Love at a young age
I've had it in younger years. I stumbled across CSP in a forum on the WWW and first discovered Vanilla Cannelle. Sometime then also the clearly more popular vanilla Abricot moved in with me. I was in my mid-20s and I loved to wear them. At that age, I thought it went quite well. Vanilla Abricot starts with apricot and ends with classic children's chocolate fragrance. that's nice for a young girl, but perfume I must say today, that's not really :)
Then the Cannelle goes a little bit more in the direction of Christmas bakery. Both fragrances (and certainly many others from this series) are incredibly warm and very comfortable to wear on cold winter days. I had to commute back then and the sweet and cuddly of these fragrances often built me up at this otherwise rather stressful time. Other young girls and colleagues found them mostly really great!

That went on for a while with the CSPs and with me. At some point, however, I separated myself from these sweet scents. I like to remember it, but I don't want to smell it today. A must-have for young girls, especially the vanilla abricot. And children could definitely like it too.

I found the durability to be astonishingly good and also the Sillage was not to be underestimated in my opinion, because I was asked more often about it than about my other perfumes. Always sprayed carefully. Nevertheless, a colleague always wanted to lick me best when I wore vanilla abricot. That was annoying in the long run, which is why I didn't wear it on the job anymore.

All in all a beautiful fragrance for a very specific target group. And as a room spray certainly not to be despised. I let my CSPs move on to other scent cracks back then.

Super dooper sweet apricot
Being such a favourite of many celebrities including, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, the late Brittany Murphy, Ashlee Simpson, Fergie and Nicole Kidman, I felt it was a need to order a sample of this fragrance to see what all the fuss was about.

Vanille Abricot is sweet and vanillary. What you would most likely expect. If you adore the scent of apricots, sweet and juicy on the skin, Vanille Abricot is for you. Unfortunately, despite the fact that I understand all the hype surrounding this particular fragrance, apricot is a note that I find far too sickeningly sweet, even when combined into cooking. The thought of apricot chicken makes me cringe.

There is something very feminine and pretty about this fragrance, however I wouldn't call this sexy, unless a girl in pig-tails, eating an icecream is your definition of sexy.

The scent is very strong, so I'd recommend applying it sparingly or walking through the mist. I made the mistake of applying too liberally when I first received the sample, and almost gagging for the rest of the day.

I agree with the 'walking bakery' references, it does have a very gourmand feel, however to me Vanille Abricot smells more like vanilla icecream balls on freshly sliced apricot.

Hollywood and its stars must really like sweet scents, hence the reason why celebrities themselves release such sweet fragrances. I'm surprised that Comptoir Sud Pacifique hasn't managed to hit my shores in Australia yet. It's such a popular brand all over the world.

Sweet Vanilla and Soft Abricot
Vanille Abricot is definitely a Gourmant Scent. This Fragrance is really delicious, when i put it on, i smell fresh and sweet Fruits like the Papaya and the Apricot. Then it turns into a very sweet,warm and cozy vanilla scent, i also smell burned sugar and some Apricot in the background, reminds me at a yummy summer dessert. The Vanilla smells really good but is not overstated or to powerful. I enjoy to wear this scent but it's nothing unique but a good scent for Vanilla-Lovers.

in the baby assassins' arsenal
After sniffing Comptoir Sud Pacifique’s Vanille Abricot for the first time again in 20 years, I feel like a clever child-villain has dosed me with some sort of pixie-stick poison. They’re skipping away merrily as I sink to the floor, my lungs disintegrating under the assault of Marshallow Meltdown, a bioweapon based on the classic confectionary formula wherein a foam made up of air suspended in a super-saturated liquid sugar mixture is stabilized by gelatin, but in this version, a team of elite evil scientists have whipped in classic plastic 1980s Strawberry shortcake doll parts and expired cans of Del Monte fruit cocktail instead. The resulting vat of goop undergoes a proprietary crystallization process and the lurid glowing shards are then crushed to a dust, which when viewed under a microscope, resembles tiny Barbie-Pink ninja throwing stars. This fatal powder is the preferred method of dispatchment used by tiny assassins who whisper BYE BOOMER as they toodle away. "But I’m GEN X" you gasp weakly as you lose consciousness under the terrible onslaught of the smell.

Subtle and Sweet...
The fragrance is a simple one. Sweet and fruity, but not cloying. It mixes the smell of tart juicy fruits (jackfruit, apricot, papaya) with edible notes of sugared candy and a heavy underlying base of vanilla. It sits on skin very well, blending with your natural aroma to give a sweet, natural scent to warm skin. Almost edible-like sweet and delicious.

Apart from that, it’s simplicity is it’s only drawback. It literally smells like it’s name. Vanilla and apricot. Which isn't a bad thing, as sometimes you want something simple which makes you feel happy. If sweet perfumes and fragrances are your thing, look no further than this to cheer you up, Vanille Abricot is sweet without being cloying or tooth-achingly so. I like it, but I couldn't wear it every day.

It smells like a tin of Danish/butter cookies with just a hint of apricot.
