I got this as a sample with purchse at Sephora. I got the Be Delicious Intense (the green one). It's definitively fruity and fresh. I love it for summer, but I don't feel like it's really long lasting on me. I'll probably purchase, eventually.

I guess I just might be one of the only people on the planet that this does not smell good on, but I'm just not a fan. I have smelled it on others, and loved it, but on me it is too high pitched if that makes any sense. I feel like it gives me a one, two punch in the nostrils, and it leaves me with an intense headache for the rest of the day. Even with just one spray, it is waaaaaaaay too strong for my senses. I don't recognize it as a full bodied scent on me either. It smells really really fruity, with no bottom notes. Meh.

I bought a smallish bottle of Red Delicious as a blind buy (ie never sniffed it). Blind buys are always hit or miss. Sometimes you luck out and find something great but most of the time, you find a perfume that's just kind of "meh" and you end up throwing it in a box somewhere. This one is a throw-in-box-purchase.

Obviously, any perfume that is housed in a bottle that is suppose to resemble an apple is going to be sweet and fruity. This wasn't a huge surprise to me as I wasn't expecting anything else. This really doesn't remind me of an apple, just a bunch of sweet fruitiness. I don't really get a fresh vibe, just sugary sweetness. This isn't a terrible fragrance but it doesn't mesh well with my chemistry and tends to turn sickly sweet on me. It also strikes me as a scent that is more suited for warmer months because it's so sweet.

The bottle itself is cute to look at but as it is presumably suppose to be a sleek version of a red apple. The bottle I have has a lid that twists off to reveal a spray pump. Since I don't keep my perfumes on a shelf (I store them in their original box in a dark box with a lid so they'll last longer), the cute bottle isn't much of a draw for me.

Overall, this is a blind buy that I don't totally regret but this perfume just isn't for me. If you like sweet fruity scents and like to collect apple shaped bottles, this perfume is definitely for you.

The perfume is nice. But - the bottle is the WORST bottle/pakaging of any pefume I have seen - hideous & flimsy. Would not enjoy looking at it on my perfume altar. continued >>

I gave this one a low score on price as I think it is overpriced for what it is. When i detect this smell on someone my instant reaction is to flee. I honestly cannot understand why anyone would choose to wear this. Not after the age of 14, anyhow.

I bought this because - I do not know. I must have been drunk. Tried it for a few hours before I had to wash it off my skin. That was the last time I bought something because 'everyone else likes it'. I gave it to a friend, but luckily she did not like it and gave it to someone I don't know.

When I buy perfume, I look for fresh, not heavy, sweet, not musky, fruity, floral, and sophisticated all at the same time. This perfume is perfect for me. It is not too young-smelling, and it is not old-smelling at all. It's fresh. It's clean. It lasts a long time and it is not too expensive either. I would recommend this product to anyone who likes fruity, perhaps a little bit of floral, fresh, clean scents that do not make them smell too immature.

I have loved this fragrance for years. It’s sweet yet fruity and fresh fragrance, which I adore. The staying power is great, and I would continue to repurchase it.

My sister has the green bottle. I really love this perfume-- so pretty and light and sweetly fresh. A very wearable scent for all ages and especially great to wear in the summer as it isn't too heavy. The lasting power is pretty good, too. I would love to purchase a bottle for myself!

So fresh and a little fruity but not too sweet which is perfect for me. I don't feel like it has the best staying power but it is nearly perfect apart from that. Love this fragrance!

I used to use a really inexpensive perfume from PacSun called Nollie Real. It was my favorite perfume. Unfortunately, it was discontinued a couple years ago and I had no luck trying to find one that smelt that amazing, not until I found this one anyway! This perfume smells so good! I find that it's more floral initially, then becomes a bit fruity after it sets for a few minutes. Unlike the perfume, the lotion is exactly opposite. I love the scent nonetheless. I recommend this highly, as it is delicious scented. I've gotten so many compliments wearing this it's unbelievable. However, it is a bit pricey when you have a slim budget. Luckily for me, I bought it at Kohls after Christmas and also used a coupon. I ended up paying $32 for the medium sized bottle, plus the lotion (the regular green one).
