In the second part of the Timeless Nomad Collection, we focus on the two fragrances Apricot Innocence and Kite in Crystal Reef, with which Simone Andreoli shows us two new facets of his olfactory diary after the powerful opening with Criminal Lipstick: the lightness of memory and the longing for freedom. With Apricot Innocence and Kite in Crystal Reef, the Italian perfumer turns to the lighter side of life – childhood, summer, sea and sun – and creates two fragrances that capture the feeling of light-heartedness and new beginnings in very different ways.
Apricot Innocence – The scent of childhood
With Apricot Innocence, Simone Andreoli returns to his own roots. The fragrance is inspired by his childhood, by carefree summers in the countryside, by days when time seemed to stand still and life smelled of sunshine, fruit and the endless feeling of freedom. In his diary, he remembers those carefree afternoons in his grandparents’ orchards, roaming the meadows and picking ripe fruit from the trees. These are moments of innocence in which he saw the world through the eyes of an astonished child.
“Every tree, every flower, every fruit traced the outline of a refuge in nature that carried the most beautiful scent of all: innocence.”
For Apricot Innocence, perfumer Simone Andreoli combined orange, apricot, tropical fruits, osmanthus, rose, jasmine, white musk and ambergris. It is his homage to childlike innocence, the magic of the beginning and all those memories that accompany us throughout our lives with their light and warmth.
What does Apricot Innocence smell like?
Apricot Innocence starts off velvety and fruity with the delicious and authentic nuances of sweet, ripe apricots, accompanied by a fine orange note and tropical accords. Apricot Innocence is soft, cozy and so wonderfully fruity that you just want to let yourself go. Osmanthus and jasmine bring fine, peachy-creamy floral facets into play, which are only too happy to blend into the juicy, fruity, sweet melange. A hint of rose provides a radiant freshness, while ambergris lends the perfume a sunny warmth.
Who is Apricot Innocence made for?
Apricot Innocence is a fragrance that screams summer, radiating joie de vivre, light-heartedness and good humor, just as Simone Andreoli promised us. Ideal for all those who love fruity creations and apricots in particular. The sweetness of the composition should not be underestimated – you should like it. I would classify the presence as medium to strong and the longevity is excellent, as you would expect from a perfume nectar.
When is the best time to wear Apricot Innocence?
A spring and summer fragrance par excellence that immediately puts a smile on your face. It may be a little too present for work, but Apricot Innocence is perfect for everyday life, leisure or going out. A fragrance that brings sunshine, lightness and childhood happiness to the skin – uncomplicated, cheerful and simply beautiful.
Kite in Crystal Reef – Waves of freedom
With Kite in Crystal Reef, Simone Andreoli takes us to the sea. To a place characterized by wind, salt and water. The Nectar fragrance is inspired by kitesurfing over the lush reefs of tropical seas. The water shimmers crystal clear and turquoise. It is the moment when you surrender to the wind and nature – a feeling of absolute freedom. As the perfumer and brand founder himself writes: “I glide over a crystal-clear ground without boundaries, and in the midst of this wild storm I breathe … and find a deep, quiet peace in the chaos.” Andreoli captures this emotion with bergamot, lotus blossom, apple, neroli, aquatic notes, tonka bean, vanilla, cedarwood and ambroxan.
What does Kite in Crystal Reef smell like?
The opening of Kite in Crystal Reef is fresh, aquatic and fruity thanks to turquoise sea notes that combine with tart bergamot and tangy green apple. The lotus blossom underscores the aquatic nuances with its delicate, Asian-style floral facets, while cedarwood and ambroxan add soft, clean and pleasantly warm accents. Tonka bean and vanilla round off the composition with slightly greenish spicy accords reminiscent of hay.
Who is Kite in Crystal Reef suitable for?
Simone Andreoli’s perfume is a summery, sun-drenched mix of aquatic, fruity and floral-creamy notes that is gentle, cozy and calm. Not a typical marine fragrance, not a stormy, maritime creation, but a finely balanced, well-balanced freshie that makes you long for turquoise-blue tropical waters.
When is the best time to wear kites in Crystal Reef?
Kite in Crystal Reef is a fragrance for every occasion, which I see more in the warmer season. Ideal for those who prefer aquatic, creamy-sweet perfumes with a good presence and excellent longevity. A creation that beautifully translates serenity, the vastness of the sea and the freedom of summer into olfactory terms.
