Description
Apricot in Cognac by Scents of Wood is a decadent gourmand fragrance that beautifully balances elevated fruits with blonde woods and a sensuous boozy accord. It opens with a sparkling brightness from invigorating juniper berry and juicy citrus notes, which then gracefully transitions into a luscious heart of sweet apricot and airy orange blossom. The composition deepens with a luxurious creaminess from sandalwood, complemented by the rich, nutty complexity of toasted sesame, all grounded by warm benzoin resinoid and an intoxicating cognac accord that lingers on the skin. This scent offers an enveloping satisfaction, feeling both elegant and comforting. Perfumer: Natasha Côté-Mouzannar
