The note unfolds with a distinctively juicy, ripe apricot character, often possessing a fuzzy, velvety texture that caresses the olfactory senses. It is predominantly sweet, yet can exhibit subtle tart, green, or even slightly resinous nuances depending on its specific molecular iteration and concentration. Initially, it bursts forth with a bright, effervescent quality, akin to a freshly picked fruit, then mellows into a creamy, lactonic warmth. Its projection is moderate to strong, emanating a cheerful aura. As a heart note, it offers sustained sweetness and a lush fruitiness, often evolving to reveal softer, peach-like undertones. While primarily a heart note, its initial brightness can lend it top-note characteristics, carrying through the initial impression with grace and longevity.
