Really does smell like apples. I feel like this is for kids.. I am sorry if I offend anyone but I am just being honest. Who wants to smell like apples?

Here are the facts: The top features green notes, violet leaf, apple, grapefruit and magnolia. The middle - tuberose, lily of the valley, rose and violet, the base – sandalwood, amber and musk. Here's my opinion, this is a lovely, whimsical scent. I don't think every woman has the confidence to wear a scent this strong and distinct. This perfume say's "I'm unique, I'm bold, acknowledge me". I love it, particularly for the summer.

This smells fab on my aunt. Like fresh, sweetened apples. It's not my kind of scent, but I love smelling it on other people, and the bottle is too cute.

This certainly is a great spring/summer scent for me! Quite different than most fruity scents which surprisingly can be worn by any age. It stays forever on me so that is always a big impression point for me. I really have to sniff myself a few times a day when I wear this one!

I am actually on my second bottle of this perfume and I love it. It's so refreshing! I am a huge fan of fruity scents, particularly apple, and I cannot find a perfume that compares to this scent. Like most name brand perfumes, it is a tad expensive, but you can find it foe cheaper at outlets. The only thing I adored more than this perfume was the matching lipgloss. The lipgloss came in a gift set and used to be sold separately, but was unfortunately discontinued.
Overall, if you are a fan of smelling like apples, this is your perfume. It's not at all overwhelming and it lasts a VERY long time.

I really enjoy this perfume. It is fruity, but not overwhelmingly. A little goes a long way, and I adore the bottle.

Notes; American Apple, Cucumber, Grapefruit, Candid Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose, Violet, Sandalwood, Tender Skin Accord, Blonde Woods, White Amber.
At first spritz of this perfume you really think of it being just apples.Well,ding ding ding,we have a winner!It is just basically apples.There is also some cucumber and amber too. Your main notes are that.It is quite full-on in my opinion.
You really need to love your fruity apples.Its very crispy and juicy sort of an apple.The only downfall is its just apples..and for me that doesn't change.
I like the scent but I don't think I could handle it all the time.It can get a little too over-whelming...but I will wear it and use it up.I don't think I'd buy it again,because its just okay.Quite cheap though,and if I was given this I'd use it up.
I would give this fragrance a shrug..but anyway.Thanks for reading and I hope it helps. :D

I have never purchase this perfume, but I have had a few sample vials of it over the past few years and I still cannot decide if I like it enough to purchase. So that being said, a fragrance shouldn't be bought if you only "like" and not love it. It's undeniably fresh and fruity and does smell reminiscent of watered down apples.. but in all honesty I don't find it memorable or gorgeous. Maybe even a little bit synthetic.

The cucumber note is noticeable and gives it an extra boost of freshness and the lasting power was okay, but not impressive.. Also I have used a friends full sized bottle and found it rather awkward to hold though the design is cute - it just does not transition well. Part of me wants to give this another try but I just don't see myself using it enough. Would not purchase.

Love the scent. It is light, fresh, and fruity. I also enjoy that it isn't overly sweet like some fruity scents can be. It smells delicious, just like the name (: Wear this one almost on a daily basis as it is very pleasant and not overpowering.

I initially wrote this off as being too generic. But I like the scent. It's not cloying and it doesn't annoy me or make me nauseous after several hours. I'm finding that I want to wear it more and more. *** Edit *** This has become one of my favorite fragrances.

I love love love this! I could wear this everyday! It is so light and feminine. On me it is just a very beautiful floral with just a hint of citrus. I don't get the apple scent so much, and I was kind of afraid to try this because I am not into apple scents, but this just smells great! It smells so expensive and classy. Very nice! I was torn between this one and the "Fresh Blossom" one (in the pink apple-bottle), but decided on this one because I always go for the more floral-y scents, (and the pink one is more floral-y), so I wanted something a bit different. I am glad I went with this one! Timeless!

I love this perfume! It smells amazing, like fresh apples. I think that is such a unique scent. The packaging is adorable, although I will admit that it's challenging to spritz it on your wrist. It was pretty expensive...but it was worth it. :)

I loved this in the beginning, but after about a year (wearing it in rotation with other fragrances, off and on), I kept smelling some odd synthetic fruit smell that wasn't there before. I don't keep my fragrances in the bathroom or in sunlight, and I don't usually have trouble with a scent turning on me after only a year. It may have just been a bad batch, I suppose, or some anomalous incident with my bottle, but by the time I finally finished this out, I wasn't a fan anymore. Also, the bottle is cute, but I always had trouble spraying with just one hand. I'd have to hold the bottle with one and press the button with the other--very difficult to get a spritz or two on your wrist this way.

Okay, this is slightly embarrassing, but I have been wearing this on a consistent basis for the past 7 years. It was literally love at first sniff. This was probably my first fragrance purchase that didn't require a "think it over" period. I knew this was me. I was instantly smitten by its fruity, watery, lightly floral freshness. It sounds incredibly cheesy, but it was like biting into a fresh, juicy, green apple on a warm, spring day. Since my first Be Delicious purchase, I have tried many other perfumes. I have come to the realization that while there may be many different perfumes that I enjoy smelling - from the extremely gourmand to the orientals - there are few things that I actually want to smell LIKE. For me, this strikes the right balance of citrusy freshness, fruitiness, and floral. Yes, I have strayed at times, but I always come back to it. Oh yeah, and might I add that I have NEVER encountered anyone who didn't like it (or if I have, they weren't vocal about it). I get a TON of compliments when I wear this - everyone from a former co-worker, to a random guy in a restaurant, a relative of mine in her mid-fifties, and my friends have complimented me. And they aren't just the generic, "You smell nice" compliments. I've gotten, "What are you wearing?? I really like it!", "You always smell SO good!", or "You smell so clean and fresh!" I generally wear perfume for myself, not to receive compliments, but I still appreciate them, and it's a major plus that others aren't offended by the smell of this. I don't find the staying power to be outstanding, but I have applied it in the morning and still gotten complimented on how I smell at the very end of the day. Also, I do love the packaging, but have noticed that the atomizer is not the best quality and can be slightly difficult to spray after a lot of use. But other than that, after all these years, I still love this perfume.

Smells so amazing, very fresh and fruity. It is a little strong, a little goes a long way. It lasts all day as well.

Went to ULTA today and tried this baby on. IT SMELLS AMAZING. It's quite simple and sugary sweet with a few floral notes and a hint of green apple. Also, the staying power is fabulous. I stopped by ULTA around 6 hours ago and I can still smell this fragrance on my skin! Definately picking up a bottle next time i have the money. It's totally worth it.

I really love this sent! Along with the apple notes, I detect notes of melon and flower blossom, which makes for a really fresh and pleasant sent. I would recommend you try this if you are inclined toward light but long lasting fruit sents that are sublty sexy. It's my current favorite and I've been surviving on samples. Would love to get my hands on a full size (the bottle is absolutely adorable)! I would definately buy and recommend.

When this perfume debuted in 2005, my older sister got several samples from a friend who worked in retail, and she passed one along to me. I was fifteen at the time, and I totally fell in love with Be Delicious. I have always loved the scent of apples, so this was perfect for my taste. I used the small sample vial in no time, and for years afterward, I intended to ask for a full-size bottle as a Christmas gift--but I never remembered come the holiday season. During Christmas of 2010, I became a bit of a fragrance junkie and finally remembered to ask for this. Sadly, almost a year after purchasing this, it sits on my dresser mostly unused--save for for maybe 15-20 spritzes. Don't get me wrong--the perfume itself does not smell bad. It has a very warm, woodsy apple-y fragrance that smells amazing when sprayed into the air or whiffed straight from the bottle, but it reacts strangely with my personal body chemistry. It smells great when I first spray it on, but after several hours of wear, it eventually dries down to a very powdery, almost stale scent. I intend to try the Juiced version of Be Delicious--which is said to be lighter and have more notes of floral--but I would not repurchase this version again.
