This perfume for man made of woody notes was introduced in limited edition in 2006. Packed in red bottle it brings sexy and daring notes for men. Top notes are made of sweet fresh bergamot together with cardamom, tangerine, oxygen, brandy and rum. The heart brings notes of saffron, coffee, apple liqueur, and orchid. The base is warm and soft, together with notes of sandal and vanilla, touched by woodsy notes and moss accords. The bottle has a shape of apple, and the apple is a symbol of the New York City. It is available in the amount of 50 and 100 ml edt.
DresdenDoll, can I date your brother? :) I think this fume, as I remember it, is super sexy on guys. It was a surprise for me, as the whole delicious business seemed always totally skipable.
Maybe not extraordinary and no huuuge deal, but this is really attractive and interesting imo and way better than original Be Delicious! I also think these notes are something, and you can actually smell them! I like the aquatic-spicy-woody idea, too, weird as it seems.
This smelled like rotting apples when I sprayed it on. Then it becomes almost like cider, apple with a heavy boozy influence. And yet it does somehow smell aquatic.Quite odd. I think it might have something to do with the moss, which I can smell throughout and is the only thing I get at the base. Not great. My brother (the owner) doesn't like it either, he wears it, like leung.m says, for the sake of wearing something.
I bought this during an on-line sale without trying it first, I had smelt be delicious before, so i thought it would be down that sort of road.
it's a kind of fragrance that you put on for the sake of having something on, one of those like i'm at the gym and just going home and no where else after...(that is actually the only time I use it)
It is nothing special, nothing to write home about, for me anyway it's very ordinary, I don't love it, I don't hate it... I just wear it cos I'm not going to wear creed to go home after the gym... kinda sums it up!
Even finding the alcohol & coffee notes interesting, this parfum remains damn sweet to me.
Like a girl that drank too much rum, cognac and coffee and got effin' drunk and energic - she can't stop talking - this fragrance annoys.
I couldn't even finish my bottle. I'm sure it was red, but I got tired of looking for the delicious.
"Mushroomfat" in the comment below, described brief and comprehensive.
I think so; bergamot and mandarin blossom weaken it a little, but without them I would be only a sweet annoying scent.
I wish I could spread more saffron scent but the floral patter is more strong. With all these after a while it becomes ordinary but a few stronger. Nothing special at all but not bad. Outdoor scent and casual, chic and young or maybe teenager, long lasting, good sillage; everything is all right. Well balanced but not special, at least in my style.
It's delicious as it named, elegant, young but powerful and boozy! The fact is that Rum and Cognac intensified its longevity and sweetened the background but still something resistances against sweetness and it makes it a bit sharp, clear and bitter and also a little sour! I smelt it again and the dry down in marvelous and you know what; it has good sillage even in the dry down!
Great!
Kinda fresh but also warm.
Kinda aquatic but also coffee/alcohol-like
Sounds strange, but the result is pretty good.
I do get the red apple note as well.
Great choose for semi-hot weather.
I want the rum, saffron, coffee, sandalwood, coffee and vanilla. But tangerine and bergamot ruined it.
Its better than be delicious but still not great.
The very best I can say for Red Delicious is that it reminds me of red wine.
Very good perfume, I smell the coffee and end a delicious sweet smell enticing. Better to use on cold days, for summer I found it very sweet!
Longevity 6-7 hours

I smelt this at a local mall last week and it is so similar to Sean John Unforgivable. No thank you
it's smell like my grandma. I think I'll pass with this one.
Cognac, rum, coffe, orchid, saffron. I thought it was going to be a dark, gourmand, rich and heavy scent.
However it's a mouthwatering, fresh and warm,(as other said) great scent! I really like it and it's surely surprising that with such ingredients they could make such a fresh fragrance.
Modern, uplifting, unique (for me) and juicy :) It was a good choice (no wonder it's more expensive than Be Delicious).
Recommended! This is Red Apple for men ;)
Red delicous for men opens fresh and crisp with a slight woodsy note. I could really smell the bergamot, tangerine and sweet apple. It quickly turns warm and spicy on the skin, with rum, coffee, cognac and patchouli the strongest notes. A casual, boozy, modern fragrance great for the colder months, tends to turn sour in hot weather. I was sure I could smell a strong leather note somewhere, but its not listed. Fresh and warm at the same time. Easy to wear with great sillage.Too bad its a limited edition, this could be a perfect fall fragrance.
the rum and brandy are too strong,i fear getting pulled over by cops thinking i was drinking and driving. no go for me.ciao!
I could drink it, but I cant used it,it's cloying ,smells like a christmas dessert.
Hi.
Really seductive.delicious for girls!good fragrances.a great one?maybe not but difinately a good fragrance.i love to wear this but it is not scent for everyday.
Not too overbearing not too soft but right in that regard.in my opinion truly for a modern daring man.i love the base notes perfect for a night out in spring.
Good sillage and longevity is around 4 hours on my skin.the style is better than Be Delicious Men for me.
7/10
I have the cologne version of this in a different bottle. The main notes I can smell in this are the apple liquer and the coffee, the coffee really projects on my skin for some reason. I dont understand how people dont smell the coffee in this fragrance, its definately there even when it's just sprayed. I love this until the drydown after a few hours this kind of goes sour on my skin. Still a lovely scent that is definately the smell of NYC.
DKNY Red Delicious is deliciously boozy.
This fragrance had the potential to be fresh and Summery, especially with the presence of apple and bergamot, however I'm rather glad that this fragrance is the complete opposite of fresh.
Red Delicious is rich, spicy and warm. This is the scent for a wild man, something that really appeals to me. The booziness originates from the rum and cognac notes, yet the spicyness from the patchouli, saffron and cardamom balances the scent out nicely.
Added notes of coffee and floral components such as iris, orchid and mandarin blossom makes for one very unique fragrance. This is certainly masculine however a daring woman wearing this fragrance is not out of the question.
I only half-heartedly agree that this is an aquatic, it does have slight watery notes, but it is nowhere near as fresh as most aquatic fragrances. The best seasons for DKNY Red Delicious would be Autumn and Spring and perhaps even Winter.
just nice. A little too watery for my taste... Like a silly fragance, maybe for teens. I have a very small bottle and will swap it.
Fresh, sweet from the apple liqueur. Kinda reminds me of Leau Par kenzo. But better it doesnt start out sharp. I dont get no coffee whats so ever. The longevity is OK.
A delicious mouthwatering fragrance, but I don't know where the water is. It is maybe a light woody-gourmand scent that I really love: it smells like red apples, it evokes some red wine, raspberries and some sheer spicy vanilla in the background.
it is sooooo lovely, mi grlfriend brought it for em!!! she kept sniffing me
Wow!Cognac & Rum notes are fantastic!just kiddin,this one is one fresh scent with warmth in it,just love it.

its smells nice and clean
a little playful and makes ppl wonder what u are wearing , nice
can someone tell me which is better this one or donna karen love from new york ?????????
plz answer me fast!!!
im buying now
Very clean smell. Like fresh laundry almost but be careful this is quite strong. I wouldn't sniff my wrist all day with this one.
It's very similar to the original, only warmer. Warmth provided, I believe, by the delicious cognac and rum accords. Those alcoholic notes are not only successful giving warmth to the fragrance, they also give to the man who's wearing it a certain appeal among drunk girls, so I would recommend that you guys wore it on a nigh out, if you wanna go clubbing lol.
Very nice fragrance although I still don't like the strange note on the top that smells like ¿celery? that I dislike so much in the original.
This one is a trully upgrade to the original Be Delicious. Really tasty! I wish I could drink a cocktail with the same color and taste of this fragrance! The staying power is not very strong.
I have smelled this one many times, but I didn't know exactly how to describe it. Today I finally clicked that it smells like Christmas fruit mince tarts. I think that it is because of all the sweet liqueur notes. Yummy! It's hard to find perfumes with coffee, apple liqueur, and orchid etc all together. It should be a unisex fragrance because everyone should have the right to smell like a Christmas fruit mince tart, especially at the festive season.
I really like this scent. i bought it for my brother. pity my by doesn't rly like this. so i can't buy it for him. i'm gonna compare the male and female's version for this! If the male's version is better, than who knows!:D
sweet, slightly masculine, modern, complex, rich, high quality, enjoyable, long lasting and seductive. a must try for young men. worth every buck you spend on it.
even I'm a woman, but I love to wear this..fresh n delicious..n I like more when my man used this... :)
Nice and crisp scent. Cedar and citrus notes work well for everyday use in the office.
