Fresh, fruity, and fun…that about sums up the scent of apricot. It is hard to capture this fruity scent in wax form, so we are often found smelling sticky sweet candy smells or notes that are fruity but not really the uniqueness of the apricot fragrance. Apricot is sweet and fruity with a bit of a fuzzy smell to it. There are some apricot fragrances that go for that bitterness that you get from the apricot kernel, but it can be mysterious and smooth instead of offputting. It is really delicious and blends well with other fragrances. We have scoured our notes and have picked these companies with the best apricot scented candles on the market today.

Apotheke

Apricot Red Currant

The fruity and earthy scent of Apricot Red Currant blends juicy pomegranate, fresh grapefruit, redcurrant, and ylang ylang with hints of apricot, sandalwood, and patchouli. Photo credit: Apotheke

This apricot fragrance from Apotheke is more along those lines of the earthiness of apricot, with some beautiful additional fruity fragrances and woods. It is warm and sensual, definitely not sweet. We love the scent throw as the entire fragrance is mesmerizing.

Yankee Candle has come up with another good one with thier Sun-Drenched Apricot Rose fragrance. This is more of a soft rose fragrance with just enough of a real apricot scent shining through. The candle is beautiful and not too in-your-face. While you can’t buy this candle on their website anymore, there are plenty of places you can still find this gem.

Illuminations

French Apricot

The essence of ripe apricot mingles with other juicy stone fruits—peach, nectarine and plum—accented with a twist of lemon zest and an unexpected hint of cedarwood for a velvety and not oversweet fruity candle fragrance. Photo credit: Illuminations

If you are looking for fruity, this French Apricot candle from Illuminations should fit the bill. It is fresh and juicy without being cloyingly sweet. There are several fruits in this fragrance, but the apricot is very distinguishable.
