Love Apple

This is such a happy little burst of joy in a bottle. I got both the roll on and the atomizer, and together they’re such a treat. This fragrance somehow manages to be nostalgic and modern at the same time. It has moderate projection and longevity, but for $15 for both, who cares? You can just pop the little roll on bottle in your purse or wallet, and reapply as needed. I am a fragrance collector, and am not shy about dropping $300 for a luxury fragrance if I fall in love with it. No one who smells you wearing Love Apple is probably going to confuse it for high end. But everyone who smells you is going to like what you’re wearing. I’m excited to see what I can layer this with, like Angel’s Share or Eilish. I even think I’m gonna try it over a pumpkin spice scented lotion I have. I’ve read some reviews with a lot of hate for this cute happy little fragrance. I don’t get it. So if you buy it and hate it, please feel free to send it my way. I’ll be happy to take it off your hands for you.

Amazing! Priced at a bargain basement for the roller at some Shisha Pipe and oriental bazaar stores here in Sydney’s Lakemba. Picked this up and a couple of others. Beware of reviews below claiming they can’t smell vanilla or cinnamon. It’s basically a smooth oily vanilla scent (😏) with smooth cinnamon bodying it out a bit. It’s a sharp acidic apple opening for the first 20 minutes and that gradually sweetens. Then during the enormous wafts that follow for about 4 hours you get a bit an apple flesh flittering in and out before it develops into an ambery vanilla. The apple keeping a nice freshness on top of the ambery vanilla. Almost identical to Loree Rodkin Gothic minus the super sweetness and kept fresh with the apple for a substantial time. Absolute must for vanilla/fruit lovers and don’t let your biases get in the way of a purchase. Totally unisex with a slight feminine lean.

I love this. It is less juicy cider-y apple and I can't quite say shampoo-y until I smell an apple scented shampoo and even then it might vary but this is more of a warm apple like the reviewer below stated, some vanilla and slight cinnamon but I appreciate the slightness of the cinnamon because sometimes fragrance manufacturers can get carried away with that scent note. So I would just say "warm/spicy" more then "cinnamon", but a pleasant warm/spicy because fragrance manufacturers can also get carried away with that scent note sometimes as well. The only downside is I wish it lasted longer on the skin. I was sent a two year old bottle so that might have something to do with it. The oil is much more apple-y then the spray but I am macerating it to get the alcohol toned down. The oil only lasts about 45 minutes, that is so sad since it smells really good.

Having loved Soft, Choco Musk, Golden Sand, White Musk, and Fantastic, I don't know why I was surprised when on what was probably the 5th wear, I fell in love with Love Apple. With the exception of Choco Musk, they all took a few wears before their true character emerged. I suppose it's the nature of them being rollerballs and not sprays, so getting oxygen in them takes more time maybe. Or maybe it's that it's finally truly fall where I live. What I do know is when Love Apple transformed from a tart apple, barely-above-a-skin scent into this gorgeous, long-lasting, decadent apple cinnamon pie that I couldn't get enough whiffs of, it was clear that Al-Rehab had performed its magic yet again. I should have trusted the process. Now I need a six-pack of Love Apple rollerballs because I want to wear this all. The. Time.

When I smelled this I immediately knew it reminded me of something. It took me a couple days but I figured out this is reminiscent of Chierosa ‘40 by Sol De Janeiro, the one in the dark pink bottle. It’s fruity but also has a creamy vanilla thing going on. The main difference between them is Love Apple adds a richness and a touch of spice from the cinnamon, while I think the Chierosa ‘40 is more light and airy. I really love this fragrance and I can’t wait to layer those two together. It also layers beautifully with Khamrah: a boozy, spicy apple pie fragrance. Edit: wanted to add I have both the spray and the oil. The oil is by far more special and outstanding than the spray. Recommend skipping that and going for the oil.
