Xerjoff's Moon Landing
A cashmere-soft fragrance,a clean floral that's crisp yet comforting,Apollonia from Xerjoff (the only one of this particular genre of the brand) represents the perfect musky floral scent,the one way journey to the moon in a silver metallic rocket.

The opening of Apollonia belongs to the powdery notes,which appear for something more elegant,to introduce a creamy, intense scent which envelops the skin and lasts you through the night,white petals mingling with purple touches of orris surrounded by a white musk cloud of sensuality. The fragrance is so delicate and unexpected,so incredibly addictive and seductive it can create the image of the moon surface,the feeling it induces being exactly like the first steps taken by an astronaut in the space.

Apollonia is perfection,a lingering unique scent perfect for daytime wear,leading seamlessly into night.

Apollonia is unisex,although the notes do not mention that. The white florals and the musky powdery allure of the fragrance might indicate to a feminine wearer,but there's no way Apollonia is JUST feminine. Everything about this fragrance talks about sensuality,and this atribute is perfectly fit for every gender. Because that is what Apollonia represents, seductiveness in a bottle.
Enjoy!!!!

A Piece Of Spring Sunshine.
Apollonia is a one of a kind.
---
Its a crisp, cloudy, full moon spring night. You are wandering through the tall grass, surrounded by beautiful white flowers. Ahead of you lies a vast patch of blooming flowers, a bottle of white wine sat amongst them. The crisp touch of the white wine fills the air and envelops your senses along with a slew of soft white musk and florals. A beautiful, airy scent lays peacefully on you, as you drift off, tipsy, and euphoric. The elegant light of the moon washing down upon you
---
Apollonia is a one of a kind type of floral skin scent. Its a soft, crisp, floral fragrances that is unbelievably refined. I've never been fond of Xerjoff as I find their work usually to be boring, but Apollonia has such a beautiful touch.

Excellent work from Xerjoff.

White flowers
From the beginning till the end a huge field of white flowers. It’s sweet, milky, thic and most and mainly white flowers. It’s a flawless flower perfume that delivers. The bottle is outstanding and the blending like known from Xerjoff is sublime. I would recommend this perfume to anyone that likes flowers and mainly likes white flowers.

Asteroid Rest
The iris tone of Apollonia is earthy, dusty, but not too dry. Almost mineral, coupled with a wood and sand impression. At first this seems tart, but gradually exudes a great overall calmness as it develops. Reminds me a bit of beige-grey ambrette scents, more tart, classy and without the sythtetic warm undertone that many dislike about ambrette. So actually much nicer. A lunar surface, but neither cold, nor dreary, but dreamy and free-flowing in the great calm and vastness of space. The matter floats.

It is for me an introverted fragrance, a new skin, a woody papery glow as if through a telescope into the distance that the scent gives me. Something through which one is far away from the petty errors and turmoil of earth reality.

In the end, the fragrance is upside down with me: the pleasant light-grey musk becomes slightly citrusy, like a reflection of a top note that didn't exist at all. Instead, we experienced the return to dusty-rocky earth powder of iris and a dull touch of white flowers already at the beginning.

All of this takes a bit of imagination, because the scent is quiet and it's easy to miss how it can seize you and carry you away into the gray-white otherworld matter that bears the name of an asteroid.

From Odyssey in Space to Interstellar
When I test scents, I inevitably see images - in my mind's eye, of course. And that is actually without exception so.
With my first son this kind of "synaesthesia" became apparent at an early age; already as a young boy he assigned certain colours to numbers, for example. This etc. I find topics extremely exciting, without being particularly esoteric.

At the Apollonia the pictures were so strong that I took the opportunity to write my first correct comment. I also especially like the story (or rather the idea) behind the Apollonia.
And as a lunar and science fiction lover in general, all senses and needs are served and fulfilled by this complete package without exception: from marketing to the bottle - which reminds me of the moon's surface as well as of a small rocket.

Olfactorically it is for me more a journey around the moon than to it, in something like this: first the first step on the moon surface - swirling up moon dust, cool, dry, matt. Almost silvery metallic. Then the exploration of the surface in cold white light with a short excursion to the dark side of the moon. Monochrome powderiness, there is complete silence.
At the end of the journey the impressions remain pastel and creamy.

This also corresponds as far as possible to the fragrance pyramid: in the beginning, the white flowering plants turn up briefly, but they quickly become quieter/duller. Then the fragrance becomes more and more powdery, finally creamy. m
The iris could be more present for me as a big fan of the iris, but it is quite perceptible. In the middle part something cereal-like/floury is added, but this will soon go away. Then a note like Patchouli flashes through every now and then, which probably creates the dark.

I also smell the similarity to the Narcisos, mMn most of all to "For Her EdT", but also to the Iris Celadon, as already mentioned elsewhere. But I think it's difficult to create something really independent/innovative with all the scents that there are in the scented sky (you could also call it abundance). Similar to music.

All in all, Apollonia is a rather quiet fragrance, which nevertheless remains. The aspect moon/space is in any case well realized with it.
I have tested so far on only skin.
And similar to the Panthea Iris, which I am currently discovering for myself, this is certainly a polarizing scent and may not be easy in some places, but I find it very attractive.

Oh yes, actually writing comments is not so "my thing", because my scent impressions are subject to a constant change/coarse fluctuations and so it can be that I read my own notes a while later and nothing agrees anymore. And such a comment defines so, is usually much more complex and there would be this "mirage" all the bigger, at least in places.
But now I am very excited myself about how I will perceive the scent later.

In the opening, you get buttery iris and white musk, clean, smooth, velvety, powdery. The white blossoms give some freshness to the scent.

Fatty white musk. Keeps on blooming after a deceptively simple first impression.

A rather linear, smooth and powdery, musky earthy-floral Spring fragrance, with a cold and metallic floral-green opening. Unisex!

Emperor's New clothes. It's mostly imperceptible. After 10 mins light musk appears, that's all. Get a musc from a perfume supplier instead.

Very clean and floral, musky scent, not intrusive but just simple and clean, for everyday and everybody - leaning more cool than warm.

Powdery clean musk and that's it. Excellent minimalist scent if that's what you're looking for, but it's not for me.

Huge load of Jasmin, then musk and at the background some iris. Quite feminine and somehow a bit like a niche version of CK One Summer
