Have you ever tried a Honeycrisp apple? I had never heard of them until visiting a friend in Michigan. I don't think I've ever had a better apple.
They can be ordered online during their season, but I haven't done it yet. And once I knew to look for them, I found them for short periods of time locally.
I used to eat Delicious apples, but they are a little soft to me now. I switched to Gala apples, when I tried them, which I now love. I had a hard time not buying a Gala in Michigan, but since the orchards are close to my friend's house, I knew whatever I tried would be good.
Around here, good apples are scarce. By the time they get to us, they are bruised under the skin. It is citrus that is unbelievably good here because we are close to the groves. You have never had really good orange or grapefruit until you get them from the grove.
It's no surprise that I enjoy notes of both citrus -- especially sweet orange -- and applies in perfumes, though I don't consider myself one who likes artificial fruity perfumes. I don't wear orange blossom well, though I like to smell it in the air around the groves.
Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana, introduced in 2001, is a lovely, long lasting fragrance, and one I was complimented on recently. It is considered to be floral-fruity. It has the crisp sweetness of a real apple, coupled with woods and amber. I think it is calling to me today, though I'm not sure I will wear it.
top notes: Sicilian citron, bluebell, and granny smith
heart notes: jasmine sambac, bamboo, white rose
bottom: cedar wood, musk, amber
Others that have apple notes include: Pure White Linen (by Estee Lauder); Nirmala by Molinard (one version of this smells similar to Angel); Roberto Cavalli and Oro by Roberto Cavalli. Donna Karan has several apple fragrances, none of which I wear well. Burberry, Burberrys, and Old Burberry London have green apple in them -- and vanilla.
Do you wear any of these?
Are you a fan of apples in your fragrances?
