5th Avenue NYC Red

Wonderful juice in the flacon. I just bought this with a bonus gift tote at Priceline in QLD. It's wonderful for now. I am however going to have come back here with a review It kind of reminds me of the Lover scents by Jeanne Arthes only long lived with the peppery tones from Pretty Hot from the EA fragrance ranges. That's just for now. There's a LOTV like top note but it's not listed. This gives it a fifth avenue sistership. Again I'll come back when I have something more descriptive to say for now though I am impressed.

Sweet, juicy, fresh red apple blends beautifully with red currant, enveloping the wearer in vibrant, positive energy. Joyful and feminine, the fragrance lasts all day on fabric, with an intimate sillage that transitions from fruity notes into a floral-woody drydown. The overall impression is elegant, pleasant, and effortlessly easy to wear.

I am sad as the fragrance changed, during spring and summer I smelt this delicious apple and I even rated it as love but it smells more subtle and floral now in fall. The dahlia is now the main note instead of the apple and although I like the flower and like the smell, I've never wanted to smell like a dahlia. They remind me of school starting and fall, though they are beautiful. As I was looking for an apple scent, I compared this to Roche's mademoiselle and well, while Mademoiselle smells like a sweet and tart late summer apple dusted in powdered sugar which opens right away and starts to fade after an hour, NYC red smells like the apples that need to stand all winter to be edible in the spring - a deep, rich, intense and mature fragrance which opens only after an hour. So as for my apple fragrance search I am stuck between a young 24ish something and a 40+ fragrance vibe wise, for one I feel a bit too old and feel comfortable wearing only together with something pink and the other feels like a date night scent. The search continues

This is similar to shakira love rock. I haven't tried it on my skin yet or in different temperatures, so i cant judge just yet. Firsr impression though is this is boring and smells like shakira love rock. I dont like love rock and i dont think ill like this one either.

Nyc red starts out with a fruity blast but it is not a juvenile scent it changes on drydown and has a depth and woodiness present. Deep drydown is reminiscent of bright Crystal absolute, it's sticks to close all day and needs time to macerate before using... 7/10
