New Donna Karan fragrance Red Delicious will debut this spring. It will have the green apple notes of the original Be Delicious amplified with sweeter, fruitier notes. The red bottle is very lovely, and I wish I had a scanned photo on hand.
Also, when searching for a photo of the bottle, I came across this interesting article in Sunday Times about the use of apple extracts in cosmetic preparations and apple notes in fragrances.

I took the opportunity to blend seaweed, vetiver and mimosa essential oils. It is a very pleasant and interesting menage a trois. At first the seaweed hits the nose but… April 18, 2024 at 1:32am

Victoria’s Own: I love Be Delicious, so I’m very interested in this one. So does the bottle have the same shape? Does it look like the red version of the original?
That would be confusing if so. February 3, 2006 at 12:41pm
BoisdeJasmin: V, the bottle is red, and it is very pretty. I must say that I prefer the original Be Delicious, but this version is very nice too. February 4, 2006 at 4:53pm
Denise: You say red delicious by DKNY will be available this spring. Can you be more specific about a date? I’m already seeing it in magazines but nobody at any of the major dept stores or Sephora has heard of it.
Thanks! February 9, 2006 at 8:54pm
BoisdeJasmin: I do not know the exact date at this point either. Supposed to have been for the Valentine’s Day, but it does not look like it now. February 9, 2006 at 10:19pm
