Red AppleBe Delicious Fresh Blossom
If you already own a big bottle of something heavier, Donna Karan Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau de Parfum 30ml is the small, bright counterweight to keep beside it for warm days.
Grapefruit sets the tone immediately, tart with a touch of bitterness, and blackcurrant deepens that with a green, sour berry edge. Apricot is the softener, a round and slightly fuzzy sweetness that ties the first two together. The middle is where the fragrance actually lives: rose gives it fullness, lily of the valley adds a cool green dewiness that reads as spring, and jasmine supplies warmth and a little richness. Red apple alone makes the base, which keeps the long hours crisp rather than warm, and it is the detail that distinguishes this from the many floral compositions that end in something soft and powdery.
It dates from 2009. At the time a great many fragrances were built on sugar; this one leans on green and tart materials instead, which is why it has not dated the way its contemporaries have. As an eau de parfum it has more staying power than its brightness suggests, lasting a good part of a day close to the skin.
This smaller size is pitched at anyone who likes variety more than volume. It is aimed at women, it suits daytime and mild to warm weather, and it fits in a handbag, a desk drawer or a weekend bag without any thought at all. For anyone who prefers to own several fragrances rather than one, this is the size that makes that possible.
Donna Karan launched her New York label in 1984, having spent years designing at Anne Klein, and became known for the bodysuit and for soft fabrics in quiet colours. Be Delicious has been familiar since 2004. The fragrance side has always been handled by a licensee.
