Un Air D’Apogée is a great take on a tobacco scent. It has some similarities to Sketch, with an iris-y core, but Un Air D’Apogée is sharper and less sweet overall.
What sets this apart is the aromatic and sharp nature of the tobacco; more in the direction of Ciro Columbine or a bit of Roja Parfums Manhattan, but brighter in the drydown.
It’s tobacco and it opens sweet, but it doesn’t evolve into sweet and warm; it stays bright, aromatic and sparkling.
