DKNY Red Delicious Charmingly Delicious

Feels like i'm walking in the middle of Apple garden.. It's a Beautiful Day....

OK so I just got this in the mail this past weekend. Now, this may seem strange to some of you but it's too feminine for me...and I'm a woman! I guess what I mean is that it doesn't fit my personality. I'm more boho chic (think Erykah Badu, Chrissette Michelle). I bought it because I wanted to challenge myself to step out of my fragrance comfort-zone. I tend to lean towards patchouli and sandalwood type notes or something in a chypre. This apple fragrance is heavy on the rose, man is it heavy on the rose! I don't smell much apple and I smell very little if any vanilla. Violet is hanging in there competitively with the rose as well. I'm sorry its not for me. I'll probably give it to my sister or someone else into these types of fragrances and I'll stick with my fragrance comfort-zone.

Can't tell you disappointed I am with this! From start to dry-down all I smelled was chemicals: Chem-apple, chem-vanilla, etc. Ugh.

For the bottle, NO COMMENT^^ For the no-comment bottle I long threw this sample near the paper bin for I have the impression of another tiresome gourmand sweet thing bra bra... Before it reaches its thrown away I finally spend time to take a look... Oh! My... This is Maurice Roucel@@ And it's no gourmand nor sweet, it's delicious for the delicate honey dropping from violet's lip and the loveable apple, nature and real. I agree all the positive reviews about this frag, not only this is Master Roucel's sweetie but also it's an apple in its beautiful violet-shade dream beyond this mad mad world. Escape from the gourmand domination and reject all those toothache sweetness, dream of a beautiful simplicity after forgetting it is actually in the bottle^^"

Ermmm this version was a bit Britney's Fantasy kind of smell... But not really the same thing. It's fruity, musky-powdery & vanilla. No hint of red apple for my opinion... But still it's great scent for evening wear, cold day, parties, weekend or just having a good day with this scent. Different from the green one, same great projection & longevity. The lil' apple charm that comes with both version was cute when you put them together.
