of sexy too, I’d say it. I don’t know the Femme version, but honestly this one would be more than enough for me: balanced, luminous, reassuring, with just enough character to keep it from being boring.
