De Young Red
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a proper little bargain, punching well above its weight. It's a sweet, spicy blackberry-vanilla combo that's got a dedicated following for good reason, though some pick up an odd 'pencil shavings' or 'vinyl' note. Grab it if you see it, as it's often discontinued.
De Young Red is a masterclass in fruity-woody balance. It's often hailed as one of the best in its class, delivering a deep, complex raspberry that manages to be both mysterious and universally appealing. Don't expect a beast-mode projector, but it's a solid performer for a modern, sensual vibe.
