This intimate scent hugs the skin and leaves a lasting impression.
Originally launched as two variations in 2009, APOM has been reimagined as a single, genderless fragrance that celebrates individuality and elegance. Perfect for anyone who wears their perfume as an extension of their personality. A truly unforgettable gift.
