This fragrance evolves on the skin, providing different impressions from the first spray to the final trail.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

Berries are sweet, flowers just a touch, and spices gentle. Overall, the scent is positive, which I like, but for me it's too sharp and cloying, like too much of everything all at once. It feels like an explosion of emotions, but sometimes you want something calmer )
5/5
5
A sweet scent, with a spicy hint. But it's not some cloying sweetness, more like a berry one. It reminds me of warm berry wine, when it's cold and rainy outside. The fragrance is very long-lasting, as if it's hugging and warming you. Overall, not a bad creation from the brand )

I can't say this "apple" made a good impression on me. Too sweet, to the point of nausea. I always thought apples should have freshness, not just cloying sweetness. This fragrance clearly overdid it with the sugar. Maybe it'd be suitable for colder weather, but right now it's not my cup of tea. It's kinda sad when something that should bring joy only causes disappointment!!
3/5

My friend and I decided to buy it, she just got a good discount. She adores such fragrances. Of all the 'apples' from Karanov, this one appealed to me the most. Yes, it's simple and without frills, but so lovely, warm, and fruity, leaning towards a soft oriental feel. It was very pleasant in cool summer weather 🍏
3/5

The scent is actually too artificial. At first, it gives the impression of a great perfume with fruity-berry notes, where apple accents and red fruits clearly stand out. But then it turns into something synthetic and unpleasant )
4/5

This scent is pure fruity chaos. I bought a small rollerball bottle, but honestly, I don't get why. In summer, I often pulled it out of my bag when I was looking for something bright and invigorating, but it just annoyed me. The longevity is decent, sure, but that doesn't save it. All in all, not impressed )
3/5

HORROR! This fragrance is just a nightmare. Too basic and synthetic, like a berry lipstick with burnt caramel. At first it even seemed okay, I generously sprayed it on myself, and then I was just thinking how to get rid of it
4/5

Got this perfume on a fantastic sale, definitely wouldn't have gone for it at full price. The scent is pleasant, a bit naive, with a slight lipstick note that I actually like. In the base, there's something spicy and oriental. Won't compare it to 'Be Delicious', that's a 2000s classic after all. But this flanker is quite decent. Sometimes a fragrance just doesn't click, but I actually want to wear this one. Don't expect anything super fancy, no wow factor either. Overall, the scent isn't bad, why not. Pretty good for a change 🌸
4/5

A bright start with berries and apples, which smoothly transitions into a light, almost weightless powder. The composition is rounded out by the warmth of vanilla. The scent is really pleasant and soft, creating a feeling of coziness and warmth
4/5

Accidentally found it in Rive Gauche. The red apple lured me. Expected sweetness, but no. Red fruits, apple, licorice, powdery rose with patchouli. Not sweet, but lipsticky, like apple flavor on lips. Thick lip gloss
5/5
5
It's just so amazing! Warm, long-lasting, and simply beautiful. I wear it in 'golden' autumn and on sunny winter days. I bought it spontaneously in the summer, didn't quite grasp it then, and put it away in a far corner. But in autumn, it revealed itself anew, and I just fell in love
4/5

This perfume reminds me of the smell of an old mink coat or some useless scarf. It stinks like I just walked out of a toilet in some pretentious restaurant where ladies try to look fancy. It's doing its own thing, but I'm definitely not impressed
2/5

Honestly, I don't get how I even decided to buy it, good thing it's only 15 ml. At first, it seemed so berry-like and delicious, sweet and sour. But now all I smell is a chemical scent. Can't figure out what's wrong 🤷‍♀️
