Apex Eau Intense

Apex Eau Intense by Roja Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, mandarin, lavender, clary sage and green leaves, moves into rose and pomelo and dries down to cardamom, cut grass, elemi, patchouli, violet leaf and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Green Leaves Crushed stems and fresh leaves. Snappy, sharp and outdoorsy.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Pomelo Giant, mild grapefruit. Watery and refreshing.

Dry-down

Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Cut Grass Exactly what it says. Sharp, wet and nostalgic.
Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
