Red AppleBe Delicious Fresh Blossom
Donna Karan Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau de Parfum 100ml is the full size of a fragrance that has quietly stayed in demand since it appeared in 2009.
The opening is tart and juicy together. Grapefruit leads with a sharp bitterness, blackcurrant adds a green, slightly sour berry bite underneath it, and apricot rounds both off with a soft, faintly furred sweetness. It is a lively start and it does not last long, which is normal for materials of this kind. The heart is a clean floral trio. Rose is soft and full, lily of the valley is green and dewy with that cool spring quality it always has, and jasmine fills the middle with something warmer and richer. Then the base, and here it is a single material: red apple, crisp and sweet, which is an unusual thing to find holding the bottom of a composition. It gives the drydown a bright, slightly sugared quality rather than the earth or timber most fragrances settle into.
Longevity is decent for an eau de parfum, keeping a soft presence through a working day with the floral middle and the apple doing most of the carrying after the first hour. It projects politely rather than loudly.
Women are the intended buyer here, and it suits spring and summer, daytime, work and casual plans. The 100ml bottle is the right one if this is already your everyday scent, because it is the kind you use freely.
Donna Karan started her label in New York in 1984 after designing for Anne Klein, and built it on soft fabrics, neutral colours and the bodysuit. Be Delicious has been a familiar name since 2004. The fragrances are produced under licence rather than by the fashion business itself.
