DKNY Red Delicious

I absolutely, positively love this. It's so much sharper and crisper than the green DKNY Be Delicious, and it's a little sweeter and has a more bite to it! I HATE patchouli and if it's in here like the notes say it is; it is quite tolerable. I don't like sharp notes either; and I find this to be amazing. It's just so summery and fresh. The Be Delicious Raspberry Candy Apple is the apple that's supposed to have the coca cola note in it, but this is so reminiscent of opening a can of cold, crisp soda on a hot summer day and quenching your thirst! You cannot go wrong; it's fruity, bright, crisp, clean, and I kid you not, every time I wear it the guys go wild. I step in an elevator at work and everyone asks what I'm wearing. Normally that would put me on alert: it must be too strong. But here I know it's just because I smell fabulous. It's the best apple DKNY has created yet! This perfume's got its own personality. Wear it and "take a bite out of it before it takes a bite out of you" :)

I must point out that the notes on this page *used* to be correct. I have no idea how or why, but the champagne accord has been swapped out for leather, the musk has been swapped out for patchouli, and the red apple has been swapped out for green. "Aldehydic" is no longer listed in the main accords, probably because of the note swap. Red Delicious is, however, indeed a beautiful sweet aldehyde fragrance which perfectly mimics the way champagne tickles one's nose. The lychee and raspberry are so tart and juicy, you almost forget the red apple for a moment. The soft, warm amber-vanilla base reigns in the sweetness and plays up the golden champagne accord from the top notes. The projection is moderate and the staying power on skin is about 4 to 6 hours, while on clothes it can last all day.

One of my old favorites, and the closest thing I had to a signature scent in the mid to late 2000's. I have at least two bottles of it. The apple here is deeper than that in the original, less Granny Smith tart, more, well, red delicious. The vanilla, amber, and leathery notes ground the fruit. Strangely, I don't get much patchouli, and patch is usually a shrill monster on my skin. But this fragrance is too strong for the scorching summers where I live, so I'm surprised at how most think of this as a spring and summer scent. To me, this is pure autumn, when one can feel that darker undertone permeating even the brightest day, and apples are at their juiciest best. It's a shame they discontinued this. Red Delicious is more complex and tastier than the much-praised Be Delicious.

Red Delicious is one of those rare perfumes which make you want to talk to random strangers who are wearing it. A student of mine wore it once and I complimented the receptionist thinking it was her. She gladly said it must be her staple Chloe. Both of us realized a few minutes later it wasn't. We asked my student what perfume she was wearing and found out it was Red Delicious. The website says it smells of apples and I was worried it would be too fruity for my liking. It was fruity at all. It's a sophisticated feminine scent with hint of fresh rose, vanilla and patchouli. Easily one of my favorites !

This one's got a kick to it that was missing in the original Be Delicious. It's more mature than the original and I find it a bit peppery on me atleast. Somehow, it's similar to Gucci Parfum II for me - it's got the same zing! Sweetness of apples, litchis, raspberries and a bit of pepper - it's a wonderful combination and smells absolutely divine. One of my faves from the DKNY Delicious line - more mature than the original Be delicious and more complex than Dkny Fresh blossom which is far more floral than fruity in my opinion. Definitely need to get a new bottle of this one as I've run out! :)

What I get is melon rather than apple, tropical ... all the way. Don't see where the leather comes in (fine by me though). It's my favourite summer-sunshine-feelgood scent. You just have to let it settle for a while as at first spray it's very strong. Longlasting too, I sprayed it at bedtime and still smelled it next morning. As for sillage : I bought it because a woman passing me smelled so great that I asked her what she was wearing. For me it was "must get this". It's "rounder" and sweeter than the green one. PS : review for EDP

This is between like and love for me. I wear it often lately to work, my bottle is about 15 years old. It's not offensive to my fellow office workers (perfume is not allowed) but I think that's because it smells like others have mentioned, a very nice shampoo. It's bright and fresh, fruity and fun. I think between this and Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl I prefer the latter, but only barely. Both are juicy and fun, but DK edges over as far as office-friendly wearability. At least in the Summer.

This is a crisp clean scent with a touch of sweetness, but not the sugary kind of sweetness. At first whiff I notice the green notes, leafy green notes, almost a geranium note, but then after settling for a couple of minutes, you will get the predominately apple notes with a bit of raspberry,a sip of champagne, and a touch of amber. This is a fresh scent that lasts several hours once applied. Sillage is quite good as well.

Just bought this yesturday at the local drug store.. got a 50ml for 19.00 cdn.. so couldn't resist since I already had the original and night. I find it similar to the original, BUT not as flowery. i find it more fruity.. not by much, but theres a difference. I paried this with the Warm harvest Apple (smells like cany apple) body lotion from BBW.. VERY yummy!!! Plus i just like collecting these simple design bottles! ;-)

Really love this fragrance. It makes me simply... delicious. The top notes are simply immaculate. As time goes by, the playful lichi and raspberry scent tones down and becomes this crisp apple scent that stays for such a long time that you couldn't even catch a hint of the vanilla pods in the base notes. Red Delicious has good staying power with my body chemistry and makes me feel fresh all day. Love it.

Fresh crips apples and sweet vanilla notes. A very slight hint on leather and patchouli. Slightly powdery on the dry down. Great for the summer however I have worn this all year round. Mostly wear during the day but have worn it on occasions during the late and warm summers evenings. Cute bottle. The scent lasts for hours. One of my favorites. A lovely playfull scent.

Never thought about sexy and apples at the same time, untill I sprayed on this red sweetheart. Never smelled somthing so sexy before. I have to admit I am a apple lover and eat one every day... I like to wear this at night or for partying all night long. On me the litchi and raspberry are loud and clear. Just like strong red apples (Elstar,Jonagold)surrounding me.

To me Red Delicious is Be Delicious's big sister. It has all of the juicy freshness, but a more mature, warm spicy bottom layer. The substitution of cucumber for raspberry also makes it less watery and more interesting. Fun, fruity and works in all seasons. I'm gutted that this is discontinued now as it's the first perfume I ever bought and a firm favourite.

I have to admit that I didn't like it that much when I first received it but after an hour, it started smelling like apple pie and a bit of cinnamon. It's so delicious that I spray it on all day when I wear it! Too bad it doesn't last very long though, I'm emptying the bottle and it was expensive!

Love this one! It ́s sweet but soft and it ́s long lasting. I have used 2 bottles already and purchase me a new one for sure, never get tired of this one. That`s rare for me, i have just a few scents that i adore so much i will have them to stay in my collection forever and this is one of them.

I really love it and prefer it over the red candy apple even if it has the similar notes of sweet red apple. I think this original red apple is sweeter and softer. This gave me sweet scent of apple which make me feel happy and joyful all day. This scent is so delicious with sweet fruity scent.

I probably love this so much due to nostalgia, but I preferred this red edition to the usual green. I think the rose brings something refined to the fruity party. I just like how red apples smell, and I love smelling edible, so this has been my jam for years. Too bad it’s hard to find!

I'm wearing this today. Do any of you think this may have been reformulated? Some of your descriptions don't sound like the scent I'm wearing. I find I like it even more than Be Delicious (Green Apple) It doesn't smell sweet on my skin at all. It's more of a perfumy smell. It suits me.

A unique fruity fragrance that's crisp and clean enough for everyday wear. It reminds me of the beginning of autumn when the weather is starting to cool down after a hot summer. Without trying to make a pun the smell really is 'delicious', almost good enough to eat.

I love this perfume. I had it for a very long time, and I find that the fragance lasted very long, compared to others. I loved to wear it during the winter, even though it's a very summery scent. It is sweet and crisp. I also liked the male version.
