THE Tumblr girl era perfume

Another "you just had to be there" type fragrance. This perfume was everything during golden age, clean girl Tumblr. It truly made you feel so cool. It was a staple in the sense that you really didn't need any other perfume, this was it. Mall hangouts, evening walks with your friends, house parties, on the bus reading a breakup text on your iPhone4, visiting grandma..

It felt fresh, chic and modern. And the apple notes scream at you in the best way. Its definitely a very fun and playful fragrance. BeDe is also what I imagine Charlie XCX smells like.

Bite Me -- I'm Delicious

I don't know why it took me so long to explore the DKNY apples?! Isn't it amazing how we can have a 'blind-spot' to a well publicized scent for sometimes years?
Well, just recently I have explored, loved & purchased DKNY "Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense" and now nothing is going to stop me from entering the DKNY Garden of Eden and pick each apple for a "test-bite"! ; )

Since there are so many, I continued with the "Original Apple Scent". A couple of days ago I got a mini EdP and my first impression is that on my skin it's very light for an EdP -- Too light in my opinion. (especially since they are not really cheap) On my skin the Eau So Intense is -to me- the EdP & the 'regular' EdP has the silage & longevity of an EdT.

On to the notes: of course apple is the first thing that greets my nose after I spray this...cucumber is only a very short visitor with magnolia as the dominant note that even outdoes the apple on me. The drydown is slightly apple fresh with a full magnolia note, a faint cucumber (which doesn't smell too gourmand but adds a fresh note to the apple) and in the last phase, I can smell sandalwood & woodsy notes. I like it, but I won't buy it because I think for my chemistry and preference in silage & longevity I have better results with the Eau So Intense range.

Some people say that they really like it a lot but won't buy it due to the popularity of the scent. "Too many people use it" -- Of course that is a valid point, IF one forgets that your chemistry plays a big part in perfumes (E.G. on me the apple note is covered up in sandalwood/magnolia).
If I really like a scent I won't reconsider purchasing it based on a fear that I "blend into the masses" -- I wear scents MAINLY for my own pleasure, and my chemistry might give any perfume that: "Je ne sais quoi" that makes it uniquely inherent to me. So, if you like any popular scent, please don't be discouraged by the threat of *mass popularity*....Try it on your skin and if you really enjoy it, enjoy it!!

Silage is: Apple fresh magnolia breeze with a sandalwood drydown that is yummy and cheery. -- Longevity is: 3-4 hours. *on to the next apple ; )*

An apple is an apple is an apple

or something like that. I was very curious what to expect there. And… was positively surprised. A very clean little apple jumped at me. The flowers complete the whole thing very nicely, are of no much consequence. The apple note carries on and stays quitew ell. Way at the end, about 5 hours later, what remains are woody notes with a fruity background. Dazzling green, like the flask, it could be worn in autumn for a change as well.

retrofuture-fruit

In the Year of the Brat, I'm hoping Be Delicious has her comeback. She's an icon. She really is. When it comes to the holy trinity of a fragrance great – solid performance, sick bottle, and a damn good scent – I'd argue Miss BeDe is a triple threat. ️

Form: Let's start with the nuts and bolts. The vessel is iconic. She's the Mona Lisa of Frutiger Aero. The very eau d'aero. Fish-tank screensavers, clear plastic craniums, toy robot dogs. She looks like a glossy app button you'd see on iOS 2.0.

Function: This is stalwart for an aquatic. Imagine that crisp, freshly-shampooed feeling you get fresh out of the shower. But imagine having that for eight straight hours. That's BeDe.

Psyche: BeDe is what a stock photo of a cyber-green apple smells like to a cyborg. It's what the future citizens of a green-and-glass utopia drink for breakfast. Gummy cubes of proto-cucumber, clear spheres of synthetic apple. Sweet neon acid. Brat juice. It's a viral sorority. Every time I smell BeDe in the wild I compliment the wearer, and they always seem giddy to have found a fellow fan.

tl;dr: e-apple

Famous green apple fragrance

This is apple at its very best.

DKNY Be Delicious is not tarty or sour like I expected it to be, the apple note is fresh, juicy and pretty.

This would make the perfect Summer fragrance. The additives of cucumber, magnolia and lily-of-the-valley makes this fragrance so very soft, feminine and crisp. There's an element of watery freshness which makes this fragrance ideal for really hot days.

The woodsy undertones in the base of this scent is fantastic and very different. A definite highlight for me and a great credit to Maurice Roucel who created this very popular fragrance.

DKNY Be Delicious' popularity is probably what turns me off buying this fragrance. I can't stand the thought of smelling like everyone else. Regardless of how much I enjoy this fragrance, I can't convince myself to get it.
