Apricot Bloom

Apricot Bloom by Good Chemistry delivers a soft, sweet, and fresh fruity floral fragrance with apricot as the dominant note. The composition leans heavily on a gourmand aesthetic, combining apricot with neroli and amber, creating a wearable, clean-appealing scent that feels reminiscent of vintage bath bombs or sweet candy without being cloying. The balance of the notes is gentler than expected, with many users describing it as pleasantly subtle and consistently light—more a soft aura than a bold presence. It lasts moderately well, with some noting 6-hour wear, while others find it fainter. Some appreciate the gentle, powdery floral touch, likening it to nostalgic 90s fragrances like Bora Bora or Mackie, though a few perceive it as artificial or overly sugary, with one describing it as “not the apricot” they expected. The scent is best suited for spring and summer, worn during the day, and performs well on sensitive or fast-absorbing skin, offering a gentle, if not entirely dynamic, sillage. It’s widely praised for being cruelty-free and phalate-free, making it a favored choice for those seeking clean beauty options. However, its lack of sharpness or tartness makes it feel one-dimensional for users seeking complexity or more impactful projection.
