Belle Dolce Red Delice

How it Smells

Belle Dolce Red Delice opens with a blast of candied apple. It's undeniably similar to Kayali's Eden Juicy Apple, I'd say roughly 86% in the opening. The litchi and black currant add a tartness, but the synthetic edge is noticeable here, a bit sharper than the original. The heart continues the fruity theme, with wild berries and a touch of floral sweetness. The raspberry bloom is present, but feels less natural than the Kayali. As it dries, the sugar note comes forward, balanced by a fluffy musk and a hint of vanilla. The dry down is where it deviates most, becoming slightly more powdery and less complex.

Wear time & Sillage

Longevity is moderate. I get around 4-5 hours on skin, with decent projection for the first hour. After that, it becomes a skin scent. It projects maybe an arms length for that initial hour. Reapplication is necessary if you want all-day wear. Not bad point, but don't expect miracles.

Bottom Line

For the cost, Belle Dolce Red Delice is a solid contender if you like the Eden Juicy Apple DNA but can't justify the price tag. It captures the essence of the original pretty well, albeit with some synthetic undertones. If you're extremely sensitive to synthetic notes, proceed with caution. But if you're a value-conscious fragrance lover looking for a fun, fruity scent for everyday wear, this is a worthwhile option. This gets you close enough.
