APSU

In Mesopotamian mythology, Apsu is the vast body of fresh water beneath the earth. ULRICH LANG NEW YORK APSU translates that idea into a watery green morning, without the blue bottle and sporty character.

Green leaves and bergamot act like wet grass under the first light. Coriander, violet leaf, and pink pepper bring a crisp, somewhat unusual freshness that might remind one of a crushed unripe banana leaf, but it doesn't become fruity.

White tea, water lily, and iris calm the initial greenness. Jasmine remains airy, and the entire scent behaves more like a clean layer of air on the skin than a dense perfume composition.

White musk and cedar give it body, while frankincense and amber leave a discreet warmth. The sillage is soft and close to the skin, but persistent enough so that the greenness isn't lost after the first wave.

APSU comes as a 100 ml Eau de Toilette, under the creative direction of founder Ulrich Lang. It will suit you if you like wet leaves, white tea, and calm freshness; it won't if you're looking for a marine perfume with strong projection. APSU doesn't smell like bottled water, but like the moment when nature has just awakened.
