Scent Depot Score™
Good
Worth consideringA vivid red-berry/apple and lemon opening with a licorice bite moves into a soft rose–violet–orange blossom heart, finishing in creamy vanilla with resinous myrrh and a hint of Indonesian patchouli. Expect moderate longevity and sillage overall (community averages around 6.8–6.9/10), with stronger projection in the first 1–2 hours before settling closer to skin.
More Information
Key strengths
- Distinctive licorice‑berry twist within the DKNY apple family lends character versus typical fruity florals.
- Clear evolution from bright fruit to floral to warm vanilla‑resin keeps it engaging over time.
- Widely available through discounters/regional DKNY shops increases accessibility and value.
- Visually striking red‑apple bottle offers recognizable presentation.
Things to know
- You dislike licorice/anise notes—the accord is prominent early and can read ‘candy-like’ or sharp.
- You require long wear without resprays—reports range from 2 hours to several hours depending on skin/sprayer.
- You want a realistic ‘apple’ focus—many find berries and licorice dominate while apple is secondary.
- You prefer unsweet scents—this trends fruity‑sweet/gourmand through most of its life.
