By the editors · 2 min readApricot opens with a soft, sun-warmed stone-fruit sweetness — not jammy or synthetic but close to the real thing, warm-skinned and slightly velvety. Jasmine and ylang-ylang form the floral heart: jasmine indolic and full, ylang-ylang creamy and banana-floral, both richly tropical. Vanilla threads through the heart note itself, not just the base — so by the time sandalwood and benzoin arrive below, the whole fragrance is already deeply sweet and resinous. A warm, enveloping oriental that makes no apologies for its sweetness: an extasy of vanilla-tropical-florals, exactly as advertised.
