By the editors · 2 min readApricot opens with a fuzzy, lactonic sweetness that feels like sun-warmed skin dusted with sugar. Sandalwood arrives early, its creamy wood folding the fruit into a soft, oily haze where vanilla adds a rounded, edible warmth. Civet slips in underneath, lending a quietly musky growl that keeps the confection from cloying; the effect is apricot leather rather than dessert. Vetiver and myrrh dry the base, injecting cool, earthy root and a wisp of bitter incense smoke that lingers after the fruit retreats. Projection stays close, a skin-borne glow rather than a cloud, perfect for late-summer evenings when you want a whisper of something both velvety and slightly feral.
