Origin

Apricot Blossom is derived from the flowers of the apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca), typically through headspace technology or reconstitution using aroma chemicals and natural isolates. True essential oil extraction is rare due to the low yield and fragility of the blossoms. Most apricot blossom notes in perfumery are crafted accords designed to mimic the scent of the fresh flowers.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use apricot blossom primarily as a heart note to impart a soft, uplifting floralcy with a hint of fruitiness. It blends well with other floral notes such as cherry blossom, magnolia, and peony, as well as soft musks and light woods. The note is valued for adding a spring-like, luminous quality to feminine and unisex compositions.
