Les Plaisirs Nature - Pomme Délice Apple Delight Yves Rocher 2012
4
Hm. Unfortunately no Hmmmmmmmm....
I went into Yves Rocher to test the Christmas scent (not my thing) and accidentally stumbled upon this fragrance called "Apple Delight."
First, I must admit that I've never really connected with Yves Rocher. My friends rave about it, but to me, it feels a bit too... eco (yes, yes, I know, nature and all that is great and commendable, but this "everything is so wonderful because it's ecological" attitude just annoys me). Plus, I really dislike the "do you have a customer card?" stuff, just as much as the countless little gifts and extras that no one needs. But I think I'm getting off topic...
I hadn't heard anything about Apple Delight and imagined it to be an apple scent leaning towards baked apple. Warm, with almond flakes and a pinch of cinnamon. Wonderful! Full of anticipation for a cozy winter fragrance, I sprayed it on to test - and was brought back to the ground of reality.
It smells like apple and vanilla. That's about it. It smells like an overripe, dark red apple that has been sitting around for far too long. Mixed in is some vanillin from the Christmas bakery, all in all a strange blend of apple, just before fermentation, and highly artificial vanilla.
No one needs this - not even during the Christmas season!

Oh, now I'm relieved. I was just about to order this year's with pear, but maybe I'll wait a bit.

Yes, I was disappointed too. I was really looking forward to a nice cinnamon-vanilla baked apple scent :-(

It's a shame that the scent is disappointing. I would have thought it would be mouthwateringly delicious *sadlytrotting* ;-)
