Apricot Fragrances

The apricot — Prunus armeniaca — traces its origins to the mountain valleys of Central Asia, where it has been cultivated for over 4,000 years. From the Silk Road trading routes that carried it westward to the sun-drenched orchards of Provence and California, the apricot has always been a fruit of warmth and abundance. Its scent is perhaps the most immediately sensuous of all the stone fruits: warm, velvety, slightly honeyed, with a ripe sweetness that is never cloying and a faint almond-like depth from its kernel.

As a fragrance note, Apricot is one of the great workhorses of gourmand and floral-fruity perfumery. Its olfactory profile is warm and richly sweet — a velvety, sun-warmed fruitiness with a honeyed softness and a subtle lactonic (creamy-milky) undertone that gives it remarkable skin-closeness. Apricot adds warmth and sensuality to any composition it touches, softening florals, enriching orientals, and elevating simple fruit blends into something more complex and inviting. It is a note that smells, above all, like pleasure.
