This did not work for me in the summer, but in these crisp fall days it’s beautiful!
The opening is like a fall apple (mine is red, though!) straight off the tree with some discreet spices swirling around. Bitter herbs enter and the labdanum hits at full force. Later, the apple comes tiptoeing back, breaking up the denseness of the resins.
It’s one of Zworykina’s great strengths to be able to fit the whole palette from deep and dense to light and delicate in the same fragrance, often at the same time. I have seen it done in different ways in many of her other perfumes, amazing complexity!
And how does she get that natural apple smell??

Also beautiful in the chilly Swedish spring.

Natural perfumery speaks a different language and requires a special approach. It doesn’t always has the exact terms (perfume notes) and relies much more on perception and imagination. So, please don’t look for apples here, but just imagine them instead.
This perfume gives me a couple of pictures from the life of an Apple Orchard as if I had a chance to visit it four times, once in a month, from August till November. Four pictures of the scent are:
August: the scent opens with the freshness of green leaves and the chartreuse shade of yet bitter apples. Joyful and energizing.
September: it flirts with me seducing with its fruity notes. But once I try to catch them, I get nothing but the waxy feeling of an apple skin under my nose.
October: the slight melancholy embraces me with the bitterness of fallen leaves.
November: the time of reflection while sitting next to the open fire with a glass of Calvados.
Apple Orchard is a fruity chypre. On my skin it develops into a woody resinous smell with a bitter undertone, green freshness and just a slight fruity nuance. Very autumnal.
