Too sweet for me (sample kindly sent free of charge by MFK). They are really playing it safe nowadays. I can't remember the last time they released anything even slightly challenging. It's prestige blandness for people who aren't very into perfume. This one smells like a Xerjoff sugary oud nightmare with the oud part taken away.
For a fragrance branded as neutral, as much as I don't buy into gendered fragrances, i'd consider this classically feminine, and quite vintage at that.
That said, APOM operns with an almost aldehydic sweet floral bomb, mostly white, but some of the creaminess of yellow.
As it settles, the lavender starts to peek in, noticible but nothing like a masculine blue lavender.
Also coming through is a wave of musky powderiness which carries on throughout.
On my skin, the vanilla isn't overly noticible, and definitely leans cool toned.
A pretty fragrance, that if I had to put a face to, it would be a wealthy older woman.
