This is a unique niche frag. This isn't for everyone...but that's the whole point of niche! Out of this whole collection, cursed apple started as my least favorite but quickly turned into my second favorite, b/c of that unique twist, & the layers of this fragrance. There is a fresh apple here, a sweet floral violet, an expensive, creamy lipstick, but surprisingly not too lip-sticky, not grannies lipstick, it's an airy expensive lipstick. Then you start getting that "bitter" poison note....at 1st I hated it but now I find it intriguing & I crave it. It's a good kind of bitterness and not too over whelming, it adds to the story & creates depth, without that poison note this would be flat & boring. I won the sample pack and I'm actually loving this new brand & will own a bottle soon!
