Apricot Tart matches its name quite well with its scent. Essentially, you really get a kind of apricot cake here. Do I like it?
I'm not so sure. It's interesting, but somehow I've never been a big fan of apricot, not even in terms of taste. Additionally, there’s a floral note that I personally don’t like very much.
The scent starts off quite authentically with the apricot.
Unfortunately, I still have that typical 1973 feeling that something is bothering me. Overall, I find the brand 1973 super interesting, but especially this line to which Apricot Tart belongs always has something in it that my nose finds disturbing, and I can't quite explain what it is. With other scents, like Cashmere Currant, where the bottle looks completely different, I didn’t have that at all. By the way, I found Cashmere Currant to be really top-notch.
Well, and the apricot has, as mentioned, a bothersome neighbor, as well as a quite well-made cake note. It simply creates this impression of pastry or cake.
I actually like that part quite a bit.
Relatively quickly, I also get floral notes in the development.
Whether those are actually the lily of the valley, I don’t know.
I’m just not familiar enough with that note. In any case, I don’t like the floral touch very much.
Additionally, the scent has a creamy and slightly powdery character.
Over time, as the scent moves into its final phase, it becomes, in my perception, even creamier. It also develops subtle woody undertones. Musk also comes through quite nicely now.
Unisex?
Yes, but I see it a little more on a woman.
Performance?
Completely solid.
