Happy Friday and happy National Apricot Day! Birthdays: Carrie Chapman Catt, Simone de Beauvoir, Joan Baez. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with an apricot note, if you have one.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
Still copying the rest of you, in Serge Lutens Daim Blond.
Reminder: 1/16 is National Nothing Day. Take a break and wear what you want.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2026, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

That tart looks great!
SNAFU in Ukraine – pouring rain in the evening, a sudden drop in temperatures at night, snow today. And, of course, new Russian attacks. The result: lots of people without electricity, water, and heating, icy roads, and recommendations not to go outside. I feel privileged to have everything working and not be required to go out, but I feel awful for others.
I am wearing Narcotica Dulce Diablo, featuring both apricot and dried apricot. Among other notes are chocolate, cacao, rum, and cognac. The result is boozy chocolate with apricot. It reminds me of the chocolate with dried apricot filling I used to buy. A fun gourmand for lovers of sweet, boozy perfumes.
Your sotd sounds delicious, Glannys.
I am so sorry for all the hardships experienced in your country throughout this senseless conflict.
Thank you!
I too apologize for the barbaric cruelty inflicted by the bully next door, Glannys. May it end soon. I’m glad you are safe and can distract yourself, even momentarily, with us and with the joys of perfume.
Your SOTD sounds delish and reminds me of the large dried apricots dipped half-moon-like in milk chocolate that I see luscious pictures of online when I buy my plain dried ones. Luckily, I’m pretty immune to chocolate in most forms and prefer my ‘cots au naturel.
Thank you!
The candy I had in mind is different from whole dried apricots dipped in chocolate. It’s more like minced or finely chopped dried apricots mixed with walnuts, pressed into an oval shape, and then coated in chocolate. I actually found a couple of pictures online:

Those actually look good to me. The word ‘sweetmeat’ comes to mind.
Yum, save some for me!
Wow your scent sounds delicious!
The rest of it…ugh. So glad you have power.
And here I am complaining about our weird weather which somewhat mirrors yours, when I don’t have to worry about attacks like you do. I’m so sorry you have to endure that, and I pray for your safety and that of your people every day. 🤗 . On a happier note, your scent sounds absolutely delicious, every single note! 😋
In Ukraine’s harsh winter I feel for people without heating, to me no electricity is not that bad I remember outages when growing up in France. Glad you’re not affected Glannys, very nice of you to think of others not so lucky.
I am afraid that even if you have central heating and hot water (which isn’t always the case when there’s no power), having no electricity is still pretty bad for fully electric homes. No lights, elevators not working, no cooking (some people bought small portable gas stoves; others get by with food thermoses). But the worst thing is that the water supply requires electric pumps, and generators aren’t always available. This means no running water (cold or hot) and no toilet flushing.
And some people work from home.
I was quite angry when I heard about the latest attacks in Ukraine. Can’t say much more than that, b/c comment policy.
Hello and tgif!
Sotd is my winter apricot, La Panthère Parfum. I may not own a fur coat but this feels like wearing one, an expensive one.
Ran out of milk so my morning latte is made with heavy cream. I also sweetened it with vanilla syrup. Delicious but felt so so guilty afterwards, even more so than my occsaional morning affogato. Salad for lunch, I promise!
I have the Eau Légère version, It’s the kind of scent that makes you feel polished and super chic all at once
…and I always feel this needs to be “Panthère!” One exclamation mark at the least,
Happy Friday, all 🌹
It was 62F when I got up this morning, the temperature is supposed to drop 20* degrees by this afternoon. There was a loud thunderstorm overnight. Crazy!
I am wearing good ol’ Boucheron for women, a big kitchen sink perfume that I can often count on to come through for the CP. It’s a good one to apply heavily when you don’t have to go anywhere, I like to try and parse some of the many notes. I can’t smell the apricot.
That tart looks delightful. Apricot pie was my dad’s favorite.
you smell quite glam, ringthing! I can never tease out individual ingredients in that original Boucheron either, except perhaps the woods that roll in later. It is definitely a ‘big’ perfume.
I appreciate the marigold, which I do smell right away.
Boucheron has so many memories for me. I have never owned it but my father tried to buy it for me on more than one occasion and always said no. Lol I was really young and everyone was wearing Calvin Klein perfumes. Regrets!
We had thunderstorms too!
Snow tomorrow… lol.
Weather whiplash!
I took the easy route CSP Vanille Abricot, the vintage in the aluminum canister — I bought a glass backup bottle a couple of years ago and it’s decent but I prefer the old stuff, which has more character. I bolstered it with a light slathering of B&BW Peach Bellini body cream because it’s been pretty dry for the last week or so, but that’s winter on the east coast for you.
Hi Twin! We smell good!
I am wearing Dame Perfumery Soliflore Osmanthus for the CP.
On my second cup of coffee and a slice of peach pie.
Happy Friday! 🌻
Yum to the peach pie!
Happy Friday 🌻
👋🏻
It all sounds delicious
😊
Happy Friday back.
Thank you, Aurora!
Late, but Happy Friday back atcha!
Thank you, Jalapeno! 🌻
I chose L’Artisan’s Cœur de Vetiver Sacre which, allegedly, has a dried apricot note. This was one of the first bottles I bought after falling down the rabbit hole, and definitely the first ever from a non-department-store brand. It wasn’t a blind buy — I definitely discovered it through sampling — but I think I must be anosmic to nearly everything in it. There’s a long lovely list of notes for it on fragrantica, but pretty much all I get is vetiver, and maybe a hint of orris. Here’s the full list — doesn’t it sound gorgeous? “bergamot, orange, black tea, pepper, ginger, coriander, saffron, dates, dried apricot, incense, osmanthus, rose, iris, vanilla, vetiver, tarragon, sandalwood, white cedar, guaiac wood, amber, tonka , labdanum, castoreum and musk.”
Oh goodness, SheriG. I didn’t get most of those notes either when I sampled it years ago. And I would have liked to. I think our noses must think alike.
Good to know it’s not just me! And based on your comments about roses below, we agree on that as well — roses are best for me when they’re dark and mysterious. Have you ever sampled Soivohle Paracelsus? Deeeeeep rose with cocoa and dark patchouli. Makes my eyes roll back in my head. 🥀
That’s quite a list! I love tarragon as a perfume note. It’s weird and too bad that the notes don’t appear to be very noticeable from what you’ve said.
I know — that long a list of notes usually signals an old-school perfume, but on me at least this is very light and linear.
I never came across any heavy hitters in the L’Artisan fold. Rose Anonyme is my favorite of theirs.
As many other folks, I went with a roundabout way, and I’m wearing LVNEA La Serpentine, an all natural perfume featuring a streak of osmanthus slithering through the formula, with a honeyed, earthy chypre base bringing out the fruity, apricot notes in it.
Lovely description, akimon. I love your use of “slithering” to describe perfume and it makes me want to try some LVYNEA scents. I have only read good things.
Ditto to what DeniseH said, great description, and it sounds wonderful. I believe you have mentioned and before, right? Was it Ghost Pine?
You have earned yourself an enabler pin 🌟 since I have their website open right now, and a sample set will be on its way to me. 😊
I’m always happy to bring another person into the dark fold of LVNEA scents..! Hope you will find something you love among the samples.
The folks at LVNEA are so nice!
Ghost Pine might have been me, during the Great Forest Quest. I ordered the oil version of Ghost Pine and discovered it’s an amazingly good base for LVNEA Holy Oak EDP.
Of course, it was you! Now I know why that rang a bell – we have been on parallel Great Forest Quests, but I haven’t found mine yet. Thanks for the reminder; I’ll try it.
I was just thinking, I should go back to Pineward and check out the new ones there. It’s been a while since I tried any, so there may be more with potential.
Amouage Journey Woman
It opens with a gorgeous, almost glowing apricot note—The fruitiness isn’t loud or sugary; instead, it feels velvet like. Also some osmanthus and almost like a jasmine tea in there.
This morning I had a dentist appointment—the routine cleaning, bright lights, and that familiar loud ghrrrhrrrhmmm of equipment. Not pleasant but it’s over now.
About to make another coffee, do some cleaning and listening to some Stevie Ray Vaughan
My hockey books have shipped. Will report if it’s worth the hype.
You have inspired me, gonna put on Stevie Ray Vaughan to finish my housework.
He will help 🧹 🧼
Today, as threatened, I have dusted off my bottle of Tauer’s Phi, Une Rose de Kandahar, which prolly has about 3 wearings left. But why was I saving it? This perfume needs to be WORN. Quite gorgeous, and a bit of a misnomer to call it a rose, which only plays a supporting role, thank goodness for me, because I’m not keen on straight ahead rose scents unless they are embroidered with other notes, usually dark ones.
Phi is far from dark, I see it as a shining bright sunshiney light, illuminating everything in its path. I can definitely smell the apricot, especially in the opening. Reading about the other notes really evokes historic Afghanistan to me, which I know from books only, but I happen to be reading Robert Byron’s The Road to Oxiana, about his 1930s travels through Persia and Afghanistan, (highly funny & recommended, especially for historic art and architecture buffs) and his descriptions of lush shaded hills and courtyards (between howling empty deserts), and apricot and walnut groves does indeed evoke this beautiful scent. He said, almost 100 years ago, that the Afghans were passionate about roses and I suppose that has not changed, though much else has, and not for the better.
Sound like a great book!
Thank you for the description of PHI, DeniseH. You have such a way with words and they add another layer of understanding and enjoyment when I wear certain fragrances.
Adding PHI to the must try list.
Pineward Pastoral for the project but it will be showered off by the time I go to school
That sounds wonderful! For anyone else who is curious…
The first elements of the perfume to reach the nose are rich preserves of apricot and blackberry followed by bustling beekeepers boxes bursting with their scents of honey, propolis and beeswax. The late harvest fields and the crows swirling about waft in notes of sweetgrass, fresh cut hay, bran wheat, broom, and oat grains with softer underpinnings of smoky bourbon vetiver, maté tea, and oakmoss.
Thanks, Robin! That description made my head spin (in a good way.)
Didn’t find anything with a peach note, surprisingly. Thought perhaps one of my ebay treasures like Diorama, Joy or Diva might have it, but no. When I first wore Diva, it came across as a predominately honey scent, but the last time I wore it my skin amped up the patch, so now I’m afraid to spray it 😝.
The cp reminded me of bellini champagne cocktails, so I’ve gone with L’Attesa, which doesn’t have peach, but features a great champagne note.
L’Attesa is beautiful and who doesn’t love a champagne note?🥂
Oops, apricot–none of that either!
Ooh, L’Attesa has a champagne note? Will have to try to suss that out next time I wear it.
L’Attesa is so beautiful 😍 you smell wonderful!
Happy Friday! I’m joining pyramus and probably others in CSP Vanille Abricot from the aluminum canister. I don’t normally gravitate to vanilla dominant fragrances or the sweetness of this one but I got this at another of the famous fragrant “garage” sales and have never looked back. It’s beautiful through and through.
You have the have the *most* amazing garage sales – okay, they’re probably at Fumerie or something
The dearly departed Essenza in Seattle😔
♥
I probably have a perfume with apricot in it but don’t have the time to dig for one. Since I have to go to work, I am wearing Infusion d’iris.
Have a good day at work Dawn!
You smell wonderful. Infusion d’Iris is on my mind to wear this weekend.
Again, no apricots, but I figured I would go with a little peach. Isn’t that good for about an 1/8 of a point? SOTD is Coco Noir. One of my favorites in the winter.
I’d give you a whole point because apricots and peaches are closely related (though not as closely as peaches and nectarines). They’re all from the family Rosaceae, which as the name suggests includes roses but also thousands of other species, including plums, almonds, strawberries, blackberries, apples, and pears. Who would have thought!
Wow! There are a lot in that family.
Agree with pyramus, plus, I suspect that in perfume they are even more closely related than IRL, and possibly one and the same.
I am not sure I smell the peach in Coco Noir, but that is what Fragrantica says.
I recall from a class with Victoria of BdJ that in perfumery apricot is peach+citrus, so you’re absolutely right.
That is very interesting. I never knew that. Thank you Aurora!!! I had been wondering how perfumers captured the apricot smell, if it was a molecule or what. It also makes intuitive sense to me as my favorite apricots, the Royal Blenheims, are known for their sweet+ tart taste, just enough acidity in them to keep them from overly bland sweetness. That is also why I love mango, the fruit.
Interesting.
I gave serious thought to wearing a bit of Coco EdP today but found something with apricot in it.
Yes, you did!
I’m joining many of you from this week in wearing Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan today for CP points. Totally hectic week starting this evening with lots of grandchildren fun plus helping oldest son move to a new apt. Gotta run — have a good weekend, everyone.
Adding that I grew up on an orchard (which I know I’ve mentioned before) that happened to have two apricot trees (in with all the cherry and apple trees), and Mom and I used to make apricot pie to have for breakfast in the summer. We made it with very little sugar and served with some yogurt on top. It didn’t look quite as fancy as the tart in the photo above — but it was a little taste of heaven.
And it sounds like it!! I will take a slice right now.
ps have fun with the littles 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
If I bring you the apricots….???😋😋😋
Let’s do it!
🥰🥰🥰
That apricot pie sounds divine. I used to make them as a teenager since we had an apricot tree. I loved them but the bottom crust would get a little soggy. Not that I cared.
😀
And their season always seems so brief…
Enjoy those grandkids, they grow up way, way too fast!
Yes, and I do enjoy them! We already have a trip to the zoo planned.
I’m wearing one of my favourite perfumes that has both apricot and osmanthus notes : Ys-Uzac Lale. It’s not flashy but evokes summer warmth and contentment so is a good holiday scent. Have a happy weekend.
🧡 Your words just gave me a vision of lying in a hammock, drinking an iced apricot tea sweetened with honey. Add some dappled sunshine, too. Ah, what a nice fantasy. Thank you, Kanuka!
Now that sounds tasty 😋
Fortunately someone Chinatown earlier this week. I rarely wear it, but it does have a certain something.
It does!
I’m wearing Indigo Smoke for the CP and kind of muttering to myself, “Why did I never notice this apricot note before?!” It’s very strong actually! How odd, and one of those reasons that these CP’s are fun and educational. I guess it’s because Indigo Smoke does have a lot of other forceful notes including the tea and smoke and incense. The pop of sweetness in the apricot is what lends a sort of balance to those other herbal-bitter-dark aspects.
We’re supposed to have a big weather front come through this afternoon, but my refrigerator is sort of bare so I really should go out to buy a few things. Cat food included! Not that it’s in the fridge, since it’s the dry kind I’m almost out of. My cats get both canned and dry food and you’d’ think they’d be happy to get more of the canned food if I’m out of dry, but oh, no, no one is happy if I disrupt their sacred routines and rituals!
Twins with you, Calypso! Wearing, and thinking, the same thing. I’ve worn Indigo Smoke several times but never got the apricot note until today, because I knew it was there.

This article/ interview with Park Chan Wook was in today’s Guardian if you haven’t seen it. Hope the weather doesn’t bite too hard!
Thanks very much for that! This week there were big interviews published in both the NYTimes and Washington Post about him, also. I guess it’s part of a big PR push now that his film is opening in the US (maybe UK too?)–it’s in maybe two dozen large cities here, and is being talked about as an awards nominee also. I’ve followed him for some time now and knew most of the information in it, but it had two big prize items at the end–his next two film projects, which both sound like they’re likely to go back to being very violent. “Genocidal Organ” is promising, an American project but based on a Japanese sci-fi manga. Oh boy! And here’s the other one:
https://moviehooker.com/news/brigands-of-rattlecreek-news/
A western….sounds interesting!
Yes, those of us with cats know exactly what you mean. Which reminds me, the trough (dry food container) is almost empty. Better go fill it . . . 😻😽😸
I need to dig out my mini of Indigo Smoke! You all have convinced me it’s time.
I think you might like it.
Oh yes. A cat’s routine is pretty much sacrosanct, and they get a little peeved if something throws it off.
I’m with the cats on the sacrosanct thing.
No apricots here. I did the best I could with what I have and I’m wearing Zoologist Hummingbird–apricot-adjacent with cherry, plum, and apple notes. I figure hummingbirds probably help pollinate apricot trees.
Customs still has my package. This morning they asked for a copy (front and back!) of my Social Security card and last year’s 1040. I sent them my SS# but not the card and no tax info. It was a computer-generated request and I am hoping just responding ticks the boxes to release the goods.
Broadening to stone fruit sounds like a plan (& best of luck with Customs)
That is just crazy that they need all that info. I don’t understand what your last year’s 1040 income has to do with buying something from abroad. Or your SSN. Are they just trying to hoover up as much info on everyone as possible? But they already have this info anyway! This is so bizarre to me.
I wore Meraki from Fort and Manle last night for the osmanthus, and I’m still thinking about today. I might start with Un Jardin sur Le Nil, it’s light and doesn’t last long, which gives me time to think about something else for the afternoon 🙂 .
I love that about JslN, it is so cheerful and lovely but it does not hang around all that long.
I joined the PHI group today. I can just make out some apricot in the opening but it’s so well blended in with everything else that it takes some work.
I was just talking about Simone de Beauvoir this week with Ockeghem Teen, who’s doing existentialism in her philosophy course. Her Lit course has been trying to incorporate women (they are reading Frankenstein this semester in addition to Macbeth), so I was hoping they’d work in de Beauvoir with the existentialists in Philosophy, but no dice. Oh well.
Hiya scent twin!
“Trying to incorporate women” made me laugh.
Yeah! But it’s where we are, I guess. She only got Frankenstein because she’s in AP Prep — the normal classes only covered Macbeth, it seems.
Happy Friday lovely scented fragrance lovers!
Sotd Florae Nebula from The Harmonist, from a sample which I so enjoy that it’s on my FB list!
An Amber Floral w/ top notes are Bergamot, Bitter Orange and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Apricot, Bulgarian Rose and Datura; base notes are Vanilla, Musk and Amber.
I’m inspired by the lusciousness of Robin’s photo above, and have ordered both dried apricot and apricot fruit spread to incorporate into some recipes this weekend. A question: if apricot season starts in May in northern hemisphere, why are we celebrating in January?
Sending all good wishes across the world for this special community!
Maybe you could celebrate the first buds on the Californian trees?
🧡
Sounds like you are a bit of a fangirl re: The Harmonist!
I probably have adored more of my two discovery sets from this brand than any other house. That said I do not care for two of their bestsellers – Sun Force and Hypnotizing Fire. I do ♥️♥️♥️ their Moon Glory, Yin Transformation and Florae Nebulae. I also liked very very much but not FB level their Guiding Water, which I wore for last week’s CP.
All the days in May were taken? Or to remind you to eat a few dried apricots? Got me.
SOTD = Jo Malone Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot
On theme with the CP and third wearing if we started last Saturday!
I learned a new word today – “luthier”. This luthier had been collecting wood for the past 30 years to make / fix string instruments. The unthinkable happened with the Palisades / Altadena wildfire a year ago and he lost many of the wood pieces. Anyway, it is a nice and sad story in the gifted article from The New York Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/arts/music/eaton-fire-mario-miralles-violin-cello.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DFA.1UW8.Zm8GWhUSFn3L&smid=nytcore-ios-share
Oh, I know a wonderful luthier – Richard Ash of Folkcraft Instruments. I’ve met him personally and bought my beautiful dulcimer from him. 🎶
How wonderful!
Nice article, thanks.
Indeed! I wish I knew an actual luthier!
As others have mentioned, absolutely bizarre weather here! Yesterday we reached a high of 60 degrees with heavy thunderstorms, 3” of rain in the area, and much flooding. Today the rain stopped, temps dropped to mid-40’s, and the 🌞 is shining now. Tomorrow colder temps down to the 30’s and snow off and on all day. Crazy! I feel for the birds that come to our feeders. ‘Hey, feels like spring. Maybe we should start migrating?’ Then the next day, ‘Phew, it’s still winter. I’m sure glad we stayed!’ 🐧
SOTD for today’s cp is Ghost Deep Night, a deep woodsy rose with lovely peach and apricot mid-notes, a January favorite for me. In addition to the ‘white’ theme I adopt for my fragrances this month, I also follow a corresponding ‘black’ theme since January here tends to be the coldest, longest winter month with very little sun. Deep Night fits this theme, down to its exquisite bottle, a crescent-moon-shaped opaque deep-purple-almost black bottle.❤️
Happy 85th birthday to Joan Baez and happy weekend to all!🥳
Rose + peach or apricot is a very common theme in perfumery, it seems. I didn’t realize this blend was in so many fragrances. I have indeed learned a lot this CP and rescued some of my lovelies from under-use.
Yikes! You’ve had some scary swings in the weather lately!
‘Tis Friday, friends! 🤗 Sampling Trudon 45° and notes are below.
Smells like mead to me though I am not a mead expert sadly. 😉
Head Notes
Bergamot, Accord Honey
Heart Notes
Vanilla Absolute, Georgywood, Madagascar CO2 Vanilla
Base Notes
Benzoin Resin, Natural vanillin
There are as many different varieties of mead as there are perfumes. Still, sparkling, meads with fruit added, meads with spices added, even meads with hops.
If you know the taste of a good honey, you know quite a bit about mead already.
I’m wearing Guerlain Jasmin Bonheur from a sample today. It has apricot, Jasmin, rose and iris.
I don’t smell apricot. I mostly smell Iris and Jasmin. It’s very nice. I think if you are an Iris lover, you would like this. It’s too bad it’s so expensive.
Sounds like Kris should try your SOTD, if she hasn’t already.
None of the notes hung around long. Now it’s just a mix of nondescript smells 😒
Well phooey! Nondescript is not worth $$$$$$.
Haven’t tried it, but I think it is quite expensive.
sotd = Jour d’Hermes
Alas, I combed through the perfume cupboard and found no apricots. Feels odd because that is one of my favorite fruits.
So I am imagining you all smell delicious today.
When I was a baby my parents planted an apricot tree in their backyard, and for many years my mother called me her Little Apricot Blossom. 🧡
😭 OMG. Your apricot tree story has all the feels!
thank you, Jalapeño 🥰 and my younger sister was called Little Cherry Blossom after her tree. 🌸
Smelling beautiful tiffanie.
thank you, lillyjo! 💕 I never tire of Jour.
I bought a 125 ml refill bottle from a discounter a couple of years ago. I plan to wear it and love it for years to come. 😊
That apricot tart does look delicious!
So, when all was said and done, I got a mere dusting of snow that didn’t even cover the grass here. It was gone by lunchtime. OTOH, Colorado Springs, which is roughly 100 miles away from me, got between 10 and 13 inches of snow! That’s more than what some of the ski resorts up in the mountains saw. Crazy.
SOTD = Tauer PHI Une Rose de Kandahar, from The Sample Stash. I get a flash of apricot at the beginning, then a thicc, honeyed rose. Very different from the first sample I had of it, which was all tobacco all the time. Dunno if the perfume changed, or I did.
Fingers crossed more snow will come to your neck of the woods soon. I have blissfully crossed all Tauer off my list years ago because of ambrox, glad you had a better experience this time around.
I think there has been a change in the long term weather pattern here which will start bringing in more precipitation. It’s been frustrating to see that atmospheric river missing Colorado.
Tauer’s perfumes don’t have enough ambrox to annoy me, thankfully!
I hope you get your snow.
Thanks lillyjo.
Frozen red berries and yogurt smoothie
This morning it was Bottega Veneta and it made me feel more elegant even though it was very much a run-of-the-mill day. Tonight I hesitated and almost went for l’Agent but in the end I chose Fendi Asja because it’s my most beautiful perfume with apricot, very noticeable. I also have a full 30ml of the extrait – obtained for a winning bid of £32.77 – but didn’t feel like retrieving it from the balcony chest. I was browsing the prices this evening and they are insane, of course they were beloved scents, most discontinued years and years ago.
Bottega Veneta is so classy, and like you said, elegant.
Fendi should have never discontinued their perfumes.
Isn’t that a shame? I was wondering Lillyjo, do you have or love especially the original Fendi? I have zero experience with it, no recollection. Naturally like Asja highly sought after and steep prices.
Oh Aurora the original Fendi is wonderful. It’s in the same category as Coco or Opium but not spicy. If that makes sense. I don’t have it anymore. Another one I recommend is the original KL by Karl Lagerfeld. For women. Probably my 2 favorite 80s perfumes.
Thank you so much for your answer Lillyjo, very helpful to compare to Coco and Opium, I have them both in vintage version. You are reminding me that I have a little 30ml of KL and I’ve just sprayed some, it is indeed beautiful, quite similar to Krazy Krizia.
