Swiss Arabian Amber and Apricot Eau de Parfum
A fruity, sweet 2024 release layering citrus, apricot, fig and pomegranate over a warm amber-musk-vanilla base.
Swiss Arabian Amber and Apricot Eau de Parfum is a fruity oriental for women, launched in 2024, built around orchard fruit and a soft amber-vanilla base. It's a bright, approachable scent aimed at warm-weather wear without losing the brand's signature amber warmth.
What does Amber and Apricot smell like?
It opens on orange, bergamot and lemon, a fresh citrus burst that leads into a fruity heart of apricot, grapes, fig and pomegranate. This combination gives the fragrance a juicy, slightly tart sweetness that feels more orchard-fresh than sugary. The base of amber, musk and vanilla then rounds everything off with a warm, soft finish, keeping the fruit from feeling too light or fleeting.
- Top notes: Orange, Bergamot, Lemon
- Heart notes: Apricot, Grapes, Fig, Pomegranate
- Base notes: Amber, Musk, Vanilla
Performance and when to wear it
Amber and Apricot is typically moderate on skin, with good performance for daytime wear and a gentler presence by evening. Its fresh citrus opening and fruity heart make it well suited to spring and summer, though the amber-vanilla base keeps it wearable when the weather cools too.
Who is it for?
This is a good pick for women who enjoy fruity, feminine scents that lean toward orchard fruit rather than tropical or candy-sweet notes. If you like a citrus opening with a soft amber finish, and want something easy to wear for daytime, Amber and Apricot fits the brief.

AI Review Summary
Synthesised from fragrance data
Amber and Apricot from Swiss Arabian is a genuinely pleasant fruity oriental that earns its name — the apricot, fig and pomegranate heart feels like biting into ripe orchard fruit rather than reaching for a candy bowl, which sets it apart from a lot of sweet feminines in this space. The citrus opening of bergamot, orange and lemon gives it a bright, clean lift before the fruit settles in, and the amber-vanilla base keeps things grounded without tipping into heavy or cloying territory. It wears close to moderate on skin, making it a smart choice for warm-weather days — pack this one for a summer braai or a weekend morning out when you want something effortless and approachable. Women who tend to reach for fruity or gourmand scents but find them too sugary will likely find this hits a comfortable middle ground.
