Another fruit salad perfume. The bottle looks like the declasse version of the new Cartier cherry scent and they both could be mistaken, if seen and smelled at a distance, for Lush Bath Bombs. Get a grip, you mass market perfumers. Not everyone likes maraschino cherries/raspberries on our persons!
Signed,
I'm over 18 and I vote
I heartily agree, L – enough with the fruity scents! Us grown-up women with ample fragrance budgets do not want to smell like a fruit salad, or a bakery, or a candy shop. But then again, there is patchouli and some nice woods lurking in this scent. I may have to pick up a sample vial next time I'm at the mall.
LOL — L, you & I are probably the ones who are out of step. Everyone seems to want sweet fruity florals. Haven't even smelled this one yet, but don't generally care for apple in perfume.
K, I do hear it is less apple-ish than Be Delicious. You know the patchouli is not a selling point for me, but it might be worth a try!
I love Be Delicious, so I'm hoping this will be good. Especially since I have collected the 3 types of previous bottles and will now have to purchase this one anyway.
Okay, I'm the odd person out here – I'm nearly 40 and I love Cartier Delices and other fruity perfumes, especially fruity citrus scents. I find them cheering.
Well then they've got you over a barrel, don't they? Pardon the pun
T, its clearly me who is the odd person. Everyone else loves fruity perfumes! I do like a few, but it seems to me that there are too many of them, and most of them are sweeter than I'd like.
Would love to see some really new trends emerge. Tired of fruity, tired of gourmand.
Ladies, I agree with you ALL about good-bye to candy scents. Last night I bought a sampler of perfumes at Sephora and the cashier threw in a sample of Red Delicous on my way out. It is just luscious. The patchouli gives it an unexpected bite and really rounds out the scent. I do recommend trying it ladies, I'm a much bigger fan than I thought i'd be.
I don't love it — as it happens, I don't care for patchouli either — but would agree that it is very well done.
