Apercu Perfume by Houbigant, Launched in 2000 by Houbigant, Apercu is a classic Chypre fragrance for women. As such it is a warm, spicy scent ideal for cool evenings and intimate gatherings. It opens with rich top notes of neroli, jasmine, bergamot, Amalfi lemon, green notes, and tuberose. There is a hint of spice with the middle notes of cinnamon, geranium, and ylang-ylang. More spiciness with a deep, earthy undertone comes through in the dry down thanks to base notes of clove, patchouli, cassia, sandalwood, oakmoss, and vetiver. This is a long-lasting scent. It will take you through the day and into the night. The sillage is on the heavy side
