What does Red Delicious smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters find it feminine and modern.

It opens with raspberry and lychee, a fresh, sweet fruit note. The heart of apple, rose and patchouli turns floral, and the base of amber and vanilla keeps the sweetness going while leather adds a little depth. Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani - Diamonds (Eau de Parfum) and La Fede Kiss of Rose have a close profile.
