Apricot shiro — a 2018 fragrance that needs no introduction.
Brand country — the United Kingdom. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A great perfume doesn't need lengthy explanations — it speaks for itself. The official website of shiro — http://www.forstrangewomen.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Apricot unfolds as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of shiro comes through from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Citrus and Fruit forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a juicy exotic mood: Apricot, Orange and Pear. In this format 3 notes act as one voice, creating thrilling fruity juiciness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Fruit and Citrus.
Overall Apricot reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
