DKNY BE DELICIOUS GREEN APPLE REVIEW....

There are so  many things that make us happy.....somethings bring a smile to our face even when we think of them....The product that I will be reviewing today is  something like that....only the thought is enough to make me break in to  a smile:)...As I write this post this on a sunday evening,experiencing premature moday morning blues,,,,I am suddenly not so sullen anymore....and I have not even gone near the product as yet....

DKNY(Donna Karan New York) BE DELICIOUS GREEN APPLE EDP......

What The Site mentions:

The first DKNY perfume for women was Be Delicious, which is a fragrance appropriate for daytime wear.  The top notes are green with hints of violet leaf, apple, grapefruit, and magnolia.  The heart of the fragrance is made up of tuberose, lily of the valley, rose, and violet.  The scent finishes with hints of sandalwood, amber and musk.

 A fruity-floral fragrance that brings out the freshness, brightness and energy of its wearer, the DKNY Be Delicious perfume is perfect for that charming feminine lady who is bold and outgoing. The lively fragrance opens like a green apple both crisp and tart before mellowing into a scent that is so romantic and earthly. It is like a young virgin, so fresh and heavenly, that will make you eager to take a bite and yet unbearable to see her hurt.:P:P

My experience with the perfume...

It is a very MAKE ME HAPPPY kind of fragrance....for me....The smell is very very fresh,.....it instantly remnids me of green granny smith apples.Crisp,very crisp ,juicy with the right amount of tartness to them.Another whiff I get is a lilttle cucmbery and melony...like a musky melony melony:).Also after some time the fragrance settles down to a more sweet fruity smell. also a little bit musky.In my expereince I found it to be more fruity than floral....After lasting for a few hours it settles down to a whiff of musky smoothess....

It is available in 4 varieties of be delicious original(green),red delicious(floral red),fresh blossom(floral pink),delicious night(purple coloured bottle).Also they have varities like juiced and candy....YUMMM!!!

What I LOVED :

• It makes me happy....and by that  I really mean happy...it literally brings a smile to my face when I wear it..:)))
• Its a crisp,fresh,fragrance for daytime
• It can be worn very comfortably to work,for shopping a day out.,a luncheon,just about anything
• Its glamorous and the girl next door at the same time.
• Lasts fairly well around 6 - 8 hours on me..but lightens considerably by the end of this time..
• i got it for 2385INR  from fashion and you,where as  the shops sell it for around 4000 INR +
• It is good for people who hate strong in your face perfumes as well!

What I DID NOT LOVE:

• It does not last very long ,like maybe escada magnetism....
• It might not appeal to those who dont like fruity smells.

MY VERDICT

its a gorgeous day time perfume for every age....(makes me feel young :P)would definetely rebuy....

Have you all used this as yet...???

tell tell!!!:P

My experience with the perfume
It is a very refreshing perfume...on spraying the first notes are lemony.....something like lemon grass mixed with musk.....other things I could not make out initally....Later it does smell  a  bit mild spicy...fennel like  and  fruity......
It is very adequate for day wear..It is a subtle..not too much in your face kind of smell ,so people who are averse to strong perfumes ..might like this a lot..
I am a I should smell good from an arms distance kind of person.....So for me it is a bit mild..
But after using So many rich fragrances,this is a welcome and pleasant change....
LASTING POWER:
I had thought that it would be very less say 3-4 hours considering how mild it is.....but it lasted 6 hours o around 7 hours ....but it did fade away ......
My escada  magnetism lasts for 24 hours or more....really it does.....so on that aspect...Minus  half a a point
Also do not think the bottle is precious.its sooooo plain.
Will I repurchase.....maybe....if I am not enticed with any other one..
Rating 4/5...half point minus for plain bottle and half for lasting powe
 Have you all tried it...did you like it??
Let me know
