Apollonia

Apollonia is a floral for women and men, released by Xerjoff in 2019 with no perfumer credited. The record gives it three notes and no more: white flowers, orris, white musk. What that makes is a powdery iris scent with an unnamed floral wash above it and clean musk beneath, soft-edged with a faint animal warmth at the bottom. There is nothing sweet or fruity anywhere in it. It lasts a long time but projects only moderately, and it suits spring, summer and autumn daytime.
