by Louis Vuitton
Apogée by Louis Vuitton is a fresh, white floral fragrance centered on lily-of-the-valley, magnolia, and jasmine, lifted by bright citrus notes of orange and tangerine. The scent opens with a crisp, juicy citrus burst followed by a delicate, green floral heart that feels airy and translucent—quite reminiscent of a dew-kissed meadow or a high-quality perfumed soap. The drydown reveals a soft, clean woodiness dominated by sandalwood, guaiac wood, and white musk, giving it a subtle, linen-like finish. While some appreciate its elegance and purity, others find the lily-of-the-valley note overwhelming or artificial, with a few describing it as overly synthetic, soapy, or even air freshener-like. It wears close to the skin, has moderate longevity, and is best suited for day wear in spring and summer. The fragrance is generally regarded as soft, feminine, and unisex-leaning, though its presentation feels commercially polished rather than distinctive or standout.
