Aristocratic Couple

[tarotgirl99]

Bourbon vanilla, preserved apricot, and cardamom.

Not sure why I never reviewed Aristocratic Couple but I rediscovered it today. It's so lovely. Not too fruity, despite the apricot, which is the primary note. It's just rich and feminine and opulent and gorgeous.

It's not as much of a skin scent for me, but if it were, I'd be willing to slather to get many, many huffs.

Lurve.

I purchased this bottle back in 2015, but I didn't review it due to life events, and now, here I am, 11 years later, reviewing the scent.

 

Aristocratic Couple is a delightful apricot scent. I applied my Bourbon Vanilla Hair Gloss yesterday, before I tested this, and it really helped me to isolate that note in this scent: it's a sheer vanilla that has a bit of brightness to it, and isn't floofy or foody whatsoever. I think that note has gained strength as it has aged over the years, but of course, the apricot is the star of the show here. The cardamom, on the other hand -- well, there's really only a light dusting of it. I didn't test them side by side (despite owning both scents), but I agree with another reviewer's comment about this being a cousin to March Hare. March Hare has its sprinkling of clove, and this has its dusting of cardamom, but the both lightly-spiced apricot scents.

 

I am glad I ordered a bottle of this back in the day. I really should wear it more often.
