Xerjoff Apollonia(100ml)

Product Information

Apollonia is a standout fragrance from the Xerjoff 17/17 Shooting Stars collection. Launched in 2019, it was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The scent is an olfactory tribute to the moon—designed to feel "cold," luminous, and weightless, reflecting the deep space and the pristine lunar surface.Unlike the heavy ouds or ambers Xerjoff is often known for, Apollonia is a masterclass in minimalism and ethereal white florals.The Olfactory ProfileThe fragrance is characterized by a "shimmering" quality, often described as smelling like "white silk" or "stardust."The Opening (The Ascent):The scent begins with a delicate burst of White Flowers. This isn't a tropical or "heavy" floral start; instead, it feels airy, clean, and ozone-like, mimicking the thin atmosphere of space.The Heart (The Lunar Surface):As the florals settle, the heart reveals a prominent Orris (Iris) note. In Apollonia, the iris is handled to emphasize its powdery and root-like facets rather than its earthiness. This creates a "chilled," sophisticated texture that feels like fine-grained moon dust.The Base (The Void):The dry down is a soft, persistent cloud of White Musk. It provides a "skin-but-better" finish that is incredibly clean, slightly sweet, and very smooth. It acts as the anchor that gives the fragrance its remarkable longevity despite its delicate character.Key Fragrance NotesLayerNotesTopWhite FlowersHeartOrris Butter (Iris)BaseWhite MuskCharacter & PresentationThe Vibe: Pure, stoic, and crystalline. It is a "quiet luxury" scent—it doesn't shout, but it leaves an unmistakable impression of elegance and cleanliness.The Flacon: As part of the Shooting Stars collection, the bottle features the signature gold-toned cap and often comes with a certified fragment of a meteorite in the packaging, linking the scent directly to its celestial inspiration.Gender: While marketed as unisex, its soft, powdery floral profile is often embraced by those who enjoy high-end, clean-aesthetic fragrances.Performance & WearabilityLongevity: Surprisingly high for such a delicate scent; it typically lasts 8–10 hours as a close-to-the-skin aura.Best For: Spring and Summer, or as a sophisticated office/signature scent. It performs beautifully in climate-controlled environments and formal daytime settings.
