Be Desired DKNY 2015

A crisp, clean, safe day scent. I get some Clinique Happy vibes from this, although it's been awhile since I've smelled that fragrance but I can see they share similar notes. On me, it opens with a nice green, juicy apple sweetness and dries down to showcase the florals more with the faintest notes of the woods after awhile. The green notes stay throughout. It has a unique quality in that it feels very feminine despite sharing qualities with men's fragrances. This is a perfect light and fresh scent for Spring or Summer. It's not long lasting or strong enough to wear as a date night fragrance nor does it feel warm enough for a Fall or Winter scent. I find it inoffensive, cheerful, and office appropriate.

Right now, I don't like demanding, complicated fragrances, because life is complicated enough.

That's where Be desired comes in handy, - like "desired," so to speak.

It hasn't reinvented Be delicious, but it's a lovely, approachable flanker.
It's not a brain teaser, as its message is clear - it wants to be cheerful and happy.
And it succeeds well.

Orange and blackcurrant are fresh and fruity, and the grapefruit is really cool and subtly bitter.
The jasmine shines brightly floral, and the Turkish rose peeks through with a slight citrus note.
The cedarwood doesn't weigh down the light fragrance, as it is beautifully transparent.
Cashmeran makes the lively scent creamy.

A friendly - lively fragrance blend that certainly has its place.
