Apple and pear are the easiest fruits to love in a bottle, and each of these does it differently. KAYALI Eden Juicy Apple 01 is red apple with wild berries and jasmine in a translucent red bottle. Ellis Brooklyn Apple Love is a vanilla amber gourmand written as a love letter to New York. Rare Beauty Rare Beginnings pairs pear nectar with gardenia and vanilla bean, and the brand says it lingers on skin for up to 12 hours. By Rosie Jane Leila Lou is a juicy pear with jasmine and freshly cut grass. KAYALI Eden Plush Pear 23 is ripe pear with gardenia and vanilla caviar in a pink lacquered bottle. BROWN GIRL Jane Carousel is caramelized apple with cotton candy and sandalwood. World of Chris Collins Forbidden Apple Croque Moi is red apple and pomegranate over vanilla bourbon, in a flask bottle inspired by Prohibition era speakeasies. Burberry Brit is icy pear, sugared almond and vanilla.

Pairing tip: if you like the green snap of Be Delicious, go for Leila Lou. If you want dessert, Carousel and Croque Moi are the ones.

What I would skip: a sugary apple gourmand in a warm office or a crowded train. Save Carousel and Croque Moi for cool nights, and wear the lighter pears when you will be indoors all day.

Be Delicious is fresh at its core, so the citrus and green side of the shelf is the natural next step. Yves Saint Laurent Libre L'Eau Nue is an alcohol free perfume with green mandarin and bergamot, and the brand frames it as a long Mediterranean summer. Marc Jacobs Daisy Murakami Green is a limited edition with banana and jasmine, and the bottle is part of the Takashi Murakami collaboration. Henry Rose Windows Down opens on grapefruit and bergamot and is unisex. Jo Malone London Yuzu Zest is a cologne with yuzu, clary sage and fir balsam. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino is the brand's homage to the Italian Riviera, with Tunisian neroli and Sicilian lemon. By Rosie Jane Remi is mandarin, cardamom and white amber, inspired by California citrus groves. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Forte is Italian mandarin with vanilla and sandalwood. LoveShackFancy Forever in Love brings green pear and gardenia in a bottle with an oversized bow.

How to wear them: citrus fades fast, so spray it on clean skin after a shower and reapply at midday.

What I would skip: Forever in Love and Daisy Murakami Green if you want something sharp and clean. They are sweeter and more floral than the rest, so a grapefruit or neroli is the better match.

The way I pick a fruit perfume is by the bite. If you want the crisp, green feel of Be Delicious, stay with the original and the apple and pear bottles that lean fresh. If you want a softer dessert side, try the gourmands with vanilla and caramel. For warm days, the citrus ones are easier to live in.

Spray once on skin and walk around with it for an hour before you decide, because fruit notes open loud and settle quieter. A flanker that feels like too much in the first minute can turn out to be the one you keep reaching for. And the apple bottle is still fun to have on a dresser, which is most of the reason this line has lasted.
