201 Emperor (Apex) is an Extrait de Parfum inspired by Aventus by Creed for Men, rebuilt for clarity, projection, and wear stability.

It opens with an immediate burst of pineapple, bergamot, and black currant for sharp fruit brightness. The middle introduces birch and patchouli for a dry, smoky contrast. The base is structured with oakmoss, cedarwood, and musk, giving a long, clean trail.

The result: a fruity-woody composition that combines freshness and depth. DT-201 Apex delivers the same confident signature — modern, dynamic, and steady — without the markup or myth.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Black Currant, Apple, Pineapple

EXTRAIT DE PARFUM — HOW TO WEAR

  1. Apply to clean, moisturized skin. Fragrance holds significantly longer over hydration unscented body lotion or our unscented body oil The Base underneath makes a real difference.
  2. Hold the bottle 10–15cm (4"-8") from skin. Spray once or twice directly onto pulse points: inner wrists, base of the neck, behind the ears.
  3. Do not rub. Let the mist settle and dry on its own — rubbing breaks down the top notes and shortens the wear.
  4. A few light sprays on fabric — a collar or the inside of a cuff — extends the scent well past the skin wear.
  5. At 35%-45% concentration this is potent. Start with a few sprays and build from there. Less is almost always more. At least 8-12 sprays for longest wear.

Pro tip — Layer with the matching Pure Oil for maximum longevity. Apply the oil to pulse points first, let it absorb for 60 seconds, then spray the Extrait over the top.

PURE OIL — HOW TO WEAR

  1. Roll directly onto pulse points where skin is warm: inner wrists, base of the throat, and behind the knees for a slow-rising trail throughout the day.
  2. Allow 30–60 seconds for the oil to begin absorbing before contact with clothing. Once dry it will not transfer or stain.
  3. Your body heat activates and projects the scent — no need to rub. Friction actually changes the fragrance structure.
  4. Reapply after 4–5 hours to refresh. The 10ml fits in any pocket or bag for easy top-ups on the go.
  5. For maximum depth and longevity, apply the Pure Oil first then spray the matching Extrait de Parfum over the top once the oil has absorbed.

Pro tip — Warmer skin types often find the oil outlasts a spray. Apply to the back of the neck before getting dressed for a scent that builds quietly through the day.
