Creating a new gourmand structured with elevated fruits, blonde woods and sensuous booze, Apricot In Cognac explores the indulgent side of nature. Invigorating juniper berry and juicy orange and tangerine heart create a sparkling brightness on top that is met with sweet apricot and airy orange flower. Sandalwood adds a luxurious creaminess that is perfectly complemented by the rich, nutty complexity of toasted sesame. Warm benzoin resinoid and cognac accord grounds the fragrance in an addictively sweet booziness that is good enough to eat.

From Scents of Wood
Apricot in Cognac is the first Scents of Wood fragrance that was created in collaboration with two perfumers: Natasha Côté-Mouzannar and Pascal Gaurin worked together for months to apply the architecture of Plum in Cognac (created by Pascal in 2020) to the original idea of a woody, sesame infused Apricot scent (as imagined by Natasha).

Apricot in Cognac features a star ingredient that has a long history in classic perfumery (the note appears in the composition of both Trésor by Lancôme and Angel by Thierry Mugler) but has rarely been paired with a prominent woody note (in this case, sandalwood).

Apricot is often used to create a sense of lush, ripe freshness. Its scent profile is typically described as creamy and soft with subtle nuances of citrus and floral undertones. This makes apricot a versatile ingredient that can complement a wide range of other notes, from light and airy florals to rich and indulgent gourmands.

FYI
Scents of Wood fragrances use perfumers alcohol that has been aged in wooden barrels, which adds a unique wood character to the scents. Apricot in Cognac uses alcohol aged in a cognac barrel, adding a hint of the liqueur as well.
