The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Yellow Apple opens with a vivid fruit profile centered on yellow apple, then widens into a tropical frame. Passion fruit and green apple bring a bright, juicy tension, with the tartness of green apple cutting through the rounder sweetness of passion fruit. Mandarin adds citrus sparkle, while mango brings a soft, golden sweetness to the opening. The fruits overlap rather than sounding separate, creating a fresh, saturated impression that shifts from crisp to mellow. Into that fruit comes a floral heart of gardenia, jasmine, and rose. Gardenia gives the center a creamy floral fullness, jasmine adds a clean, transparent lift, and rose introduces a subtle blush of depth. As the scent wears, sandalwood gives the drydown a smooth, quiet structure.
What makes Yellow Apple worth a closer look is its contrast of fruit and floral textures. Green apple supplies a tart, polished edge, while passion fruit and mango give the opening a generous tropical pulse. Mandarin sharpens the brightness without making it feel clinical, bringing a small flash of citrus over the softer fruit notes. The heart then changes register, moving from juicy refreshment to gardenia, jasmine, and rose, a white-floral sweep that can read airy or softly powdery.
The evolution
The first impression is vivid and almost edible: passion fruit and mango lend a warm tropical gloss, while green apple and mandarin keep the brightness sharp around the edges. That fruitiness doesn't vanish. It softens as gardenia, jasmine, and rose move forward, changing the scent from something juicy into something polished and floral. The white flowers give the middle its powdery air, with jasmine adding a clean, transparent lift and gardenia creating a soft, rounded center. Rose introduces a light floral warmth without overpowering the fruit. Eventually, the bright fruit recedes and sandalwood becomes the steadier presence. What remains feels smoother and more skin-like, as though the opening fruit has been pressed into a clean floral hand cream. The lasting impression is warmer and quieter than the opening, with a soft fruit-and-floral memory that lingers close to the skin.
Cultural impact
Yellow Apple connects with a fragrance culture in which scent can be chosen through an image, a mood, or a distinct note profile. Its yellow-apple idea is supported by a composition that moves between crisp green fruit, tropical sweetness, mandarin brightness, white florals, rose, and sandalwood. The result is approachable without feeling one-dimensional, offering a colorful entry point into the brand's wider world of fruit-and-floral fragrances.

The Creator
Pedro Gutierrez MaresThe clearest signature in the available material is rose treated with refinement and weight. In Nariz, the rose reads as elegant and adds density to the scent while preserving the character of the original during the drydown.
