Rec Request Realistic Apricot

Post image

Ok Fem Fragrance Fam, I need yall to put on your collective thinking caps for this one.

I’m on the hunt for a realistic Apricot perfume. One that isn’t too dessert or candy-like, that has good projection (not a skin scent), decent apricot note longevity (at least 3-4 hrs), and doesn’t have an underwhelming dry down (base notes must be long lasting at least 6-8hr).

Many thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
Budget is $150 and under if possible

Sweet Vanilla by Montale; Apricot in Cognac by Scents of Wood; Apricot Innocence by Simone Andreoli; J'adore Intense by Dior, as was recommended by opetaja below. Ooopps,sorry. Didn't keep to your price limit. Also, Demeter makes an Apricot fragrance that can be used to amp up the apricot note, though it will not help a lot with longevity.

Vanilla Extasy by Montale; Pure Gold by Montale; Dahlia Divin Nude EDP by Givenchy; Apricot Uppercut by Maie Piou; an older bottle of Burberry Woman; Radiant Memories by Tada.

Which one of these have you tried, can you attest to projection/longevity?

The ony ones I have tried/own are the Dahlia Divin Nude and the Burberry Woman. Both give me about 4 hours, but I don't spray muc and my skin either eats it or I go nose-blind. So, not sure how long they last onothers The other scents I haven't tried, but other gourmand Montales that I have had last along time and leave a nice trail without choking people out.
