Red AppleBe Delicious Fresh Blossom
Lily of the valley is the material that gives Donna Karan Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau de Parfum 50ml its character, and it is the reason the scent reads as spring rather than as summer fruit.
That green, cool, slightly dewy flower sits at the centre of the composition with rose on one side, full and soft, and jasmine on the other, warmer and richer. Over the top, grapefruit opens sharp and a little bitter, blackcurrant adds a sour green bite, and apricot smooths them both with a gentle sweetness. Underneath, the base is a single material: red apple, crisp and clean, holding the composition up at the end without weight. It is an unusual way to finish a fragrance and it works. Most compositions of this type end on something soft and powdery; this one keeps a little bite right to the end.
Our records date it to 2009. The eau de parfum concentration gives it several hours of comfortable wear, with a moderate trail that stays polite in company. Two sprays is the right amount and a third adds nothing.
The 50ml size is the middle option and probably the most sensible for someone who wears it regularly but not exclusively. It is aimed at women and it is at its best in daylight and mild weather, when the green and the citrus have room to show. In cold air it closes up a little and the apple base becomes the most noticeable part of it.
The New York label began in 1984, set up by Donna Karan after she had designed at Anne Klein, and known from the start for soft fabrics in muted colours. Be Delicious has been a well established name since 2004. Fragrance production has always been licensed to another company.
