Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

This scent brings associations with something bitter and heavy. It's truly unusual, but there's something overwhelming about it. The beauty of its femininity gets lost among alcoholic notes that seem to drag you into an abyss. The apple nuances, it would seem, should bring freshness, but instead they create a feeling of BOREDOM
5/5
5
Kilian really knows how to surprise! This scent truly captures the feeling of something that isn't in its notes, but that's so vividly present in the name. Like apple cider just poured from a barrel, fresh and cool. Absolutely nailed it! I really loved it, truly delicious and memorable )
4/5

No apples at all in this scent, but it surprisingly nails the smell of strong booze. Reminds me of bourbon, and if I let someone who's not into perfumes smell it, they'd totally think it's some kind of alcoholic cocktail! 🍹
3/5
3
Alcohol, vanilla, and wood, and the apples are barely noticeable, more like wax with peel. It seems nice, but I don't want to sniff it. The fragrance is clearly overrated, not worth its money 😒
3/5

The smell of kvass, that's what I'm getting. This apple brandy really surprised me. The scent is genuinely boozy, but I'm not sure I could wear it out in public. It's just too realistic to be comfortable 🍏
3/5

There's no hint of apple or alcohol here, and absolutely no cider. Champagne isn't noticeable either. Mostly, just vanilla on woody notes and nothing else!!!
4/5
4
It smells like cider. Honestly, I didn't think it would be like this, but in the drydown, it becomes simple, turning into some cloying sweetness. Overall, the fragrance surprised me. I can't say I liked it, but it was interesting to try it 😔
3/5
3
The scent reminds me of a champagne cork, that woody-sour kind of smell. This fragrance is versatile, suitable for both men and women. Longevity is average, and there's almost no sillage. For a brand like this, it's a bit too simple, in my opinion 😕
5/5
5
This fragrance blows your mind! Smells like autumn leaves and fresh apples. Alcohol is almost inaudible. A unique deep autumn smell, reminiscent of earth and nature. I'm sure everyone will notice and not pass by
4/5
4
The scent is really strange, soft, and not intrusive at all, which is a pleasant surprise. The woody notes create an interesting background, as if you're in a forest where apples are lying nearby. There's a bit of acidity, but it doesn't dominate; rather, it adds a touch of mystery. You don't really smell any alcohol here, it's like it's hiding in the shadows 🤔
4/5
4
The fragrance is really interesting and soft, it doesn't overwhelm or cause any aversion. The woody notes create a cozy atmosphere, like you're in an old wine cellar with apples. There's a slight tartness, but it doesn't dominate. You can't smell any alcohol here, so you won't mistake it for something strong. Overall, a very pleasant and unobtrusive scent
5/5
5
The scent is like opening a barrel that used to hold premium alcohol! The wood, infused with the scent, is just mesmerizing. Spiciness and richness - absolutely! And, I think, there's a hint of steeped oak bark in the scent. It's amazing how these notes can blend together!!!
5/5
5
The composition consists of smoky accents intertwined with notes of oak barrel, white cedar, and labdanum, as well as alcohol and vanilla. The scent is sweetish, viscous, it evokes a sense of mystery
4/5
4
This fragrance definitely sparks interest. It'll develop much better on a man than on a woman. Reminds me of something warm and strong, like a sip of brandy. Can't say it's beautiful, but there's something captivating about it 🍏
4/5
4
The scent is really interesting with notes of alcohol, but I wouldn't dare wear it, it's just not for me. It reminds me of apple cider, so bright and rich. It has good longevity, and the sillage is noticeable too
