DKNY Red Delicious (for women)

Designer: Donna Karan Olfactive Group: Floral Fruity
Video

Donna Karan gladdens her fans by introducing a new limited-edition scent, Be Delicious-Red Delicious. Perfume composed of apple note surrounded with violet leaves becomes sweeter with a glittering start thanks to a splendid bouquet beautifully harmonized leaving us under the impression of having a real, juicy, ripe apple in front of us. Red and white bottle still looks like an apple perfectly matching the tantalizing character of this fragrance. Red Delicious mixes the notes of champagne, lychee, raspberry, apple, rose, amber, musk and vanilla. It is created in 2006.

I love this! It smells like the outside of a red apple to me, like a juicy watery red apple..it is delicious! It's sweet yet crispy and tart too!

Red Delicious didn't live up to it's hype. It smells nothing like Be Delicious. Be Delicious smells way better. I like apples, but in this scent, Eww! It reminded me of apples all right, rotten apples. This scent is horrendous.

The original Be Delicious is so lovely, especially when compared to this! Cutting a green scent with a fruity sweetener doesn't always work. Red Delicious seems to be trying to be juicy rather than sharp, an apple of pulp and water rather than taste.

I can detect raspberry and apple, with a kind of mushy warm undertone. If Snow White's wicked stepmother had offered me this I'd have thrown it back at her, and be living with the dwarves to this day!

Maybe it's just me, but I thought this fragrance was horrible. I didn't get fruity at all. The smell was really sharp. I like patchouli and apple, so I don't know why this fragrance didn't agree with me. Perhaps, it was the leather. I liked the original Be Delicious, so I assumed that this one would be a beautiful scent as well. I was very disappointed. This is one of the most unpleasant scents I have ever smelled.

I must have smelt this fragrance when I was holidaying in Melbourne, because everytime I smell this scent I think of the city, the shops and the busy streets.

I much prefer this fragrance to the original Be Delicious because the apple note isn't so prominent. I like how this fragrance has blended the apple note with raspberry and litchi, creating something that is unique, divine and very fruity.

I was shocked to see leather as one of the listed notes, but I'm rather glad because it has changed my view on leather scents. I once viewed leather as being strong and distasteful, yet now I really like it.

Red Delicious is such an intriguing fragrance. One minute I'll be thinking it's passable, the next minute I'm totally in love.

I can't wait until Summer so I can test it in the warmer weather. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be making this fragrance my favourite scent for the hotter months.

Yumi Yumi Yumi!! I smell the botlle and wanna give a bite...

It was the first one of 'delicious' I have smelled and I didn't like it back then at all.
I tried it today and it smelled on me almost like the original Be Delicious- apple + cucumber. Almost no sign of litchi or raspberry. After few hours it becomes just apple and amber. Leather there is gentle and 'almost there'.
It isn't very intense, except first 2 hours or so. It changes quite fast to ambery apple smell- something there is not quite cool- the apple note with amber smells a bit musty, but it isn't that detectable, because it's more close to skin at that phase.
The 3.4 oz bottle is too large for my hands to hold it and spray, it almost slipped when I tried to spray it on my wrist.
I don't love original Be Delicious (I'm glad with my sample), but this one I don't like. In fact it was a bit nauseating from time to time.

my boyfriend bought this parfume for me
i really like the smell is so sweet
04/30/09 06:01:16
yummy fragrance! great staying power too...
04/30/09 05:44:58
Now let me put my 2 cents in it!!
I don't like this as much as I like Be Delicious, but considering I'm picky when it comes to apple scented fragrances...But like Be Delicious, Red Delicious has that freshy tartness I like, but here it's not that pronounced , but more carnal, more musky!
But alltogether I like it...the rose here mixed with the patchouli are really something else, something retro-urban-chic!
04/27/09 11:48:47
now this smells YUMMY! i wish i had bought the red instead of the green...
04/22/09 11:27:51
This is a fun feminine fragrance! I think it works in almost any setting, work and play. I have worn it and gotten many compliments and people say that never smelled that way on me, so maybe my chemistry is different? I would recommend for people to try different ones with the delicious line because one of them is bound to work with your chemistry. I love this one much better than the original although I own most of them. Red Night and new fresh blossom are my favorites!
03/25/09 15:49:42
My least favorite "Delicious". It looses the youthful energy of the original, and isn't nearly as interesting as "Delicious Night". The red berry scent just doesn't compliment the apple. It almost gets syrupy on my skin, and not in a good way.
03/22/09 14:37:29
I love this perfume - i find it a bit chaffy, playful, sweet...I use it in winter because it reminds me for the summer and excite me.
03/15/09 04:51:52
They knew what they meant when they called it "delicious",cause it really is.It's very fruity,i can feel the apple and the raspberry very well.Nothing sophisticated.It's just...delicious.
02/23/09 01:11:19
My boyfriend bought me this perfume today
and it smells wonderful!
It smells like sweet apple love it!!!!
02/07/09 19:28:32
This is very friendly on my skin. Subtle and Delicious. Smooth and soft. I didn't expect much out of this and actually I'm suprised I like it so much. It's a subtle scent, candylike with a hint of strangeness. It's just perfect. Not boring to me at all. It's clean and sweet all mixed in one. cute little red bottle too.
02/01/09 15:20:57
 
This is a boring fragrance unlike the amazing Be Delicious!... Fruity notes are too overpowering and makes headache...
01/14/09 12:15:45
 
I like this perfume but something in it goes straight in my mouth. Very odd.
01/13/09 10:24:10
Maybe it's just my nose, but I can't really detect any fruit in this. To me, it smells like cheap chemicals, I was very disappointed since I was hoping for a true apple scent.

Kind of powdery and yucky on me.
10/29/08 15:27:23
Compare to the Green one,Red is more fruity and a bit lighter.Real Fruity,I didn't notice any floral note in it.
Staying power is good,but can't compare to the green one.Even I like the green one,I think the red one is lighter and easy to use.Should be a casual-everyday fragrance.
10/23/08 08:28:33
this fragrance is yummy. it's super for romantic wear and some special occasions. the staying power is quite impressive and the apple-shaped bottle looks so pretty. I just love both Red and Be Delicious!!!

My flatmate bought this fragrance some months ago. She absolutely adores it. So do I.

I happened to wear it once. It was my graduation party. I put on my red evening dress, golden jewelry and was already holding in a hand a bottle with my usual perfume. At that moment my flatmate came in. "Wow! You look absolutely gorgeous! but wait a minute... I've got something for you. Close your eyes." And then there was that smell - DKNY Red Delicious. Actually, I didn't know it's name, it was just something from a fairy tale, which made a princess out of Cinderella. The party went perfect.

I wanted to buy this perfume later, but I didn't want to smell the same. Well, I'm sure it's magic inside of this red-apple-bottle anyway. You know, my flatmate's boyfriend really goes crazy when he smells this aroma on her neck.

green apple is alot better than this. this perfume smells so bad on me. it smells like a bruise medicated oil. yuck.
09/22/08 09:36:37
for casual wear, red fruits and apple, it a good fragrance but think i would´t buy it.
08/22/08 14:29:24
I think this is a good day fragrance. It stays with you and though its sweet and fruity, the amber notes come out after a few hours.
07/27/08 14:42:44
I did not like the original be delicious, however this one I like, more sophisticated.

It smell better than the other one (DKNY be delicious) but I don't like this perfume, in fact I don't like neither the male versions of this one, and the be delicious series, And the series of Picnic in the park smell so bad.
11/05/07 13:31:36
his apple's smell captures my nose,it's fresh and lovely.for me,it's better than dkny delicious(that green)
09/26/07 01:33:39
This is a fun fragrance for casual or evening wear. It is crisp and clean as are all of Donna Karen's fragrances.
