Be Delicious
Grapefruit cuts through the opening of Donna Karan Be Delicious Eau de Parfum Gift Set, sharpening the green apple and cucumber that arrive with it, the apple tart and the cucumber cool and watery. Magnolia sits over all three and turns the top floral without softening the bite. Crisp and watery is the whole character of the opening, and the fruit never sweetens.
The heart is a clean bouquet of tuberose, lily of the valley, rose and violet, bright rather than opulent, with the violet giving it a powdery softness at the edges. Beneath it, sandalwood, white amber and musk keep everything low and warm, so the fragrance ends on skin rather than wood. It travels from crisp fruit to dewy flowers to quiet musk, and the green, fruity and aquatic accords are what define it, with ozonic air, citrus and a little fresh spice running through. None of it is heavy.
Maurice Roucel composed Be Delicious in 2004. Donna Karan launched her own label in New York in 1984 after leaving Anne Klein, adding the younger DKNY line in 1988.
With moderate longevity and moderate sillage it wears close to the skin rather than filling a room, which makes it an easy everyday choice. Summer and spring suit it best, autumn and winter work on the musk, and it covers casual days, professional wear and a night out. This version is sold as a gift set.
