apple in men's fragrances

I really like the apple note in light fragrances.
Ive tried Lacoste Red and Guess Man. I liked Red and the longevity of the apple was good, but Guess seems to lose the apple note pretty early on when its hot out.
Does anyone have suggestions about other apple fragrances?

thanks

I don't know, apple in men's fragrances tend to go wrong, mainly because most smell so synthetic.

DK's Be Delicious for Men is pretty apple-y, but I'm not a huge fan of this fragrance. The limited "Red Delicious" version, is pretty good actually, but I can't find in stores anymore.

Kenneth Cole Reaction supposedly has apple in it too, but it's a synthetic mess that doesn't really sit right with me.

Boss Bottled (#6) is my favorite scent containing an apple note: it's soft and reminds me more of cooked apples used in desserts rather than fresh apples. It's a wonderful fragrance.

Those are just what I'm most familiar with, but you can always go to the "directory" tab up top, select "masculine" and type "apple" in the note box to get all the apple frags in Basenotes' directory.

Diesel Plus Plus Masculine
Dunhill Desire For a Man

If you don't mind wearing a scent marketed to females I would highly recommend D&G Light Blue pour femme.

Good Luck & Happy Sniffing!

If you can find it, Nautilus' Black Marlin is an interesting apple marine oriental scent.

Amouage Cirrus has a very dry apple note which gives the ozonic quality.
Chevignon EDT has a very warm "apple pie" type note which I love.

I get a lot of apple from the original Tommy Hilfiger. A lot of people give negative reviews to Kenneth Cole Reaction, but it's one of those that I absolutely love. It's a great watermelon/green apple opening that's noticeable throughout, & dries down to a very pleasant fruity & musky scent. Love it!!!

What about Adam, (stupid name) from Joop is apple extreme......I´m surprised nobody has mentioned it so far. The female version All About Eve perhaps also contains apple, but I am not certain.
Also, The Good Life - Davidoff. I remember that the two were released at the same time and it became almost an apple arms race !

I didn't know CS had apple...I always thought it was more of a guava-centric scent. I have heard good things about it from others also.

Checkout eBay now. All of sudden, there are quite a few available. And since it is not very popular, you can get lucky and get one at ridiculously low price.

Le Dandy is a whiskey note in it, but to me it definitely smells like apple. Amazing stuff, try at Nordstroms (at least in Chicago).
