DKNY Red Delicious (2006)
by Donna Karan

As with real apples, I prefer the green! This 'red' version lives on my skin like any run of the mill cheap fruity floral.

Completely wonderful smelling, fun fragrance. My 13 year old son compliments it (and Be Delicious). Red Delicious is a definite pick-me-up that can be worn day and/or night. It smells airy and juicy, yet classy, and the bottle is adorable. I don't find this scent to be "sexy" or even particularly sensual. The overall smell is what I can describe only as "sparkling" and this must come from the champagne note. The apple note is definitely red apple, like a McIntosh; sweet and juicy. The drydown is dry vanilla bean and soft amber - warm and inviting. This is a fruity fragrance for cozy winter holidays and it makes me think of hot cider and fresh cool air.

This one works better for me than Be Delicious, but it's not one I'd buy for myself.

I gave a review on be delicious and this red delicious is just about identical. Maybe add a few cherries and watermelon, but it is just a typical fruity floral, nothing special. Very boring. There is nothing in it that is offensive, but nothing that would make me want to wear it. Just blah.

it smells and looks like cranberry juice. what can be better than cranberry juice, sometimes? :)

I was really excited about this one. I thought it would be really fruity and juicy and delicious, like Incanto Dream or Fuji Flower from Stacked Style. I was looking forward to juicy red apples and raspberries, like it said in the description. Alas, all I could smell when I sprayed it on my wrist was "watery" notes. I absolutely abhor watery scents. I could not detect any sort of fruit smell, just a lot of water and cleaning chemicals. Eventually that went away, and 2 hours later I could smell that "sensual skin accord." Bascially, that part smelled like someone else's body smell. Not like an armpit smell, it just smelled like someone else's skin. It was really weird, because I smelled the spot where I had sprayed Red Delicious, and instead of perfume it was a tiny little concentrated spot of another person's "odor." Very strange. I covered it up with Alien though :). Anyway, this fragrance is ANYTHING but delicious. What a misnomer.
