What do reviewers say about Apex and Polo?
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
Polo is not trying to impress anyone. This is a well-built masculine that knows exactly what it is, and has never needed to apologize for being a classic.Polo
