Hi :

I shared this point-in-the-right-direction before helping a client with

a apricot/peach doppelganger, taking her to the culmination of the

project (very successful). You need to experiment and find the right

mod to fit what you're looking for. Notes of both these related fruits

(hint: rose family) can be found in other families in the plant world:

osmanthus abs

boronia abs

jasmine grandi abs

linden blossom abs

black currant bud abs

carnation abs

orange blossom water abs

roman chamomile eo

coriander seed eo

black caraway eo

sweet orange oil

orris root butter/eo

petitgrain bigararde eo

rose otto

ylang ylang abs

natural benzaldehyde (1%)

The apricot would have less boronia and carnation perhaps, the peach

more boronia and obw abs for lift and sweetness. I'd suggest diluting

all of them to 10% to open them up and save money when you do your mods.

I've created very successful peach and apricot accords, which are very

girly-girly (read: immature) smelling, and will perhaps some day use

them in a complex, true perfume, such as a peach-chypre.

Of course, tincture freeze-dried apricots in alcohol for a base!

PS: I swear the boxes and bottles are going out Monday - after my

birthday and launching new online course module - it's a busy

weekend/month/quarter!
