DKNY Red Delicious

I love anything that smells or tastes like a red apple. Including a red apple.

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!

A rare gem perfume irresistible and reeks of nostalgia. Seen few on ebay being sold - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116512670880?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6jwhZmOaR-i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=6jwhZmOaR-i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Never really stuck with me, so the bottle i have would go in and out of closet, with each of my attempts to fall in love with it failing. If anyone's interested, I still have half of the 100 ml bottle left for sale. You can find it on my Vinted page, my username is "cimmeris". Dm if you have any extra questions and for details Edit: it has found a new home

Great, easy, fruity, classic. Have enjoyed this since I was in high school and 15 years later it still withstands the time.

Took a couple years but it's grown on me! I try to be mindful of when and how I wear it because it can be too much and annoying for me, but on the right day it's a lot of fun and enjoyable. I find the leather note very noticeable.

Why would they discontinue this? Always with the ones I love. Annoying.

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.

I love it! I used to wear it all the time (specially to go clubbing) and still do on occasions, and I always get complimented on it. It's sweet and juicy, and I know it's not on the notes, but ALL I smell is violets. Sweet, juicy and sugary violets. It also lasts for ages on my skin.

Yes, there is a clear scent of sweet apples. But then comes a strong scent of lotion (like Nivea in the blue tin). The whole blend of lotion and apple is not particularly fresh or uplifting. And then comes the rose... Old-fashioned thick scent of rose... The scent could possibly be used as a body lotion... maybe. But toned down. The scent leaves me feeling older than I am. The whole experience is dusty/powdery and compact. I had hoped for a scent that resembles more fresh fruit, with a hint of vanilla (a bit like Fructis Garnier). I really wanted to love the scent. Especially because it has now occupied my shelf for a couple of years...

I had the green Be delicious and this one, I can say this one was more sweet, although still fresh, and more beautiful!!! They are similar though. I moved to gourmand fragrances since then but I have so fond memories of this one!! Youthfull and playfull and a bit spicy /boozy apple. Nothing wow though.

The correct notes are as follows: Top: Champagne accord, Lychee Middle: Raspberry, Apple, Rose Base: Amber, Musk, Vanilla There is no leather or patchouli note

Way too sweet for me. The litchi is over the top and it distracts me while I'm wearing it. That extreme sticky sweetness with the rose and leather is just not a good mix for me. Maybe it will grow on me but I doubt it.

The opening reminds me of a fresh berry champagne cocktail, very crisp and bubbly with some ripe litchis and tart raspberries. It slowly deepens into a jammy rose and apple compote. I couldn’t detect any patchouli and it’s a note I usually detest when overly loud in a perfume. The dry down is warm vanilla amber with a trace of syrupy apple. I couldn’t smell any leather, I’m not sure if the current description listed holds true as several reviews mention different accords listed earlier. It’s quite different from the original Be Delicious lacking that crisp and bitter cucumber vegetal edge (which can be a pro for people who don’t like the original scent). It’s a very clean scent from the start but evolves into a more sticky sweet fruit scent and a warmer vanilla finish. It’s very well blended and takes some time (and assiduous efforts) to detect individual notes. It you’re into fruity florals and don’t like overly sweet and juvenile perfumes, then this would be an ideal choice. It’s elegant but not groundbreaking and personally, I prefer this to the original Be delicious and the blossom one as well.

Lots of berry with some rose and patchouli. There's almost a rum-like boozey sweetness to this but the raspberry is not quite ripe enough to ferment. I like some elements to this but I think the execution is a little outdated and feels too much like a body spray for a teenager.

I can't believe the comments I'm reading on this one.. I checked twice to make sure I didn't accidentally go to any other perfume's page. This is in my top 10 perfumes out of about 200+ I've tried. It is 50% freshness without being citrusy, 25% fruity sweetness along with 25% earthiness. The balance is just right and the mix is heavenly. Smells quite expensive, not sharp or synthetic at all, good projection and about 5 hours lasting power on me. I can't get enough of it, I've been complimented a lot. It's actually quite unique, I have nothing like this and I am big on fresh-aquatic-ozonic perfumes. "Be Delicious" is so sour on me, smells like lime and grass, it's sharp, synthetic and headache inducing. I have this problems with many perfume in the fresh-aquatic category, in case you have similar skin to mine give this beauty a try! (I am buying an affordable identical dupe of it at this point since I can't find it anywhere.

Be Delicious minus the violet and cucumber. The litchi makes this way too sweet for me. Love the freshness of the original, this one is more apple raspberry shampoo than crisp green apple.

I thought I would love the sister fragrances to Be Delicious but they fell so flat to me. Maybe I went in with false hope that they would be equally as fresh, crisp and apple like without being too literal. They didn't even resemble relatives to the first release and in fact deviated too much from the apple. I didn't get any apple from this one or golden delicious. All the flankers to follow were meh but the initial release was the best fresh fruity perfume I've ever tried.

Top is lots of raspberry, very juicy and sweet but not necessarily fresh. I would love to smell litchi from this but I just don't. Drydown is apple and rose with that touch of non-refreshing raspberry. It smells perfume-y, a bit soapy and powdery at this point. Don't wear this in summer heat, it's not the refreshing fruit that you think it'll be.

I want to start off with saying I'm a huge fan of the OG Be Delicious. I truly believe there was no reason to have purchased this with having that one already. It basically smells the same but with a red tangy note. I was really hoping for a crisp & juicy red apple version. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch but this smells unpleasantly tart on me. I usually get a lot of compliments w/ DKNY but none with this one! I'm sticking to the OG which has all the notes I did enjoy from this one - minus that strange sour smell I seem to be getting. This is hard to find where I live and ended up spending $80 on a tiny 1.7 fl oz..whoops!

This was my first ever real perfume at 16 years old. It’s quite different to the original green apple-the green one is tart, crisp, fresh and green smelling while the red apple is darker, a little spicy but also fruity. I got the biggest bottle and used it up in a year, the bottle itself is so pretty. I think it’s a bit too strong for hot summer days but it’s perfect for autumn or rainy days.

A well-balanced, comforting smell.

This was a blind buy. Fortunately I didn't pay much for it. First spritz is a sour smell of tart fruit. The perfume morphs into a strange wet fur type of smell but retains that sharp, sour note throughout. This is a definite no no for me.

This was a blind buy on Ebay for about $10. I give it a 'meh' rating. I'm definitely glad I didn't spend a lot of money on this fragrance. I was expecting fruity at the onset, but when first sprayed, I was greeted by a spicy scent. Thankfully, the spicy-ish scent fades away after about 5-10 minutes into a fruity scent. Whoa it's fruity! I echo another reviewer's comment that it settles down into a similar scent to Marc Jacobs Dot, but heavier. IMO, this would be best worn on a spring or fall 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.

I really liked the way it smelled straight out of the bottle but it just didn´t work on my skin. Shame.

Red Delicious was very sweet, more night time perfume. I remember it lasted all night long. I think raspberry, rose and leather were main notes. It wasn't very fruity, more grown up version of Be Delicious original.

Had it as a young teen, not sure if it was my underdeveloped nose for scents or that this perfume just smells of sickly sweet rotten red apple, but I never liked it

Red ''Be Delicious'' smells for me like raspberry yogurt with litche. Apple in a background. Sweet but fresh and yummy. No headache after this fragrance.

I got a 30 ml bottle as a gift, a little over three years ago and there's still over half left. Which is shocking for me because I spray perfume like a mad woman. So I guess I don't love this perfume but I don't hate it either. It has a really synthetic heavy syrupy feel to it, like if I overspray and sat in a hot car I just might suffocate. I just sniffed it and I know why I don't reach for it much-it smells like straight up fruity shampoo to me, I'd prefer smelling like perfume the silage is heavy on me, and I love the cute little bottle
