The main ... ...I was a bit surprised when the first hint was that of fresh sweet lemons. After a few seconds, the scent releases a sour aroma, almost like limes, but gradually the focal scent is slowly released, first of fresh apples and slowly, very slowy it mellows into something more distinct - granny apples.. I actually prefer this to the red delicious version. This fragrance, at first, doesn't seem to have much of a range, but its mellowness conveys a depth ...

...DKNY is the label for Donna Karan’s fashion house. It was in 1988 that Donna Karan started her DKNY line which was a bit cheaper than her high fashion range. Branching away from just keeping it a clothing line she later made a kid’s clothing line, beauty products, accessories and furniture. Her sales shot up and more than half come from the DKNY lines.

The DKNY Be Delicious bottle is very nice. I like this a lot because they have really thought out the design, the bottle is in the shape of an apple and so it is spherical. It is easy to hold in the palm of your hand and is a nice size. The bottom half of the bottle is transparent so you can see the green liquid inside and see how much of the liquid is left, the green resembling the colour of an apple too is nice. The top half is silver metal ...

Introduction
In 1984, Donna Karan created her company, her first collection being released the following year. The perfume Be Delicious was launched in 2004. The creators say that the perfume was designed to 'celebrate New York, it's people and ethos, this beautiful fragrance combines the individuality and modern ethos of this town with the effortless chic and urban style of Donna Karan.'
What the Packaging is Like
The packaging for Be Delicious ... ...cellophane. The box has been designed to look like a brown cardboard box. This is a nice touch as it gives the packaging a rustic, orchardy feel which is great for apple perfume! DKNY is printed in large white letters across the front.
What the Bottle is Like
The bottle for Be Delicious is almost spherical, I think intended to evoke the idea of an apple shape. The bottom of the bottle is made of glass. The glass, rather than the perfume is green ...

Advantages: Long lasting, Fresh Disadvantages: None
Now, when you are with a girl, the prerequisite for even being around them for more than 5 minutes is the smell they are wearing. I have been with some girls over the years who, because of their scent, have forced me to flee for the hills, and obviously delete their number. One perfume which I think every girl I am interested in should wear is DKNY Delicious. This perfume accentuates all the best features a woman has, her neck, her breasts, her hair....and ... ...early stages of a relationship. Everytime I smell this wonderful scent, I am entranced, even if the girl is sub par with regard to looks. One good thing about this perfume is the scent lasts longer than 2 hours, with the average time of scent lasting roughly 8 hours on most women. All the women out there, I highly recommend this perfume if you are interested in attracting the right kind of man ...

Review of Donna Karan Be Delicious Eau de Parfum Spray
Advantages: Great everyday fragrance with a special quality Disadvantages: Some people may not be thrilled about the price
...perfume by high Profile Designer Donna Karan was very nice, so when my flatmate bought the new Be Delicious fragrance I was sure I would love it.
The bottle is shaped like an apple and made of glass with a metal top,with the scent of apples making up the majority of the fragrance. Unlike other appley perfumes, this fragrance is not overpowering. There is a strong hint of apples but also an underlying fresher, light floral fragrance which tones down ... ...a recently launched perfume by Donna Karan. Of course if you try some online perfume retailers you may find it a lot cheaper.
This is advertised as suitable for evening wear but I think it is suitable for any occasion, day or night. It is very light yet lingering and you will find people sniffing after you trying to capture the ever so slightly elusive scent.

Advantages: Smells Nice Disadvantages: Doesn't last long
DKNY Be Delicious is a great fragrance, it has great packaging, but no so great scent life. It was inspired by the Big Apple (New York) and so is suposed to smells like apples, but I disagree.
Packaging: This perfume comes in a little brown box, with the brand and product name and details on it. The box is sore of like you would expect an apple to come in if you ordered it off the internet maybe.
Bottle: The bottle for this is great, like an apple ... ...sprayer bit is quite difficult to see, as it is embedded in the silver half of the bottle.
Scent: This is said to smell like apples, but to me it smells more like leaves, and watermelon. As soon as you spray it on you can smell the leaves, and a hint of apple, but I think that "Garden Delicious" would be a much more suitable name, as people have commented that they think it smells more 'green' than fruity. Also the scent life on this isn't too great, ...

Advantages: Smells lovely, lasts a while Disadvantages: Can be costly
Ive been using this product for about 6 months now, and I must say it is one of my best perfumes, it comes in a lovely apple shaped bottle, silver in colour on the top half and green just like a golden delicious apple on the bottom (hence the name).
The sticker on the side of the bottle states 100% pure new york, the bottle itself is quite heavy and solid, the vapouriser is at the top of the bottle with a handy spray button that fits nicely with ... ...The perfume smells beautiful it is not a strong overpowering fragrance has a lovely, summery, happy, subtle delicate fragrance (thats probably the best way to descrive it) It smells delicate and yes it has a hint of a beautiful smell of an apple, to me it smells like a granny smith apple rather than a golden delicious, it also smells quite flowery and slighly musky, I dont particularly like a musk smell, but absolutely adore this.

Advantages: long-lasting great-smelling fragrance! Disadvantages: it is quite distictive smelling so may not appeal
Today I have just (guttingly) finished my first bottle of DKNY Be Delicious. I am a girl of habit and usually stick to the same fragrance and was given a bottle of this as a Christmas present. I turned out to be pleasantly surprised and will be off to purchase another bottle! Anyway, here's its vital statistics.....

This main fragrance is apple. Don't be put off by this as it may not be to everyone's taste as the scent is lightened ... ...is very crisp and fresh smelling.

Advantages: Not expensive perfume Disadvantages: Slightly heavy
General:
I got this perfume as a Christmas present last year, as soon as my friend told me I was going to get something smelly and oblong I had no doubts! It had to be the Be Delicious from DKNY. The ad on tv shows it as fresh fruity and sexy (certainly not edible!) but not very sure about the last attribute...
When you put it on it feels like spraying some acidic apple juice, an unmistakeable scent anyone could easily recognize on you which in ... ...would not really classify this fragrance as classy as a Chanel, it would probably appeal more to people in their twenties and thirties with rather young taste.
The bottle shape is oblong, a bit too glassy and heavy for my liking as I enjoy taking my perfume with me in my handag, on the other hand there is an easy spray button on top so you don't have to bother taking the usual top on and off. There is a tiny cute round sticker on top as decoration ...

Advantages: Leaves you with a soft fragrance all day Disadvantages: Will not last day and night - will have to reapply
I don\'t generally go for this kind of perfume, be it make or the smell that it makes you think about (ie fruity), but I got this as a christmas present and I have to say that it is lovely. It is very fruity to begin with, with a lovely light fragrance of apples and cucumber, there is also quite a strong alcohol smell, but that soon dies down (within a couple of seconds). The fragrance you are left with, which still keeps the original smells, is ... ...hours, so perfect for a night out, although this is not a strong fragrance so if you like people to know there\'s something gorgeous smelling coming you will not get that from this perfume!
The packaging is very compact and is quite pretty, designed to look like I suppose a Golden Delicious Apple. This is an eau de Parfum and it comes in two sizes 30ml and 60ml.
I recommend this perfume for a day or night - why not give it a go! ...

...DKNY has been produced by Donna Karen, since 1988. It is a well known brand, standing for Donna Karen New York. **The packaging**
The packaging i got was absolutely amazing, i've kept it for a year because i liked it so much! It's a shiny green box with DKNY Be Delicious in a little circle across the lid. I bought a set which came with lotion aswell as the parfum, which was really good value for money.

The product smells absolutely ... ...down a button on the top, which is very smooth by the way, and it sprays out a bit of the perfume. It also lasts for a rather long time.

Advantages: Light and fresh rather than overpowering. Disadvantages: Doesn't stand out as it is worn by many people.
This is a young, fresh smelling perfume, reminiscent of summery evenings, this has a good staying power but isn't particularly overpowering for those around the wearer which is a bonus. This perfume is good value for money as it is at the lower end of the price scale of designer perfumes. I prefer this scent to the red DKNY one as this is more subtle, and girly. The packaging is fun and contributes to the idea of the pefume being an fresh, apple ... ...wearer needs only a few spritzes for it to keep them fresh all day.
