Un Air d'Apogee

Somehow both airy and deep, Un Air d'Apogée is a perfect warm tobacco fragrance enriched with velvety suede, cedar, labdanum and honey. A shop favorite.

From Maison Violet
Un Air d'Apogée is a discovery, an exception, a phenomenon. Its leathery notes and vibrant mimosa blend elegantly with waxy, warm and aromatic tobacco, and are illuminated by a radiant and generous iris absolute. Brazilian tonka bean lends peppery, spicy and incisive facets to an enveloping and textured base of soft and nourishing honey. A novel fragrance, with an addictive leather-suede accord unlike any other, where tobacco dances a subtle ballet with woody notes, culminating in a multi-dimensional fragrance that defies definition.

Formerly known as Apogée, the perfume originally appeared in 1932 under the direction of Marc-Aaron Rehns. Apogée was one of the last signatures of the House before its first disappearance. Its most notorious form of bottle was that of an Inkwell with a bakelite stopper. In the various advertisements used at the time, peacock feathers were represented.
