Un Air d'Apogee
Somehow both airy and deep, Un Air d'Apogée is a perfect warm tobacco fragrance enriched with velvety suede, cedar, labdanum and honey. A shop favorite.
From Maison Violet
Un Air d'Apogée is a discovery, an exception, a phenomenon. Its leathery notes and vibrant mimosa blend elegantly with waxy, warm and aromatic tobacco, and are illuminated by a radiant and generous iris absolute. Brazilian tonka bean lends peppery, spicy and incisive facets to an enveloping and textured base of soft and nourishing honey. A novel fragrance, with an addictive leather-suede accord unlike any other, where tobacco dances a subtle ballet with woody notes, culminating in a multi-dimensional fragrance that defies definition.
Formerly known as Apogée, the perfume originally appeared in 1932 under the direction of Marc-Aaron Rehns. Apogée was one of the last signatures of the House before its first disappearance. Its most notorious form of bottle was that of an Inkwell with a bakelite stopper. In the various advertisements used at the time, peacock feathers were represented.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Blind sampled this and oh. my. word. I have since purchased the 100 mil and this will become a new staple.
This is amazing, just got the samples, look forward to wearing it to work to test out longevity.
This is 🔥
I’ve been contemplating blind buying this for quite some time now and for whatever reason I hadn’t pulled the trigger. I finally did, & not the sample but the full presentation. Let’s just say I’m like 18 for 20 in blind buying 🫣 this is amazing.
When I purchased this 5 days ago there were 6 75ml available. As I write this review they don’t even have samples in stock. Guess my timing was impeccable 👌🏽 this will most definitely be gate kept my me😂
I’m in love with this scent
I have collection of 300 different scents and this one got my attention with the first use❤️
