Arabia Prestige Cursed Green Apple Review: Fruity Gourmand

A sweet, powdery vanilla-musk blend with a crisp apple pie opening – perfect for spring and summer.

By Vivir · · Updated

Arabiyat Prestige has carved a niche in the budget-friendly gourmand segment, and their latest release, Cursed Green Apple, continues that tradition. Launched in 2026, this unisex Eau de Parfum aims to deliver a juicy, sweet apple experience with a creamy, powdery base. Priced at just $54.99 for a 100ml bottle, it positions itself as an affordable alternative to pricier fruity gourmands.

The name 'Cursed Green Apple' hints at a playful, slightly mysterious twist on a classic fruit note. But does the scent live up to the intrigue? We tested it across multiple wearings to bring you a detailed, factual review based on verified data and real-world performance.

From the opening apple pie accord to the soft vanilla-musk drydown, this fragrance is designed for daily wear in warm weather. Let's break down every aspect – accords, notes, longevity, sillage, and value – to help you decide if it deserves a spot in your collection.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0-30 minutes are dominated by a photorealistic Apple Pie accord – baked apple, cinnamon, and a hint of pastry. It's sweet, slightly tart, and immediately comforting. The cherimoya is barely perceptible at this stage.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

After about an hour, the apple pie fades and the cherimoya emerges – a creamy, tropical fruit with notes of banana and pineapple. The vanilla begins to soften the edges, creating a smooth, custard-like heart. The powderiness starts to build.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

By the 4-hour mark, the fruit is largely gone, leaving a soft, powdery vanilla-musk base. The musk is clean and slightly animalic, while the vanilla remains sweet but not cloying. This phase lasts several hours on clothing.
