7 Perfumes That Smell Like Green Apples
Welcome!
If you're craving a scent that fizzes with juicy, green-apple freshness, you've arrived at the right place! Today, I'm sharing seven glorious perfumes that capture that electric green-apple note.
Let’s dive in!
1. DKNY Be Delicious
This list wouldn't be complete without DNKY Be Delicious.
If this isn’t THE green apple perfume, I don’t know what is.
Instantly, you’ll get this dazzling burst of apple, combined notes of cucumber and a shimmer of grapefruit that brings everything to life.
It's one of my most favourite perfumes out there. When I first tried it, I fell in love with its refreshing, sparkling quality. It leaves a refreshing trail of snap-fresh apples and green dewdrops. And it's still one of my go-tos to this day. There's a whole range of flankers from this range that I'm looking forward to sampling one day...
But there IS another I'm a great fan of, which is what we'll be covering next.
2. DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom
If Be Delicious is a crunchy green apple picked straight from the tree, Fresh Blossom is that same apple sprinkled with petals. It's softer and sweeter. It feels more pink, than the original, if that makes any sense. This one mingles green apple with a bouquet of sweet pea, jasmine, and rose, creating an airy and refreshing scent.
Spray it on, and you get a gentle cloud of refreshing floral fruitiness: a nudge of fruit, a swirl of blossoms, delicate yet with a little zesty bite. It opens with a wash of citrus and then dries down to something softly floral, but that apple core always peeks through.
It's a delightfully pink, zesty and sparkling fragrance.
Surprise, surprise! It's also one of my most favourite perfumes.
I'm noticing a pattern here... 😄
3. Escada Taj Sunset
Now here’s something with a little twist. Escada Taj Sunset is a tropical fragrance with notes of apple, mango and orange. It also has a delicious coconut gelato note which combines beautifully with the other notes.
The pop of tart apple keeps it lively, never cloying. It makes you think of eating tropical fruit salad by the beach, sun glinting off the water, your skin sticky-sweet but cooled by a sea breeze.
It’s a luminous and joyful fragrance. Not strictly green apple all the way down, but the note lifts the whole thing into a juicy, playful space. Great if you're looking for a perfume with a tropical twist.
4. Moschino I Love Love
Moschino’s I Love Love brings a fizzy, sparkling energy with its blend of citrus and — you guessed it — a bright, almost tart green apple top note. Think opening a lemon-lime soda and catching that first blast of bubbles, mixed with the snap of apple skin.
Instead, orange and grapefruit keep things zesty, while musk and woody notes round it out. On hot afternoons, I can’t get enough of it. It wakes up your senses, feels playful (in a grown-up way), and yes — that apple note lingers, subtle but totally addictive. If you love compliments, well, let’s just say people tend to ask what you’re wearing.
5. Elizabeth Arden Green Tea
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea isn’t branded as an apple perfume, but spray it and—surprise!—that unmistakable crisp, almost dewy green apple note shines without fuss.
It’s more than just fruit, though. There’s a soft, leafy green backdrop — hints of mint, delicate jasmine, and a clean, lightly herbal finish to keep it airy and breezy.
I love it for work, errands, or just spritzing on after a shower. It instantly transports me to an azure blue waterfall during summer. (I'm also a great fan of its variation Green Tea & Lotus, covered in another article.)
6. Bon Parfumeur - 201
This is an excellent fragrance with a dazzling array of perfume notes, including green apple, lily of the valley and quince.
It's super refreshing overall, and would be excellent for summer too.
The notes combine beautifully to create an invigorating scent.
7. Nina by Nina Ricci
Somehow playful and elegant, Nina by Nina Ricci pairs candied green apple with smooth lemon and a touch of praline. The apple here adds this uplift, so everything feels crisp and fresh.
It opens tart and bright, but the vanilla and musk in the dry-down keep it grounded. For me, there’s a nostalgia in Nina — a sense of fun and afternoons spent window-shopping just because.
