Apricot Bloom

Wow, this whole line of new fragrances sold at Target are too good to be true! And there are so many to choose from. My objective (and budget, although these frags are very reasonable) is to purchase one of each rollerball fragrance every week until I own the whole library. Then after discovering my faves I will graduate to the full size sprays. So far I have purchased Brainiac, Mineral Desert and as of last night, Apricot Bloom. I am not a fruity frag gal as a rule, unless i'm in the mood for a refreshing citrus, but oh my! Apricot Bloom is the perfect blend fruity top notes with my beloved amber lurking within. It is lovely. When I was a child and my mom bought me a much coveted toy, piece of clothing, even a Captain Kangaroo metal lunchbox, I had to sleep with it. Come on, admit it...you did it also! Cut to me at 58 years old doing the same thing with a new fragrance. If I love it, its coming to bed with me!!!! Now, now, get your minds out of the gutter, ha! Next week its Queen Bee!

I appreciate how this house is cruelty-free and vegan so much. I would honestly love to own every perfume from this brand. I bought this one first just because I love sweet gourmands. This smells like cooking apricot jam , it reminds me of a novel scene I read in a book called "Peaches for Father Francis"....hot ripe peaches melting over a stove, a bit of sugar, brown sugar, lemon, & some type of preservative, a dash of cinnamon maybe, and voila! Also it reminds me of Mackie by Bob Mackie, but it's not as sophisticated.

I am so happy to see the Good Chemistry fragrances being picked up here! I'm very proud of Target for creating a fragrance line that--IMO--smells so delicious and exhibits such high quality! I hope Fragrantica adds the rest of the line, cause I LOVED GC's Queen Bee too! I found Apricot Bloom to be juicy, fresh, and sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. The amber balances the fruit and neroli beautifully, and--even on my sponge-like skin that soaks up scent in no time--the sillage and longevity were very decent.

I bought the rollerball years ago at Target and it still holds its scent. It's a very soft fruity, floral fragrance that I don't find to be too candy-like. I agree with the reviewer who said it sits close to the skin. I like that the apricot comes through, it feels different from other fruity fragrances I've tried in that it's not really sharp or tangy. I really enjoy the nature-y scents from Good Chemistry!

This was a like that morphed into a love. It's so easy to wear. Light, inoffensive, clean, fresh, and softly flowery sweet. I will cherish my bottle until it's gone. It's a real bummer it's been discontinued.

I need to use Apricot Bloom a little more to truly appreciate it. It's inoffensive and sits close to the skin, yet it lasts a lot longer than most of my other perfumes. I love amber and have it in many of the fragrances I own, yet I don't quite pick up on it in AB. This is probably not a bad thing, because some fragrances that go heavy on the amber end up being unpleasant. It's sweet but not disgustingly/cloyingly sweet, juicy, and basically a nice, safe, fruity floral. However, it's a little forgettable for me but maybe because I haven't been using it as much as the other ones I bought. I want to use this more just so I can see if apricot notes are for me-- I think the way the notes have been balanced in this fragrance lead to something lovely, wearable, and office-friendly. Would I repurchase it? No. But I think many will like/love it. As mentioned in a different review, I love that this line is cruelty-free and doesn't contain the nasty, harmful chemicals that most all other perfumes have. I'm surprised it's listed as a Vegan perfume. Denatured alcohol is the very first ingredient, which means there's a lot of it in the fragrance. Look up what "Alcohol Denat." is and all the concerns about what it does to the skin. I hope that moving forward, GC will consider using alternatives that will lead to a truly natural/organic fragrance line.

Smells nice but the apricot is only sweet, there is no tartness. More like an apricot candy as someone mentioned. I’m not a fan of citrus scents so I’m glad that the neroli takes a back seat to the apricot. It’s a pleasant, clean, sweet and fresh scent. Reminds me a bit of a 90s bath bomb in a good way. If you are looking for something with a bit more tartness, Demeters Royal Apricot does the trick, and is really nice to layer with this for added longevity and projection.

This smells like a sweet candy that’s very artificial and not at all edible. It’s strong but not enjoyable in the least and doesn’t smell as one might expect

Oh terrible - yuck. I love the smell of apricots but this is not that.

I bought this impulsively at Target this week, after coming across an entire line of "Good Chemistry" brand fragrances in the perfume aisle. I am not disappointed!! Apricot Bloom has a nice, earthy scent about it, almost reminding me of a scent in the same class as my Pacifica Mediterranean Fig perfume...earthy but not pungent or like patchouli or anything that isn't crowd friendly. It is a pretty and light wearing scent--wears fairly close to the skin after about the first hour...but it's been 5 hours, and I still smell it on my wrists. Smells like there is honey in the fragrance as well (maybe it's the amber I smell?)... I just can't stop smelling my wrists!! I am totally impressed with this new line at Target...and the rollerballs are only $12.99, so I will definitely be going back for more :) I liked all 9 scents that I sampled, but my favorites were definitely Apricot Bloom, Vanilla Orchid, and Magnolia Violet... I highly recommend everyone checking these great little rollerballs out! Great deals, and unique scents, I hope they stick around!

This one seems to be very popular, but I have determined that apricot notes in perfume are not really my thing. This reminds me of the sweet floral scents that were popular in the late 80s / early 90s.

APRICOT & NEROLI!!! I don't get amber at all in this one! But it's not your typical fruity/floral. That amber mixed in must give it, it's punch! Last about 6 hours on me!

When I first sprayed this on paper I loved it. It reminded of like sweet tarts. But then I sprayed it on me and I found it to be a bit headache inducing.

This is a nice, reasonable brand of fragrance. It is also made cruelty free and vegan. Nice. I am sure PETA would like this beauty brand of fragrance.

I just tried this at Target but I couldn't smell anything. It was like smelling a bottle of water.

This reminds me of Gucci Bamboo and bubblegum.
