Red 2 (1996)
by Giorgio Beverly Hills

This is a slap in the face for those that like Red and believe this will be at least something similar, but this monstruosity is horrible and a big dissapointment for me.
Fortunately for humankind this "sore to the nose" has been discontinued.

If you like really decadent desserts - things like bananas flambee, berry mousses and rum-poached pears - you must try Red 2; it's like a sumptuosu dessert banquet in a bottle. This is a truly delicious fragrance and it's a shame that it's discontinued; it never seemed to get the attention of its bigger, bolder and spicier sibling Red, but this is a must-try if you enjoy gourmand scents. Unlike Red, which has that 80s "power-perfume" thing going on (albeit in a very lovely way), Red 2 is much more modern in feeling, very sweet yet sophisticated and non-linear in its own way. I'd bet that this fragrance paved the path for many a "dessert" scent that came after. Even the bottle, with its frosty sherbety finish, is stunning. Highly, highly recommended.
