Amazing fragrance!!!
It is dry, spicy with moderate sweethness. I feel clove from the star (even suspected peper here). This composition is so pleasant to my nose, that, I think, I could die happily sniffing Apercu:)

Love love LOVE this, it is loaded with oakmoss and not sweet, yet there is a deep spiciness to it as well. I have to think that it is pretty good reinterpretation of the original. This is probably the last decent Houbigant scent before the house fell into the hands of yet another company that does not care about the greatness it once had. This house is only a name now, very sad. Get this and Demi-Jour in their original older versions if you love oakmoss. Apercu is a wear everywhere, always proper type of scent, yet it's not like the mass marekt scents of today. A classic!

Apercu is a very classic, very green (oakmoss) chypre. It wears a little 'warmer' than some other green chypres I've tried, probably due to a nice cinnamon note and maybe the sandalwood.
Although it was released relatively recently, it definitely has a vintage feel and, as a result, may not appeal to those who like more modern floral or fruity chypres.
For fans of scents like EL Knowing, the original Jean Louis Scherrer or K de Krizia, Apercu is a must-try.

I'm not sure my sample was the relaunch or the 1925 original. What I smell is a soft, vintage fragrance that is very much a chypre scent. Definitely old-style without seeming dated or old-fashioned.

Aperçu is a perfume you can wear anywhere. Not too strong, yet with good lasting power. Not too sweet, but elegant and unmistakably feminine. Easy to live with, but not so popular that everyone else is wearing it.

The fragrance is dry and spicy over a fresh citrus top note, but has a floral bouquet at the heart. If it were a piece of clothing, it might be a tailored jacket with a sprig of forget-me-not pined to the collar. Its quiet ease is a nice contrast to the overpowering or cloyingly sweet fruity-florals and woody-vanillas that have predominated perfume counters lately.
