DKNY - Not Such A Delicious Night

Advantages: If you like it - long lasting
Disadvantages: Heavy, Old fashioned, strong

...fragrance before but I am familiar with the range of television adverts promoting their Delicious range (usually with apples). This Donna Karen New York range is advertised for women (although they do offer a scent for men too) and was introduced in 2007. My sample included 2 small plastic sachets of perfume, in a plastic bubble type packaging with a snap end which opens a very small pin hole for the perfume to be squeezed out of. The plastic is black with a clear bubble where you can see a decent amount of fluid. Unfortunately due to the way the packaging is designed you cannot reuse your sample, so if you do not need the full amount you will waste the rest of the product as it is not reseal-able. On snapping the plastic I was immediately squirted in the eye, so with watery eyes I applied the fragrance to the inside of my wrists...

Review of Donna Karan DKNY Delicious Night

DELICIOUS NIGHT

Advantages: nice fruity/floral/muscy composition
Disadvantages: poor staying power considering it is an eau de toillette

...DKNY Delicious Night Eau De Parfum is a fragrance which was launched by Donna Karen New York in 2007, following the release of the previous 2 DKNY fragrances which were Be Delicious and Delicious Red. As well as the Delicious Night perfume you can also purchase other Delicious Night fragranced bath and body products such as the body lotion and shower gel which has the same fragrance as the perfume. The complimentary bath and body products help to layer the scent of the perfume upon your skin therefore increasing the longevity of the scent. People who have dry or oily skin and find that the scent of perfumes don't really last on their skin may benefit from using the complimentary bath and body products before applying the perfume; as this would give the scent a base to layer itself upon therefore increasing the longevity of the scent...

The Vodka-Orange Dream

Advantages: It's a gorgeous fragrance!
Disadvantages: Can be quite strong

...Hmmm...wondering what the title's all about? Well, you see, when I first tested this perfume out in Boots, the woman at the perfume counter told me it was inspired by the taste (huh?!) and smell of a vodka and orange. Personally, I can't quite see where she's coming from but anyway...! The perfume is called DKNY quite simply. The DKNY acronym stands for Donna Karan New York. Like alot of perfume manufactuers, DKNY first started as a fashon label and moved into the perfumery market. This is DKNY's first frangrance for women (brought out in 2000) and I think they did a damn good job! The bottle is tall and slender and is in the shape of a diamond. Half of it is frosted glass, the other half is clear. Quite a nice effect...yep, I think I approve! The box the bottle is presented in is also very nice - you can't miss it on the shelf! It...

Review of Donna Karan DKNY

Fruity and Fresh

Advantages: Gorgeous Fruity smell, great packaging
Disadvantages: Does not last as long as I would like

...I had been after the DKNY (Donna Karan, New York) fragrance for absolutely ages, after smelling a tester in Boots - I HAD to have it! Luckily my fiance brought the 30ml Energizing Eau De Parfum for christmas - so as you can imagine, I was really pleased!!! One of the first things that attracted me to this fragrance was it's modern packaging, a silver and transparent long diamond shaped box with black 'DKNY' logo titled horizontally on the silver front. The bottle is the same modern shape as the packaging, a very attractive bottle with both misted glass and normal glass on either side. It has a silver spray pump on top of the bottle and a glass top which has the DKNY logo, again horizontally on the front. Thats the boring packaging bit over...now the most important bit - the scent! You really do not have to use very much...

Can Karan & Arjun Make Me Watch This Again? NO!

Advantages: not many
Disadvantages: too long, silly story

...Karan and Arjun are brothers living with their mother Durga. As adults they are murdered by their uncle who also killed their father to take over the boys' inheritance from their paternal grandfather. In her grief, Durga, becomes obsessed with praying to God and miles away and unrelated her boys are reborn. Years later, Karan & Arjun meet and feeling they know each other, they somehow end up in the village from their last life and meet Durga who seems to have become a madwoman. Will the boys realise they were brothers in a previous life? Will they recognise their "mother? Will they avenge their father and their own murders and get justice for Durga? Or will they meet the same fate and die again? To analyse this film I found myself pondering reincarnation and do I believe in it? Sometimes I think I do, but more often, I don...

Review of Karan Arjun (DVD)

Smells Okay, but makes me Itch!

Advantages: Smells okay so long as you dont use to much, well designed bottle
Disadvantages: Scent not for everyone, can be overpowering, reacts badly to my sensitive skin

...and underneath this, its meaning (Donna Karen New York). Overlapping this large brand name was a small oval that had in it the products personal logo. This had a white rim and was a faded red inside. It again said DKNY then, for the first time on the box, had Red Delicious in dark red swirly writing. I personally feel that the name of the product should have had more precedence on the box and the brand name should have been less of a front runner in the design. Although I understand that it is the designer make that will sell the product, I feel from an advertising point of view, knowing which particular product you are buying is more important than who made it. The bottle is very attractive and bauble shaped which is unusual and eye-catching for a consumer. It does of course represent a red apple, which I think it has done fairly successfully...

Review of Donna Karan DKNY Red Delicious Eau de Parfum Spray

Do you want to smell good enough to eat?

Advantages: Great everyday fragrance with a special quality
Disadvantages: Some people may not be thrilled about the price

...As I share a flat with another girl I get the bonus of being able to share perfumes and test them out before actually having to buy them myself. This has proved invaluable as after a few days wear I always seem to go off them. The original DKNY 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 the apple and gives it an all over easy to wear scent. Various descriptions I have seen include crispy and edgy; sweet and sinful; innocent...

Review of Donna Karan Be Delicious Eau de Parfum Spray

Fresh Fruity Fragrance

Advantages: smells good, nice bottle design, not too pricey
Disadvantages: -

...It?s been a while since I bought a new fragrance but instead of telling you about my most recent buy I will talk to you about my current favourite fragrance. I don?t like overpowering perfumes but I do like, light but fresh scents and this is why I really like DKNY Be Delicious. I first heard of this perfume through reading one of my magazines. On the advert for this perfume there was one of those peel back labels where you can have a smell, I really liked the smell of it and wanted to know more so the next time I visited a department store I was on the look out for ?Be Delicious?. 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...

Review of Donna Karan Be Delicious Eau de Parfum Spray

Sitting in an orchard....

Advantages: Light and fresh, interesting bottle
Disadvantages: Scent wears off quickly

...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 follows the standard format of a cardboard box wrapped in 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...
