What do reviewers say about Apex and Vetiveria?
Bold citrus-fruity presence that arrives with intent. Apex opens with a pineapple-citrus burst so assertive it commands attention, held by the green backbone of labdanum and oakmoss that doesn't let.Apex
Clean, dry, no sweetness in sight. The vetiver is the point, mineral, slightly smoky, grown in Indonesian soil. This is vetiver, pure and unadulterated.Vetiveria
