Midnight Orchard

I normally don’t like peach fragrances, yet I like this! It must be the apricot& peach combo. And then the depth of the sandalwood. This is comforting & calming. It’s not juvenile or loud while providing an intimate bubble that radiates in the air. Its silky & smooth while providing an intricate fruity scent that is a nice break from all the black currant/ strawberry/ raspberry fragrances that plague both designer & niche currently. And the fruits are realistic- as if you took the sweetest apricot & peach from volcanic soil lightly macerated but not cooked or barely heated until the tartness was gone. And the pepper oil is in here- real pepper oil because it tickles the back of my nose and throat. It’s in the back / bottom of the fragrance with the sandalwood. The more I sniff my arm the more it begins to irritate my nose and throat. My concern is using up this bottle before the vanilla will have a chance to intensify. This means that I will buy a 2nd bottle just so that it is allowed to mature while I use this bottle. I slept in this last night and woke up still smelling like when I first sprayed before bed. This is not a fragrance you can overspray because it will be a waste. This is designed to give an intimate bubble that scent the air as you move around.

I purchased this perfume today from Ulta and I'm quite the happy woman. This is a wonderfully breezy, light fragrance that opens up with peaches, vanilla and apricot - all well done. This is a perfect perfume year round, but it hits different because we are now in th Springtime in NC and it's warming up. I could wear this mainly as a daytime fragrance and when it gets really hot this summer in the evening. There's a hint of sweetness and I love how the vanilla, musk, peach and apricots all get along. On skin, this warms up with the heat, but on a windy day, you can catch the lovely fragrance floating in the air. I got the travel size, but this perfume is definitely full bottle worthy! I'll let it macerate a bit, as I really want the fruits and vanilla to stand out a bit. All in all, I love this!

I *love* this. It's very gentle, I would go so far as to say it's a skin scent. It's fresh peach with a warm vanilla wood in the far background. It feels fresh to my nose, not that powdery like the accords say above. I don't pick out the pepper specifically, but I tend to like scents with pepper in the notes. Longevity is disappointing, especially for the price, 3 hours in and I have to put my nose to skin to really smell it. It is lovely though, and my favorite of the four from this new house.

This is great! Very fresh with the apricot and peach in the opening, but the dry down is magical- creamy with light vanilla, the fruit hangs around but is a lighter way, well balanced with musk and creamy wood. Not a strong projection but I don’t get the sense that is the intent of this fragrance. Decidedly female leaning, a love!

First sniff had some very ripe fruit that quickly gave way to a heavenly scent. Like JDB noted, this smells like a childhood memory (that I never had) of being slathered with shea butter after a warm bath and snuggling next to my favorite doll and drifting off to happy dreams. It’s nostalgic and comforting.
