A few wearings of Apom, then decide
Apom is a perfume from Maison Francis Kurkdjian. We do not have its notes on record, which is one more reason to let your own nose decide. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

On the skin
You will not find top, heart and base notes for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Apom here. They are not on record with us, and guessing is not how we write these pages. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
The status of Apom is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
What you get is Apom in a glass spray vial, 2, 5 or 10 ml, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
For Maison Francis Kurkdjian Apom we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
There is no audience on file for Apom, which leaves it open to anyone curious. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Apom from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Apom, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Apom; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
Maison Francis Kurkdjian, co-founded in Paris in 2009 by the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya, treats perfume as a wardrobe: a set of scents you choose from according to mood. Several exist in two concentrations, and one pair, Gentle Fluidity, uses the same six ingredients for two different results. A wardrobe is something you try on, and with 10 ml decants you can compare an eau de parfum with its extrait on your own skin before deciding.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
